ARTISTS
Collaboration with talented artists around the world
A variety of artists gathered for ENSO ANGO
We chose to work with Uchida design Inc., who specialize in innovative hotel form and function (Its founder, Shigeru Uchida designed Hotel Il Palazzo and The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon amongst others), and a broad team of designers and artists bringing a different flavor to each of the five buildings. From the furniture and decor to the sacred Japanese Chozu at the entrance of the hotel buildings, each hotel building has been created with contributions from artists who display their work inside our hotels.
