AYA Niseko
Kutchan, Hokkaido, Japan · Independent · Accessible Luxury
AYA Niseko opened in December 2016 as a 79-room condominium hotel at the base of the Ace Family lift in Grand Hirafu, operated by Tokyu Resorts & Stays. The design riffs on AYA-ori, a traditional Japanese weaving pattern, and some apartments add geothermal baths, so the building reads as a textile as much as a ski lodge.
