Art Lover's Paradise
Minimalist design, contemporary cool, modernist chic. This hotel/museum fuses nature and art together with its striking architecture and artwork dotted all over the secluded Benesse House complex. Sculptures, installations and paintings are dispersed throughout the hotel; in bedrooms, on the grounds, and in the main galleries.
With just 11 guest rooms and suites, most of which offer an expansive view of the stunning, Seto Inland Sea, guests can enjoy the natural beauty and remote setting of this luxury complex. Four different buildings are centred around the museum, each with its individual style and distinctive suites.
Benesse House Hotel is ideally located in the heart of a buzzing, developing art scene, on Naoshima island. Numerous art projects, programs and exhibitions are fast emerging and can be easily visited during your visit. Hotel guests can also enjoy exclusive, after-hours access to the Benesse House museum.
After a day of exploring the island, or the surrounding islands for that matter, relax in the spa and wine and dine in one of their excellent on-site restaurants, each offering fresh, local produce and fine cuisine.

Places to combine Benesse House Hotel with
Vietnam
La Siesta Premium Hang Be Hotel stands as a graceful symbol of Hanoi’s rich history and evolving modernity. Located in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the hotel’s striking white façade overlooks Hang Be Street, once a bustling hub for trading be or wooden boats. Today, this street pulses with life, offering a tapestry of cafés, artisan shops, restaurants and traditional market stalls.
Inside the hotel, La Siesta Premium Hang Be is a sanctuary of elegance. The interior exudes a calm sophistication, with a neutral colour palette of soft creams and warm accents, enhanced by thoughtful lighting that creates a serene atmosphere. Polished wood, elegant period furnishings and traditional motifs offer a sense of heritage, while modern touches ensure comfort and luxury at every turn. Each room is designed with comfort and tranquillity in mind, featuring plush furnishings, elegant décor and modern amenities to make guests feel at home.
For a truly memorable dining experience, ascend to Cloud Nine, the hotel’s restaurant. Situated on the 9th floor and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, Cloud Nine offers panoramic views that sweep across Hanoi’s storied rooftops, the shimmering Hoan Kiem Lake and the serene Red River. The restaurant’s name, inspired by the phrase “on cloud nine,” encapsulates the bliss you’ll feel as you gaze out over the city and savour exquisitely prepared dishes. Sunlight floods the space during the day, while in the evening, the city’s lights twinkle beneath you, enhancing the sense of floating above Hanoi’s streets.
For guests who prefer dining in privacy, the hotel’s in-room dining service brings the best of Cloud Nine’s menu to your door, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of your own space. Meanwhile, the hotel’s La Spa offers a serene retreat where you can rejuvenate body and mind with a range of luxurious treatments.
