On June 20, 2024, Hoshino Resorts opened "Hoshino Resorts 1955 Tokyo Bay," their first resort in the Maihama-Shin-Urayasu area of Chiba Prefecture. With a total of 638 guest rooms, offering various room types with occupancy capacities of 2 to 6 people, the resort's concept design is inspired by the American worldview of around 1955, the year the world's first Disneyland was established, aiming to provide a convenient and comfortable stay for guests staying with the purpose of visiting Tokyo Disney Resort®.

Our company has been involved in creating spaces for numerous brands developed by the company, including "Hoshinoya," "Kai," and "OMO," and we participated in this facility from the conceptual stage. We were comprehensively responsible for everything from formulating the spatial concept that forms the core of the branding, to art direction, design, layout, construction.

Facility concept: "OLDIES GOODIES"
The 1950s in America saw the development of a unique culture, and 1955 in particular marked the opening of the world's first Disneyland. Based on the concept of "OLDIES GOODIES," the interior concept design expresses the American worldview of that era. The furniture, furnishings, and colors recreate the atmosphere of that time, allowing you to enjoy a one-of-a-kind world. It's like being in an area of a theme park, and even after leaving the theme park, you can linger in the afterglow and be immersed in an extraordinary world.

Main Areas

A classical lobby reminiscent of the mid-century.
The lobby concept design classic design reminiscent of the mid-century, with deep green and wood tones. Classic wired glass panels are fitted above the movable windows. The 15 unmanned check-in counters have classic poster signs on the walls and pendant lights with numbers to enhance the visibility of the counter numbers.

The lounge area and restaurant have different atmospheres depending on the time of day.
At the back of the lobby, a dining table set featuring various types of wood and shapes, sourced from the US and reminiscent of American dining tables of that era, is installed. The large, classic-concept design light fixtures above the tables were custom-made. Three large paintings on the lobby wall, themed after America in 1955 and designed to evoke the feeling of a longer stay, create a space that changes with the time of day. At night, they serve as a photo spot, and in the morning, the three paintings slide open, revealing the restaurant. The restaurant, which serves as the breakfast venue, is decorated in colors that highlight the refreshing impression of the morning sun, and the ceiling is painted in a pale orange color reminiscent of the Grand Canyon in California.

Another Room 2nd Room
This public space is available for all guests to use freely 24 hours a day, even before check-in and after check-out. Music reminiscent of America circa 1955 plays in the background, creating an impressive space with mid-century interior decor and colors that were popular at the time. In the center space, guests can take off their shoes and relax. There is also a sleeping space that is perfect for getting ready, and a semi-private space where guests can bring their own tea and alcohol. The furnishings and furniture were purchased from America*, and the unique upholstery and other elements allow guests to experience the era visually and tactilely.

Guest rooms designed to evoke America around 1955.
The wallpaper, carpets, and sofas feature a bold combination of muted colors reminiscent of America around 1955, allowing guests to experience this atmosphere even in their rooms (with the exception of some rooms). Guests can remove their shoes in all rooms and choose a room type that suits their companions and preferences. For example, the Superior Family room has bunk beds, while the Superior room with a reclining bed has a reclining bed placed by the window with a good view.

*The furniture we purchase is repaired and reused. Some pieces are brand new.


Project Manager
As this facility falls under the "Other Unique Accommodations" category in Hoshino Resorts' brand categories, we placed great importance on expressing "individuality." Achieving design, layout that differentiates it from surrounding hotels while pursuing comfort and convenience for guests was a challenging project. We are all very pleased that our members' imagination and creativity contributed to the planning of the 2nd Room and the creation of the branding that evokes America around 1955.
