Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan (I'm officially impressed)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nishiyama_Onsen_Keiunkan
Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan ( 西山温泉慶雲館 ) is a hot spring hotel in Hayakawa, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 705, it is the oldest hotel and one of the oldest companies in operation. In 2011, the hotel was officially recognized by the Guinness World Records as the oldest hotel in the world. It has been continuously operated by 52 generations of the same family (including adopted heirs) for over 1,300 years.
The Keiunkan lies at the foot of the Akaishi Mountains. Since its foundation the hotel has had all its hot water sourced directly from the local Hakuho Springs. The hotel was last renovated in 1997 and has 37 rooms.
