A Poké Ball-shaped hotel is coming to Hokkaido this September, the result of a new collaboration between NOT A HOTEL and the sleep game app Pokémon Sleep, called the Poké Ball-Themed Hotel.
Just as a Poké Ball is a comfortable place for Pokémon, the project aims to create a space where people, too, can experience comfortable sleep and relaxation. Using NOT A HOTEL's signature architecture and technology, the Poké Ball motif has been brought to life as a space guests can actually stay in.
A Poké Ball-shaped hotel will rise amid Hokkaido's vast natural surroundings. What kind of space awaits inside, and what kind of night will guests experience there? The full details of the Poké Ball-Themed Hotel are scheduled to be revealed on September 15 (Tuesday).

About Pokémon Sleep
Available since July 2023, Pokémon Sleep is a sleep game app that makes waking up something to look forward to. Using a smartphone, players can measure, record, and analyze their sleep to collect the sleeping faces of Pokémon. As users log their sleep, Pokémon with similar sleep patterns gather around Snorlax. By keeping a steady sleep rhythm, players can discover a variety of Pokémon sleeping faces. Since 2024, the app has also supported syncing with data measured by smartwatches.
