Guntû, Seto Inland Sea, Japan

Guntû is described as a ‘little hotel floating in the Seto Inland sea’. This endearing description is fitting, with its subtly designed premises catering to just 38 guests at any one time. Yasushi Horibe has designed a beautifully relaxing mobile hospitality experience. Guests can wind down in an understated environment, treading the timber floors barefoot.
