■ About SABLIER by R HOTEL
"SABLIER" means "hourglass" in French. This hotel was born to offer a slow and tranquil time, like the quiet descent of sand in an hourglass, distanced from the hustle and bustle of the city. The interior design draws inspiration from the landscapes of the Moroccan desert. Soft curves, calm earth tones, and a spatial composition that evokes a sense of tranquility create a peaceful stay away from everyday life. Furthermore, by layering the theme of "cinema," an art form of time, onto this, we have shaped this hotel as a place to gently unfold one's sensibilities, rather than just a place to sleep. As soon as you step into your room, you will be greeted by a sophisticated space where the silence of the desert and modern beauty coexist. It is a hotel where you can immerse yourself in your own time while being in an extraordinary setting.

■ All Rooms Equipped with 4K Projectors. Guest Rooms Become Private Theaters
SABLIER's biggest feature is the overwhelming visual experience provided by large screens in every room. In collaboration with JMGO, a highly-acclaimed projector manufacturer that consistently wins the Home Theater Award, all guest rooms are equipped with the laser 4K projector "N1S 4K". You can enjoy various video streaming services and television broadcasts on a large screen. With a maximum 100-inch screen and high-fidelity audio equipment, your room transforms into a private theater. Spend a special moment enveloped in the magic of movies, forgetting the passage of time in a serene space.
