  • I had wanted to visit the Simose Art Museum for a long time, and then I saw on TV that you can stay overnight. Since it was a great opportunity, I decided to stay and fully enjoy it, and this time I stayed here. The museum was wonderful and truly impressive, but the Room was even better than I had imagined. The staff were incredibly kind, the food was excellent, and I felt excited throughout my stay. The museum after closing hours was also beautiful, and from the bottom of my heart I’m glad I chose to stay overnight.

  • I finally had the chance to stay at the “world’s most beautiful museum,” which I’d been wanting to visit someday. Just as I’d hoped, the architecture was fascinating, and being able to admire the beautifully illuminated moving exhibition rooms at night is something you can truly enjoy only by staying overnight. Not only was the Room itself wonderful, but there were also many thoughtful touches in the amenities and in-room items that made me excited—Neal’s Yard amenities and the drinks in the refrigerator, for example—and I enjoyed every detail. Including the Shuttle Service, all of the staff were professional, and I had a very comfortable stay. The cuisine is French-style; it was gently seasoned and delicious. Personally, I wasn’t particularly interested in the museum’s exhibitions themselves, but that didn’t matter—I was still able to fully enjoy the extraordinary experience of “staying inside art.”
