The vacation home brand NOT A HOTEL has announced a unique partnership with the mobile game Pokémon Sleep, centered on a new, immersive lodging experience. The project features a human-sized Poké Ball structure designed to bring the game's aesthetic into the real world, set against the backdrop of the Hokkaido woods.
A promotional video released by The Pokémon Company showcases the concept, highlighting appearances from iconic Pokémon including Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Cubone, Snorlax, and Mew. While the visual mockups suggest a highly stylized environment, the specific amenities and interior layout remain under wraps.
Interested guests can begin submitting reservation applications starting September 15. As of now, the developers have not disclosed a formal opening date or the expected nightly rates for the facility. With the project still in its early stages, it remains to be seen how the site will integrate the game’s sleep-tracking mechanics into the guest experience.
