"A ski resort near Nagano may sound like an unlikely spot for a hotel dedicated to a Danish modernist architect, but there’s a longstanding relationship between the two. The furniture company Onecollection produces Finn Juhl’s designs in Japanese workshops, and its cofounders seized a chance opportunity to snap up an old ski lodge in Hakuba and reimagine it in his name. The result is a sleek six-room boutique hotel, House of Finn Juhl, with a striking blend of Japanese and Scandinavian elements. Suites are named after Juhl’s signature pieces — the Chieftain Chair, the Poet Sofa, and so on — and though each is unique, all are minimalist and cozy with futuristic lighting systems, organic bath products, and soft damask linens by Georg Jensen. An elegant bar and lounge face views of the Japanese Alps." - Tablet Hotels
