Stay Edit

The Art of
the Edited Stay.

Reimagining Japan's hospitality culture
as the true luxury the world desires.

Stay Edit —

Beyond the bounds of conventional operational support,
we unearth the story each place holds
and reimagine it through a contemporary sensibility.

Reverence for tradition, and innovation attuned to the global traveller.
At their intersection, a singular value of stay is born.

Four Pillars

More than operational support for ryokan and hotels, we compose story, space, and operation into a single, coherent brand experience. SE Partners is at once the editor and the executor — raising a property's appeal to a true global standard.

Curation of "Stay"

Re-editing the Value of the Stay

We curate each property's character through a distinctive lens, seamlessly uniting the tangible — space — with the intangible — experience.

Global Inbound Strategy

Optimised for the Global Traveller

Fluent in the world's standards of luxury, we craft branding that transcends language, culture, and expectation.

Traditional meets Modern

A Contemporary Translation of Tradition

The editorial craft to render Japan's aesthetic sensibility for modern life — never reduced to formula, always kept alive.

End-to-End Support

From Concept to the Floor

Beyond consulting alone — linen, housekeeping, and the cultivation of people. The execution to turn aesthetics into lived reality.

Service Breakdown

From concept and design to operational refinement and revenue, from people to the foundations of quality — we support it all, end to end. By perfecting both the visible allure and the invisible luxury, we elevate the very grade of the stay.

Hisae Yanai

Founder, Stay Edit

Brand Editor, Stay Edit

For more than twenty-five years, I have worked across the world's hospitality industry, creating value in hotels, travel and cultural experience.

At luxury hotel brands in Japan and abroad — Accor, The Ritz-Carlton, The Peninsula — and at global travel platforms such as Hotelbeds, I have built the systems that carry the value of hospitality to the world: from brand creation to distribution strategy and market development.

Through more than 2,000 stays around the world, from luxury hotels to long-established ryokan, I have explored the value a stay can hold — the value that space, service and culture create together.

The culture a place has inherited, the hands of its craftspeople, its architecture, its cuisine, its nature, and the feelings of its people — to carry this value grown by time, which no number alone can measure, into the next era, I founded Stay Edit.

Stay Edit is not simply consulting. We do not make old things new; we re-edit the beauty that was always there.

By drawing out the stories held within ryokan, hotels and regional assets — and re-editing brand experience, space, service and partnership as one whole — we create a value of stay that reaches the world.

Preserve the soul. Edit the experience.
