Beginning February 14, and leading up to the series premiere on February 27, Nobu Hotels in Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami Beach, and Palo Alto invite guests to step into the world of 1600s Japan. Upon arrival, visitors will be captivated by stunning lobby pop-ups featuring authentic Shōgun costumes from the show. These installations not only serve as a visual feast but also transport guests to the Sengoku period, a time when fashion was a rich tapestry indicating status, profession, and lineage.
The cultural journey extends beyond the lobby. Guests checking in from February 21 through February 27 will receive an exclusive amenity kit courtesy of Bokksu. This special offering includes a selection of unique Japanese snacks, providing a taste of Japan’s winter season and further enriching the Shōgun experience.
