Lifestyle capsule hotel “The Millennials Shibuya” – a future-oriented lodging experience
Opening in March 2018, The Millennials Shibuya is a next-generation lodging facility consisting of “smart pods,” which use IoT to create highly-functioning, entertaining accommodation based on the concept of “a future-oriented lodging experience.” While the Japanese minimalist concept of capsule hotels has attracted worldwide attention for years, the high-tech and additional features added by IoT at The Millennial Shibuya have made it stand out. The hotel has been featured in many domestic and international media outlets from traditional news sources like Kyodo News and Japan Today to viral YouTube videos. In addition to the Smart Pods, the hotel is also known for its well-designed common areas, including the lounge, workspace and self-service kitchen, that can be used freely 24 hours a day and take up 20% of the total hotel space, offering a hotel stay that matches the lifestyle of each guest.
“Heart in the Art – Eat to the Beat,” an event that touches on diversity
Located in the melting pot of Shibuya, The Millennials Shibuya welcomes a diverse range of guests from around the world. The multinational hotel staff respects and embodies the concepts of “diversity” and “freedom.”
This year’s event is a market-style cultural experience combining art, music and food, and will be held in the lobby lounge where guests and co-working visitors always hang out.
The staff, who regularly encounter millennial and Gen Z guests from around the world, invited five Tokyo-based millennial and Gen Z artists from Japan and abroad. A wide range of genres will be exhibited and sold, including traditional Japanese calligraphy and art incorporating innovative techniques. Each artist will have their own area where they will exhibit and sell their work. Depending on the artist, items for sale will range from small items such as stickers and postcards to apparel goods such as T-shirts and tote bags to paintings.
A renowned American chef will also sell original hamburgers limited to this event. A DJ from the U.S. will keep the energy up by playing music to match the space. The event is open to not only hotel guests, but also to the local community and those who are curious about the hotel.
Please enjoy this opportunity to experience the richness of The Millennial Shibuya’s culture and community, which embodies diversity and offers not only a lodging experience, but a chance to interact with people from around the world.
