Sitting on the Harajuku corner of Shibuya, Hotel Koe is much more than just a hotel. It’s also an art hub, a live music space, a bar, café, restaurant, co-working hub and retail store. It was founded by the apparel company Stripe, which is why it’s practically overflowing with street-style cool. The hotel features 10 rooms in total, of different sizes ranging from S to XL, each of them designed with an appreciation for elegant minimalism. Keep an eye out when visiting, though, as this place is full of surprises. One particular surprise is the check-in desk, which some nights transforms into a DJ booth manned by Masaya Kuroki of fashion and music label Maison Kitsuné.
Breakfast was very overpriced compared to eating outside of the hotel. The price of a cup of coffee was particularly high almost as much as a portion of food.
