Melo Lodge: A Luxury Lodge in the Heart of Hakuba's Echoland
Melo Lodge presents a rare and exciting investment opportunity in one of Hakuba's most sought-after locations. This beautifully appointed lodge is situated just a short walk from Echoland, the vibrant hub of the Hakuba Valley known for its high concentration of restaurants, bars, and excellent bus connections to major ski resorts like Hakuba 47 and Happo-One.
The lodge itself has been meticulously renovated to a luxury level, reopening for the 2022-23 winter season after a two-year closure. It features a thoughtful blend of old rustic charm and modern finishes, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The property boasts 13 ensuite bedrooms, each offering private bathroom facilities and high-end interior touches, including Hermes wallpaper. Common areas include a spacious lounge with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen and bar, a dining area, a dry room, and a sun deck. Amenities are comprehensive, with powerful hot showers, heated wooden floors for winter comfort, and air-conditioning for summer.
Practical features include space for on-site staff and off-street parking for 6-7 cars. The lodge is fully licensed as a resident hotel and comes with state-of-the-art facilities. The area of Echoland is not only the social center of Hakuba but also provides convenient access to the valley's world-class skiing. A notable landmark nearby is the historic Happo-One ski resort, a venue for the 1998 Winter Olympics, which is just a short bus ride away and offers spectacular alpine scenery year-round.
