[ To Guests with a Food Allergy]
At Beppu Onsen Suginoi Hotel we consider the safety of guests our top priority and refrain from preparing menus for guests with food allergies and labeling dishes with allergens.
Meals are mainly served buffet style, so various dishes are cooked with the same utensils in the same kitchens and there is the possibility that a very small quantity of an allergen may become mixed into foods served during the process of preparation and cooking.
Given the nature of buffets, guests share use of chopsticks, tongs, etc., and crockery and cutlery are washed in the same place in the same dishwashers, so it may not be possible to completely prevent the presence of allergens.
Please excuse us for asking for your understanding on these matters and for asking you to make the final decision about whether to eat a certain food.
If you have an allergy, you may bring in your own allergen-free foods (e.g., allergen-free food in pouches), cutlery, and crockery.
If you intend to bring these into a restaurant, etc., please let us know beforehand, when you make your reservation.
A lobby where art and Oita culture blend
The lobby features floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering panoramic views of Beppu Bay and the cityscape. The wall connecting to the entrance is adorned with an artwork approximately 4 meters high and 25 meters long by internationally renowned plasterer Mr. Naoki Kusumi, welcoming guests as they enter.
The spaces, such as the café lounge (fee required) with walls adorned with Beppu stone, incorporate materials with deep ties to the local region. In addition to the face-to-face front desk, we have introduced self-service Check-in that allow for contactless Check-in.
