What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside, though, it’s quite a bit more inspiring, projecting a sedate and somewhat grown-up image — the Granbell’s idea of design is closer to chocolate-and-cream luxury...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Akasaka-mitsuke Station is two minutes away on foot, placing lively izakaya alleys and yakitori grills right at your doorstep.
The rooms
Compact layouts pair dark wood accents with chocolate tones, fitted with Simmons mattresses and glass-partitioned bathrooms.
At the table
A dedicated counter serves A5 Wagyu teppanyaki upstairs, and The Mermaid pours draft beers out on its street terrace.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
