Some
people love books, while other get put to sleep by them. Book and Bed
Tokyo, a bookstore-themed hotel located on the seventh floor of a
high-rise in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro neighborhood that opens its doors on
November 5th, is perfect for both. Designed by Makoto Tanijiri and Ai
Yoshida of Suppose Design Office, it promises to be the best place to
curl up with a good book and fall asleep.
The
‘Compact’ compartment measures 205 x 85 centimeters (80.7 x 33.5
inches), and the ‘Standard’ is 205 x 129 centimeters (80.7 x 50.8
inches); the price per evening can be 3,800 to 6,000 yen (US$32 to $50),
depending on the size of accommodations. On opening day, there will be
1,700 English and Japanese language books available, but the hotel plans
to eventually expand its library to 3,000.
Traveling bookworms will soon have a new place to stay in Tokyo.
The Book and Bed has 1,700 English and Japanese Language books.
Bookshelf-beds provide an interesting place to sleep.
The compartments are small, but the price is right for such a prime location!
Eventually, there will be over 3000 books.
