"If you thought you&amp;#039;d seen a minimalist hotel, you haven&amp;#039;t seen anything until you check out the Kyoto Kokusai Hotel by the architectural firm Kengo Kuma and Associates. This simplistic hotel design showcases what many houses in Japan favor -- basic design schemes and simplistic living.  The Kyoto Kokusai Hotel features not only stunning views of Japanese city life and modern rooms with wondrous wooden bathrooms, but a striking steak house complete with authentic floor matt seating! The Kyoto Kokusai Hotel is the perfect combination of modern and traditional design. &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Implications&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; - Minimalist designs like this hotel continue to gain popularity as a backlash to popular, extravagant consumer habits like hoarding. Consumers continue to favor products that allow them to simplify their lives and de-clutter, which businesses should be conscious of."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
