Hotel Micuras
CONCEPT
Together with the first seismic retrofit since this hot spring accommodation was constructed 40 years ago, the Hotel Micuras was revamped to a resort hotel that offers commodities, designs and services for the modern visitor. It also offers comfortable and cozy spaces that are not too familiar, yet not too unusual, and exist as an extension of one’s daily life. The facade accentuates the vertical design to stand out among the other apartment buildings in the area, and presents itself as the face of Atami sightseeing.
