ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kobe (located in Chuo-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture) will offer the "SWEET x SWEETS LOVE Tea Set — The Lounge × DARVISH GALLERY —" from February 7 (Saturday) to February 19 (Thursday), 2026, at The Lounge tea lounge on the 4th floor. This initiative marks a collaboration with DARVISH GALLERY, which newly opened on the hotel's 4th floor in January 2026, presenting a Valentine's limited special featuring art and sweets fused around the theme of "love." Enjoy exquisite sweets alongside art pieces displayed in the lounge space—a special teatime that appeals not only to taste but also to sight and sensibility.
Encountering Art in a Relaxed Setting, Not Just Viewing It
The Lounge tea lounge, serving as the venue, will exhibit art pieces selected around the theme of "love" in celebration of Valentine's Day. Works based on red hues and expressions that gently accompany emotions blend with the lounge atmosphere, softly coloring the entire space. Rather than "going to view art," guests naturally encounter art while enjoying coffee and sweets. The comfortable distance unique to hotel lounges creates an accessible composition for those unfamiliar with art.
Art Selection Curated Around the Theme of "Love"
The art pieces exhibited in this initiative are selected from DARVISH GALLERY's collection around the theme of "love" in celebration of Valentine's Day. Western antique glass, decorative arts, and Persian rugs that have been passed down through time from different cultures and historical backgrounds are quietly arranged in the lounge space, united by the common emotions of "giving feelings" and "layering hearts."
Works featuring red-based colors, designs with flowers and decorations as motifs, and expressions conveying the warmth of handwork gently accompany viewers' memories and emotions, enriching the time spent savoring sweets. Explanation cards are provided for the exhibited pieces, allowing even those unfamiliar with art to naturally enjoy them from the sensation of "beautiful" or "attractive."
