With the Style

Top choice in Fukuoka


It's anyone's guess what the name means, but 'style' is indeed the byword at this sleek designer hotel. You could easily imagine yourself poolside in Hollywood around the fountain courtyard. Each of the 16 rooms exude rock-star cool, all include breakfast, minibar and welcome drinks, and guests can reserve complimentary private use of the rooftop spa or penthouse bar.

With a steakhouse, bar and lounge spaces and even a movie hall, there's something to see around every turn. It's behind a palmy street front a seven-minute walk from Hakata Station.
