THE LIVELY celebrates its 6th anniversary with “LIVELY Y3K DISCO,” a special event blending futuristic “Y3K” vibes and retro disco flair. Inspired by the cyber-aesthetic evolution of Y2K, the event reimagines early 2000s nostalgia with bold, virtual-world elements that evoke the year 3000.

Meanwhile, at the signature bar, guest bartender Masahiro Ietsune will craft four exclusive cocktails for the occasion. Enjoy these themed drinks along with special food menus inspired by both the event concept and each hotel’s local flavor.
Free for both hotel guests and visitors, this is an invitation to immerse yourself in the unique style, music, and culinary experiences that define THE LIVELY. Make it a memorable evening with friends, family, or someone special.
