THE GATE HOTEL YOKOHAMA by HULIC

This hotel project is located in a place that could be called the face of Yokohama, where buildings that strongly represent the history and culture of Yokohama line the streets, Yamashita Park facing the harbor, and Ginkgo-lined Park Avenue are lined up.
The exterior of the building is based on a three-story structure consisting of a low, middle and top floor, which evokes the dignity of a hotel and the history of Yokohama. The low floors are aligned with the lines of the street, the middle floors use horizontal ribs to create rhythm, the corners of the building are gently curved, and the top floor is light and eye-catching, aiming to blend naturally with the adjacent historic buildings.
Furthermore, based on the concept of "wearing the air of port town Yamashita," which incorporates the atmosphere of this location, which has developed as the center of Yokohama since the port opened, the hotel has been designed so that guests can feel the port town atmosphere with their whole body, with a "land terrace" that faces Yamashita Park and connects to the restaurant interior, a U-shaped "sea terrace" facing the 4m-high front bar lounge, and a "sky terrace" with a rooftop garden. These "three terraces with different atmospheres" are planned to allow guests to enjoy views of Yokohama, such as Yamashita Park, Yokohama Port, and Minato Mirai, from each location.
