The brand’s signature “Sleep Advantage” program is implemented throughout the hotel, offering amenities such as aromatherapy mist, herbal tea, warming eye masks, and a pillow menu to enhance sleep quality. Quiet-zone considerations are also incorporated to help guests rest well after a full day of exploring or business engagements.

The hotel offers multiple dining options spanning Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, including Japanese restaurant Unkai, French dining Rose Room, Sichuan cuisine Shokko, teppanyaki restaurant Nijo, café restaurant Cozy, and the tea & cocktail lounge Cotolounge. Breakfast is served mainly at the café restaurant in a Japanese-Western buffet format, featuring grilled fish, rice and miso soup, egg dishes, bread, salads, and more.
