The hotel is a 16-story narrow building standing along Showa Street, and it is a minute walk from Ginza 1-chome Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line.

It is open as a bar at night.

As the name implies, the concept of this hotel is “town square” where tourists and locals can share the same space together. Therefore, the cafe is like a square that allows everyone to interact with each other.

The front desk/lobby was modern and simple.
