Setouchi Aonagi, also Setouchi Retreat Aonagi (瀬戸内リトリート青凪), is a Japanese hotel based in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It was opened in winter 2015. The building was designed by Tadao Ando, a Japanese architect, in the final years of the Japan bubble era.[1] The hotel was originally designed as a museum.[2]
Design
There are 2 buildings in the hotel.
Most of the space is now utilised as hotel rooms. There are 7 rooms in the hotel - the smallest room is 106.2 m2 and the largest is 169.6 m2.[3]
There are 2 pools in the hotel. One of these is a rooftop infinity pool facing the Seto Inland Sea. The rooftop pool was designed as a concrete-framed lap pool by Tadao Ando[4]
Since the buildings were a museum before, it also has art galleries and many art pieces. The dining room is also built into one of the art galleries and faces a Japanese garden.
Management
The hotel is now managed by a Japanese hotel management company, onkochishin. inc（株式会社温故知新）.
