With the look of a cosy winter lodge, the Shakespeare Hotel exudes an alpine charm yet is set in one of Japan’s most scenic and popular ski and hiking destinations.
RENOWNED for redefining the hospitality landscape across Malaysia, the Ormond Group is making waves once again with its latest venture.
Its latest venture, the Shakespeare Hotel, is nestled within the breathtaking mountains of Hakuba, Japan and draws on the group’s expertise from owning and operating Malaysia's Best Boutique Hotel, The Chow Kit - an Ormond Hotel, as well as Tune Hotel at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)-KLIA2, which was considered Asia's Best Airport Hotel.
The new 39-room Shakespeare Hotel is the latest feather in the group’s cap as it promises to set new benchmarks for comfort, convenience and value.
Bringing boutique excellence to Hakuba

To complete its holistic guest experience, the Shakespeare Hotel offers a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation at Komorebi Yoga and Asian Healing Tamamido Spa.

Culinary wonderland: the Shakespeare’s world of flavours
At the heart of the hotel lies a culinary concept unlike any other in Hakuba — the hotel’s World of Flavour offers a dining destination that unites seven distinct restaurants under one roof.
It is a gastronomic playground that takes guests on a global journey of flavours, without leaving the property.
One of its standout venues is Kin Kitchen, a South-East Asian gem that serves home-grown dishes like nasi lemak, beef rendang, and the aromatic lamb kuzi, a dish that beautifully melds tradition with rich, bold spices.
Adding to the vibrant tapestry is the Hamlet Bar, where smoky satay skewers and tender tandoori chicken are paired with curated drinks, creating the perfect après-ski indulgence.
