Tranquil Escapes: Discovering Serenity with kodō hotel’s Elemental Rooms

In the heart of Los Angeles’ Arts District lies the perfect getaway scene, kodō hotel. This boutique hotel offers an escape from the hustle and chaos of Los Angeles by providing an escape into a transformed space of peace and serenity.

The century-old firehouse was transformed into an urban oasis by M Royce Architecture, and the interior space was designed by GrySpace. These two teams worked together to immerse guests into the Japanese living experience. The rooms are minimalist and sophisticated, and different textures of stone and wood are combined to ensure a harmonious retreat.

These thoughtfully designed rooms in the kodō hotel are inspired by natural elements and provide guests with a luxurious, yet peaceful, haven in the heart of Los Angeles. They offer 8 rooms, each named according to a different natural element. The design of each room reflects the element it is inspired by. Guests have the opportunity to choose from rooms: Momiji – Maple, Izumi – Water, Koke – Moss, Sora – Sky, Kaze – Wind, Tsuki – Moon, or Sumi – Charcoal.

Each room is named and designed to encapsulate a different element. Room 1 is the Momiji (Maple) room where the presence of a Japanese maple tree is meant to provide a clear and bright ambience juxtaposed with the busy city life below. Izumi (Water) is room 2 where the fluidity of water is represented through the design of the room and creates a refreshing feeling. The next room is the Koke (Moss) room, a simply decorated room to produce a quiet and peaceful tranquility. Room 4 is the Sora (Sky) room which is meant to replicate the openness and calmness of the sky by having a spacious layout adorned with large windows. The Kaze (Wind) room is the next room, a spacious setup with minimal decor creates an open and clean space that replicates the feeling of a cool breeze sweeping by. Next room is the Iwa (Rock) room, this room is supposed to reflect the strength and stillness of a rock by its solid comfort. Feel the tranquility of the moon by staying in the Tsuki (Moon) room which is meant to make one feel soothed the same way moonlight does. Lastly, the Sumi (Charcoal) room encapsulates the deep and rich tones of charcoal by using an understated elegant design making one feel calm and grounded.

The hotel is heavily influenced by Japanese culture, such as the beds and tables in the rooms being low like in a traditional Japanese home. Some design elements, such as the room plaques are directly sourced from Japan to feed into the authenticity. There are also authentic Japanese snacks and beverages in every room for a quick bite. All the other design elements, such as the concrete sinks were made by local LA artists.
