Don't just look at the view. Experience the spectacular view. Hotel Settore Kobe Maiko First complete renewal since opening

HORONIC Corporation (Head office: Higashinada-ku, Kobe; Representative Director: Ichiro Osada), which operates community-based hotels mainly in the Kansai region, announces that Hotel Setre Kobe Maiko (Tarumi Ward, Kobe), which overlooks the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, the second longest suspension bridge in the world, will undergo a complete renovation for the first time since its opening in 2005. The hotel will undergo a complete renovation for the first time since its opening in 2005, and will reopen on March 6, 2026 (Friday).

This renovation is the second project in a five-year, large-scale renovation plan that will begin in 2025. The concept of the renewal project is to "make the best view into an experience. the entire hotel, from guest rooms to the garden, chapel, dinner hall, and lobby, has been reconstructed as a single "place of experience. Wherever you are in the hotel, the scenery naturally comes into view and you can feel the flow of time. The more you stay at the hotel, the more you will feel your heart relax.

Background of the renewal

Bringing the "power of the scenery" to the heart of the value of your stay

Hotel Setre Kobe Maiko is uniquely located with the sea and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge stretching out before its eyes, but until now the hotel experience has been limited to the "added value" of an "ocean view.

The first project, the "YURURI" guestrooms, which were created in 2025, and the "Superlative Do Nothing Plan: Happiness of Doing Nothing," proposed a stay in which "doing nothing" itself becomes a value. This plan received a great response and a solid response. In this second phase, we have extended the concept to the entire hotel. We will reevaluate the "power of the scenery" of this place and sublimate it into a stay experience where you can feel the flow of time and relax your mind.

Renewal Concept

Experience the spectacular view.

The sea and sky spread out before your eyes. The Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge changing its expression from moment to moment.

We have redefined the scenery of this place as an experience to be savored naturally during your stay, rather than just something to be gazed at.

No matter where you are in the hotel, you can look out and see the scenery and feel the passage of time.

Tranquility, warmth, and space. The longer you stay, the more your mind relaxes in the midst of this otherworldly environment. The entire hotel is designed to be a single experience.

Three points of the renewal

(1)Evolution of the value of the "Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge View" experience, with a view of the world's second longest suspension bridge

Awaji Island and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge stretch out before your eyes, a location unique to Hotel Settore Kobe Maiko. The renewal of the hotel has enhanced this spectacular view to an experience that can be enjoyed to the fullest in every guest room.

On a fine day, guests can enjoy a 180-degree panoramic view of both the sunrise and sunset, and at night, the illuminated Akashi Kaikyo Bridge comes to life in a magical way. The view, which changes its expression at different times of the day, enriches the stay itself.

(2) Room design that allows you to enjoy a spectacular view "anywhere" in the room

In the guest rooms, the layout of beds, sofas, desks, and other furniture has been reviewed to create a spatial design that allows guests to naturally see the outside view from anywhere in the room. When you wake up or relax, you can look up and see the ocean and bridges stretching out before your eyes. The room is redefined as a room for spending time with the view, rather than a room for watching.

(3) "Spending time in fullness" to savor the view

In the garden, enjoy the sunset with a drink in hand, or spend quiet time in the lounge with a book. We have also enhanced the contents of your stay with local drinks and snacks.

We also provide binoculars to enjoy the view of the boats passing by on the ocean and Awaji Island beyond, as well as cushions to relax and enjoy your stay. We offer not only a "view" of the scenery, but also a stay experience that can be savored with all five senses and relax your mind and soul.

A place to mark time while feeling the sea, the sky, and the wind.

Morning light, dusk, the quietness of the night, and the lights. It is an outdoor "another place to stay" to savor the scenery that changes its expression at different times of the day during your stay.

Renewal 03｜Chapel

Unchanged even after 100 years

The view and your vows will remain the same even after 100 years.

Renewal 05｜Lobby/Others

The experience begins the moment you step into the room.

The overwhelming scale of the scenery that awaits you as soon as you step into the room. The "stay begins with the view" before you even check in.

The journey from the entrance to the guest room itself leads to an experience that fills the heart.

The best dinner and morning meals using Hyogo ingredients

In both morning and dinner, we carefully select ingredients mainly from Hyogo Prefecture. The staff have visited and met with the producers of these ingredients, and will offer special dishes that can only be enjoyed here, making the most of the seasonal "specialties" nurtured by the rich mountains, land, and sea.

Along with the renewal of the hotel, the morning and dinner menus will also be renewed. Breakfast will be based on the new concept of "breakfast by the sea that awakens your body," and will be served in the quiet morning hours with a view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the sea, and Awaji Island, creating a moment of gentle contentment. Dinner has also evolved to reflect the seasonal blessings and charm of the region. The restaurant overlooks the illuminated Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, offering a "special evening experience" to be enjoyed with the scenery. Along with the renewal of the space, the dining experience has also been reborn, allowing guests to enjoy a stay with a deeper appreciation of both the morning and evening hours.

Hotel Setre Kobe Maiko Comment from the person in charge

The Hotel Setre Kobe Maiko has recently undergone renovations to further deepen the "connection with the local community" and "value that can only be found here" that we have valued to date.

The renovation was not limited to simply updating the facilities, but aimed to create a space where visitors can step away from their daily routines and enjoy a richer experience during their stay, where they can face themselves and their loved ones. We have focused on the "quality of stay" in every detail, including the selection of materials, the margins of the space, and the way light and scenery are captured. We have also incorporated elements of the local culture and climate throughout the hotel so that guests can rediscover the charm of the region. We hope that your time spent at the Settore will not only be a memorable trip, but also an experience that will stay in your heart.

We look forward to welcoming you to the newly reborn Hotel CETRAY.
