Heritage & Craftsmanship

The Cedar House Story

Founded in 2021 by Cedar Hospitality Ltd., The Cedar House was conceived as a sanctuary for travelers seeking calm, architectural restraint, and personal hospitality.

Our Intent

Restraint as Luxury

Inspired by traditional Japanese wood joinery and contemporary minimalist architecture, every corner of The Cedar House is designed to slow guests down. By intentionally capping our capacity to 28 rooms and 6 suites, we ensure each guest receives attentive, unhurried service.

From the aroma of natural cedar lingering in the corridors to the carefully manicured moss courtyard, true luxury here is found in quiet spaces and thoughtful details.
