Soie rencontre Sakura · Suite privée + Bain Shoji

Newly remodeled (2026): a fully private suite with independent entrance and ryokan-style spa bath.
A Silk Road journey from Marrakech to Kyoto in the Oakland Hills — Moroccan lanterns, Turkish textiles, and Afghan-style floor seating meet a Japanese-minimalist king bedroom.

The suite blends two worlds:
On one side, a majilis-style living room: Moroccan brass lanterns, a Turkish carpet, Afghan floor cushions and curtains, and warm textiles arranged for tea, reading, or quiet conversation.
On the other, a Japanese-minimalist bedroom with a low-platform king bed and wabi-sabi walls — designed for genuine rest.
Bridging the two: a newly renovated spa bathroom with a custom shoji sliding door, rainfall shower, smart toilet, heated brass towel rail, and ambient backlit niches. Ryokan principles, modern execution.

Also included: fast Wi-Fi (200 Mbps), 50" smart TV with streaming, sound system, kitchenette, dedicated workspace, and a calm low-noise environment ideal for longer stays.
Pre-cooked meals, snacks, and optional breakfast are available on request.

Weekly stays welcome with discounts.. The suite is designed as a quiet, transportive hideaway, best suited for guests who value atmosphere, design, and calm. Past guests have stayed with us while visiting family, on temporary Bay Area assignments, relocating, studying, or taking a few days to disconnect.
