THE HOTEL THAT<br />
NEVER SLEEPS<br />
LAUNCHED IN MARCH <strong>2016</strong>,<br />
HOTEL THE M INNSOMNIA<br />
AKASAKA CREATES A<br />
SMART YET COMFORTABLE<br />
BASE FOR TRAVELERS AND<br />
BUSINESSPEOPLE WHO<br />
WORK AND PLAY 24/7<br />
These days, people want more from<br />
their vacations or business trips than<br />
just a fleeting glimpse at a city’s top<br />
tourist attractions. They want to get<br />
to know the heart of the place they’re staying in,<br />
and learn more about its history and culture.<br />
When creating their latest property, HOTEL the<br />
M INNSOMNIA akasaka sought to offer exactly<br />
this, so they positioned the hotel in Akasaka, one<br />
of <strong>Tokyo</strong>’s most culturally rich neighborhoods,<br />
and incorporated facilities that allow guests<br />
to work and socialize around the clock. Here’s<br />
what you can look forward to when booking<br />
a stay at HOTEL the M INNSOMNIA akasaka:<br />
GUEST ROOMS THAT ARE MORE LIKE<br />
APARTMENTS<br />
The hotel offers seven different types of rooms,<br />
named either according to how large it is in<br />
square meters, or for its appeal in terms of Japanese-style<br />
decor. The smallest is “Thirty Five”<br />
(35m²), but even this one includes a lounge area<br />
and workspace. The biggest room is “Wa – Japanese<br />
Style” (60m²), and combines Western-style<br />
twin beds with an 8-mat tatami room that can<br />
be used for relaxing or for additional guests who<br />
can make use of futon bedding.<br />
Room rates start from ¥21,000 per person per night.<br />
A WORKAHOLIC’S DREAM SPACE<br />
Why’s that? Because HOTEL the M INNSOMNIA<br />
akasaka has a room called “Workaholic” that<br />
comes equipped with a boardroom table where<br />
you can host meetings and conference calls, a<br />
top quality audio system, and a high-definition<br />
TV screen with multiple channels that’s ideal for<br />
catching a sports match with colleagues after<br />
a day spent brainstorming.<br />
Rental fee: ¥19,000 (including tax and service fee)<br />
per two hours. Half price for guests staying at<br />
the hotel.<br />
YOUR OWN PRIVATE DINNER PARTY<br />
If you often travel to <strong>Tokyo</strong> but don’t have your<br />
own apartment in the city, then HOTEL the M<br />
INNSOMNIA akasaka makes an ideal place to entertain.<br />
You can rent out the “Kitchen Drinker”<br />
room, which includes modern cooking facilities<br />
with storage design by Germany company<br />
Bulthaup, and a dining table with seating for<br />
eight. It’s also available to rent for non-hotel<br />
guests who might want to hold cooking classes.<br />
Rental fee: ¥29,000 (including tax and service fee)<br />
per four hours. Half price for guests staying at<br />

“Muscle Pain,” which is open 24 hours a day and<br />
