Hotel Grèges — Hotel in Munakata

This hotel is located at Munakata, about an hour from Fukuoka, also close to Munakata Okinoshima, the UNESCO world cultural heritage site. It is a really special designer hotel with only 6 rooms, with an overall sensation of coming to a Mediterranean resort, overlooking the gorgeous ocean.||||Arriving at the entrance the staff came out to greet us and directed us to park at the reserved space, as the day is busy with a wedding going on, so there are a lot of visitor cars parked. After a short registration at the lobby, we were shown to our room, first going through the main corridor, which is beautifully decorated.||||I have reserved La Suite Blanche, which got an overall tone of light beige as its name implied. Once inside the room split, with the make-up room and toilet is on the right side, while the studio-style bedroom and sitting room is on the left.||||The room is certainly very nicely decorated, with the light color tone giving a pure and clean atmosphere, but not overly cold, probably because of the warm lighting as well as the bright sunlight seeping into the room through the windows on both sides. There is a writing table, a dining table, a sofa with coffee table, offering comfort, with coffee machine and the fridge stocked with different drinks which we are free to consume.||||The bed is certainly one of the most comfortable ones I have slept. On the side hidden with clever design is a wardrobe. Looking out the window on that side of the room I could see the chapel and the patio where the wedding function is carried out in front of the setting sun.||||Facing the bed is the glass door which leads to the huge balcony, and I am not exaggerating when I say huge. It can easily accommodate 30-40 people, with sunbed and table, so us to enjoy the phenomenal sea view as well as the bright stars in the evening. The only issue I have, of course, is that there is only two of us and effectively one can climb over the low wall to the adjacent room.||||At the side of the balcony is the jacuzzi, with a big bath equipped with water jets. Although the location is not an onsen area, the facility allowed the guests to enjoy a good private time.||||Before dinner we decided to walk around the hotel to check out the good spots. The hotel has a long limousine which can be rented to receive the guests, and also served as a spot for us to take photos.||||Then walking further there is the beautiful garden with a heart-shaped dome and bell. We playfully went to ring the bell a couple of times. And I can imagine this place would feature in a lot of the wedding photos for the newly wed.||||After returning to the room and freshen up, we went to the private room for our dinner. In the evening there were only three guests including us and as the other guest only came to the dining room fairly late, we have the whole area for our dinner. The room is again facing the setting sun which is amazing.||||The dinner was truly memorable, I have opened a bottle of 1995 Meursault which is showing good development characters, but still lively. The different courses are all wonderfully prepared, with each single course a true treat on palate and sight. It also made me wonder how they could manage with only us taking the dinner...||||Apart from the food, the services are also impeccable.The maitre d' had helped us take photos, showing us outside the dining room and introduced all the different courses to his best. His English is good and helping us to understand what we were enjoying, and unfortunately the menu was not provided and I simply don't have time to write it down.||||There are a total of 8 courses which at the end we were so full and satisfied, and on this French cuisine alone it was already worth coming over for the meal in my opinion.||||On the next day we woke up early and then went to the cafe to enjoy our breakfast. Unlike the dining room the night before, this time we had our meal at their 'restaurant', but still it was only the two of us in the whole setting.||||The western style breakfast is tasty and nice, with fresh salad, sausage and egg, plus good coffee. The freshly baked pastry is another highlight of the breakfast, and I finished all three of them in no time. It was a good starter on the day.||||The overall experience for me on this visit is really exceptional, from both the comfort, the facilities and setup, and services, the food, everything I would give a high mark. The price is high at 105,856 yen for two but I would still say it is good value for money.||||My rating is 8.8/10, one of the highest I have...

窓を開けると、心地よい海風。 宗像市に建つ白亜のホテル、オテルグレージュ。 数回、ホテルのシグネチャーレストラン、ロルキデブランシュに伺った事はありますが、宿泊は、初回です。 あいにくの小雨でしたが、翌朝は、なんとか晴れ。お部屋の眼前に広がる海をデッキから一望できました。晴天の日は、どれほど素晴らしい眺めだろうか、と、次回は、週間天気予報を確認して、予定を取ろうと思います。

雨でも、楽しめるように、なのか、TVが充実していて、Hulu、U-NEXT、Netflix、YouTube、と、映画もドラマも、見放題。 シャンパン🍾や、ワインを買い込み、お部屋に閉じこもるのも、一つの楽しみ方。

お風呂は、ジャグジーがついていていました。

リネン、寝心地良いベッド、ふわふわスリッパ、消毒済みのカップグラス、コーヒーマシン、冷蔵庫いっぱいのサービスドリンクなど、滞在をサポートするグッズは、揃っています。

朝食は、コロナ禍より、全てお部屋でとるようにされたそうです。
