FAUCHON MEETS KYOTO: this is an exceptional marriage of the iconic French FAUCHON hospitality brand with the traditional design and cultural elements of Japan, achieved by Spin Design Studio of Japan. The property is a masterful blend of FAUCHON style featuring magenta, black, and gold with a nod to its Japanese location. There are black painted bamboo accents on the walls, Sakura petals incorporated in many design elements including on the lobby ceiling lights as well as fabrics in the guest rooms and suites, and Washi paper (used in Origami)on the wall above the headboards in the guest rooms. Another design element is the bedside lighting, which resembles the French mille-feuille pastry.
