Gotta catch some Zs! Pok\u00e9mon fans have a chance to sleep like a Snorlax inside an immersive hotel shaped like a Pok\u00e9 Ball.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beloved media franchise, luxury Japanese hospitality brand NOT A HOTEL teamed up with the creative forces behind Pok\u00e9mon to bring a truly unique lodging experience to life.<\/p>\n\n

Just like the creatures, guests who stay at this Tomakomai City, Hokkaido, accommodation will spend the night inside a ball-shaped structure, inspired by the devices used to catch, transport and store wild or trained Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n
The roughly 10-foot round hotel is situated on the shores of a lake. The interior includes a circular bed, air conditioning, a circular monitor displaying images of Pok\u00e9mon and a large, curved acrylic window that allows guests to gaze upon the natural scenery of Hokkaido.<\/p>\n
The Pok\u00e9 Ball also includes a number of nods and references to fan-favorite Pok\u00e9mon, like colored tiles in the adjacent bathroom inspired by Snorlax \u2014 a Pok\u00e9mon known for sleeping constantly and eating large quantities of food.<\/p>\n\n

Another exciting feature comes directly from NOT A HOTEL’s smart home team. Guests are able to select their favorite Pok\u00e9mon on an iPad installed in the room, and the interior lighting effects will change to match the creature of their choosing.<\/p>\n\n

The collaboration also marks the third anniversary of Pok\u00e9mon Sleep, a mobile game that allows users to track and record sleep simply by placing a smart device on a pillow. When users wake up, they are greeted by Pok\u00e9mon who share similar sleep styles.<\/p>\n\n
