The oldest hotel in the world

 







The Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan spa hotel was originally opened in 705 AD, and in 2011 it was declared the oldest hotel in the world by Guinness World Records (currently 1311 years old).


The hotel has been owned and operated by the same family for 52 generations since its inception.
