Music, being formless and intangible, can affect us unknowingly.
In other words, we can use great music that is carefully written and curated to enrich our daily lives on a subconscious level.
There is rarely a moment of absolute silence in our busy lives.
If you take a moment to really listen, you will hear many kinds of sounds and noises.
Because we are always surrounded by some noise, we at Nikko Style Nagoya, thought to orchestrate what our guests hear to create a comfortable space and inspire something new in their lives.
With that in mind, we have carefully compiled a wide variety of music.
Carefully curated -at times, using computer algorithms- specifically for Nikko Style Nagoya. A specially programmed 24 hour loop to avoid the feeling of repetitiveness. We have chosen specific songs reflecting the time of day. Songs for the mornings, and songs for the evenings. Guests may not even notice, because it is such an organic part of our hotel.
Primarily on the weekends, we will host specially chosen DJs from the local Nagoya area, as well as all over Japan,
-all a concierge of music-. Just as a massage stimulates and relaxes the body, these DJs will bring music to manipulate the air, creating a relaxing atmosphere. We aspire to become the new stage for lounge music.
Our desire is to help our guests discover their new lifestyle with our music, which permeates the hotel.
