NOT A HOTEL, a pioneering Japanese company, has joined forces with renowned designer and creative visionary NIGO to revolutionize the concept of timeshares. With a range of properties across Japan, each designed by exceptional creatives, NOT A HOTEL is setting a new standard for shared holiday homes with its emphasis on innovative design and impeccable attention to detail.

The Creative Force of NIGO

NIGO, the multi-talented designer known for his work in fashion, music, and art, was brought on board to curate NOT A HOTEL’s first Tokyo location, unveiled in 2024. Tasked with overseeing every aspect of the project, from the overarching concept to the smallest details, NIGO has infused the space with his unique perspective and creative vision.

The NOT A HOTEL Tokyo Experience: A Blend of Modernity, Vintage Charm, and Japanese Heritage

The Tokyo property, perched dramatically on a cliffside, artfully blends modern and vintage design elements with touches of Japanese heritage. The space includes an array of captivating features, such as futuristic sleeping pods, infinity pools, a nostalgic listening room, and a traditional Japanese tea room. The crowning jewel of the property is a giant KAWS statue that adorns the roof, creating a truly one-of-a-kind living space for guests to enjoy as their shared holiday home.

Redefining the Timeshare Concept

While timeshares have been a staple of the holiday home industry since their inception in the French Alps during the 1960s, NOT A HOTEL is redefining the concept by infusing it with unparalleled creativity and care. By collaborating with visionaries like NIGO, NOT A HOTEL is creating unique, bespoke spaces that elevate the timeshare experience and redefine what shared holiday homes can be.

NOT A HOTEL’s flow with NIGO represents a groundbreaking approach to timeshares, setting a new standard for the industry through its commitment to exceptional design and attention to detail. With properties like the Tokyo location, NOT A HOTEL is transforming the way we think about shared holiday homes and offering guests an unforgettable experience that is truly not just another hotel.
