"SABLIER by R HOTEL", a New Concept Hotel Themed Around a "Timeless Sand Cinema", Scheduled to Open in Sakuragawa, Osaka on May 1, 2026

R Hotels & Resorts Management (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yixuan Bao) plans to open "SABLIER by R HOTEL," a new hotel brand under R HOTEL, in Sakuragawa, near Namba, Osaka, on May 1, 2026. Prior to the opening, reservations for stays have begun today, Friday, April 3.

"SABLIER by R HOTEL" is a new brand hotel that proposes an unprecedented accommodation experience. Under the concept of a "timeless sand cinema," guests are enveloped in the tranquility of a desert and the lingering resonance of movies.

## About SABLIER by R HOTEL
"SABLIER" means "hourglass" in French.
This hotel was born to offer a slow and peaceful time, distancing guests slightly from the hustle and bustle of the city, much like the sand quietly falling in an hourglass.

The interior design is inspired by the landscape of the Moroccan desert. Soft curves, calm earth tones, and a spatial composition that evokes silence create a serene stay slightly detached from everyday life.
Furthermore, by layering the theme of "movies"—which can be considered temporal art—onto this space, we have shaped this hotel not merely as a place to sleep, but as a place to slowly unravel one's sensibilities.

Stepping into a guest room reveals a sophisticated space where the silence of the desert and modern beauty coexist. It is a hotel where you can immerse yourself deeply in your own time while placing yourself in an extraordinary environment.

## Logo Design
The brand logo was designed with the motifs of an "hourglass" and "letters emerging from the sand."
It expresses the quietly flowing time and the sensation of comfortably savoring each moment, symbolizing the serene worldview of the stay that SABLIER provides.

## All Rooms Equipped with 4K Projectors. Guest Rooms Become Private Theaters
The greatest feature of SABLIER is the overwhelming visual experience provided by large screens equipped in all rooms. In collaboration with JMGO, a highly acclaimed projector manufacturer that regularly wins Home Theater Awards, all guest rooms are fully equipped with the "N1S 4K" laser 4K projector. You can enjoy various video streaming services and TV broadcasts on a large screen. Through a large screen of up to 100 inches and high-quality audio equipment, the guest room transforms directly into a private theater. Please spend a special moment enveloped in the magic of movies, forgetting the passage of time in a space wrapped in silence.

## Free Popcorn & Soft Drink Service to Enhance Your Movie Experience
To make your movie viewing time even more enjoyable, a complimentary service of popcorn and soft drinks is scheduled to be offered at the front desk for limited hours. You can freely enjoy them as a companion during your relaxing time after check-in or when watching movies in your room.

## The Lounge Orchestrates the Afterglow of Your Stay with Music
A record player and high-quality speakers are installed in the lounge on the first floor. Movie soundtracks selected daily by the staff gently color your stay from check-in to check-out. You can experience SABLIER's unique worldview as a space where you can immerse yourself in the afterglow of a movie, not only through visuals but also through music.
Furthermore, the development of original merchandise in collaboration with various creators and companies, as well as the hosting of events, are planned for the future.
