Read moreLuxury hotels that have successfully branded themselves as destinations are few and far between, and "Hoshinoya," under the Hoshino Resorts Group, is undoubtedly one of them. Renowned for its premier Japanese resort experiences, Hoshinoya is not only expensive but also features limited room numbers, making reservations quite challenging. It stands on par with industry giants like Aman, and for every hotel enthusiast, each Hoshinoya is a must-visit on their lifetime list.||The presence of Hoshinoya can be found across Japan's scenic landscapes, from the serene Karuizawa to the ancient Kyoto, from the majestic foot of Mount Fuji to the bustling heart of Tokyo, and even to the tranquil Guan and the sunny Okinawa. Each location carries its own culture and story. With the opening of Hoshinoya Tokyo, the brand has finally stepped beyond Japan, choosing Bali as the site for its first international debut. "Hoshinoya Bali" presents yet another perfect blend of local charm and Japanese aesthetics.||Globally, Hoshinoya has opened eight branches.

The absence of a gym is a deliberate choice to encourage guests to rejuvenate in the natural environment. Moreover, the East Asian cuisine provided by Hoshinoya offers a taste of home in the culinary desert of Bali, leaving guests feeling that even after a two or three-night stay, there is still much more to experience.||Just as the beauty of life lies in retrospection and the allure of movies in their subtlety, the appeal of a hotel is in the deep experiences it provides to travelers. Hoshinoya is such a memorable brand, with both design and service that are thought-provoking, easily prompting a desire for return visits.
