KUMU Kanazawa by The Share Hotels
Kamitsutsumicho, Japan
KUMU gives a former office building a fresh life through exposed concrete, timber grids and thoughtful Japanese details. Tea is part of the experience, from the ground-floor salon to shared spaces upstairs, with locally made tableware adding a connection to the city's craftspeople. Rooms include Japanese-style layouts and options suited to friends or families. It is a good choice for travellers who enjoy contemporary design and informal communal spaces while keeping the castle, market and central streets within easy reach.
