About this hotel
Worldwide, Nobu hotels and restaurants from respected chef Nobu Matsuhisa are trendy celebrity hangouts in which to see and be seen. However, the world’s first Nobu Ryokan — based off a traditional Japanese-style inn — is the opposite: a hideaway. With only 16 rooms and tucked away from the outside world, it’s an oceanside escape dedicated to the art of unwinding. Located in the heart of Malibu on Billionaire’s Beach (officially known as Carbon Beach), Nobu Ryokan Malibu is fashioned completely of teak with rooms that are decorated in Japanese-meets-California chic sensibilities. Spearheaded by Nobu founders actor Robert De Niro and chef Matsuhisa, the ultra-exclusive concept has earned a reputation among jet setters and tastemakers from coast to coast.
