✳️ Brand Introduction | CROSS Life by ORIX Hotels & Resorts

CROSS Life is a next-generation lifestyle brand under Japan's ORIX Hotels & Resorts.

It's based on the concepts of "Cross" and "Life."

The brand encourages travelers to go beyond accommodation and immerse themselves in the rhythm of local life.

Each CROSS Life property incorporates three key characteristics: "Local Connection," "Design," and "Flexibility":

• 🏙️ Local Connection: Located in the heart of the city's vibrant life, surrounded by markets, cafes, and cultural and creative shops. • 🛋️ Design and Living: Simple lines and natural materials create a warm and relaxing space.
• ☕ Flexibility: Self-service check-in, laundry services, and an open social area are ideal for independent travelers.

Currently, the brand has locations in Yanagibashi, Fukuoka, Kawaramachi, Kyoto, and Naha, with continued expansion planned.

🏠 Hotel Unboxing

The rooms maintain the brand's style, featuring clean, bright, and warm wood accents.

The mattress offers excellent support, with adjustable pillow heights. The bathroom has separate wet and dry areas, and the amenities are from Japanese fragrance brands, ensuring a fresh scent.

My favorite part is the quiet comfort. The mattress is comfortable, and the lighting and layout are well-designed.

It feels like life and travel blend naturally here. 🌿
