A noteworthy hotel adjacent to Umekoji Park that opened last fall. The name “potel” is a combination of the words “port” and “hotel”, and represents a place where encounters come and go like a harbor, and the desire to connect the edge by adding a circle. There are many ways to not only stay comfortably, but also enjoy your time at the hotel, such as the Awai Room. Facilities such as cafes and multi-purpose spaces, as well as Umekoji Yokocho, an annex, are popular with local residents, and are a place where guests can interact with each other.
