New signature menu appears in an all-inclusive buffet

On April 1, 2026, the buffet restaurant Le Sensoriel will start offering a new signature menu inspired by Food & Beverage's new CONCEPT Marche. The "fun of discovery" that makes you want to stop your feet unintentionally, the "excitement" of a live kitchen where you can finish cooking in front of you, and the "fresh experience" unique to your travel destination are packed.

Considering the diversity of food, we have expanded the vegetarian menu and enhanced the kids menu that children can enjoy with peace of mind. We will develop a menu that allows customers to experience the world view of "Marche", a travel destination where the five senses are active. At all-inclusive, in addition to the evening breakfast at the restaurant buffet, the lounge and the open-air hot spring bath, the great attraction is that you can spend your activities at no extra charge.
