Check-in takes place directly over cocktails at the lobby bar, surrounded by industrial concrete, bold graphic art, and foosball tables.
“The 205-room hotel is the work of Nomura Kougei, the interiors studio transforming an old 10-storey corner office block into a lively bolthole.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
The public spaces are packed with graphic art and pops of color, and while the rooms opt for a slightly more sedate look, they’re not unstylish.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in eastern Tokyo's lively Kinshicho district, traditional yakitori alleyways, noodle counters, and public bathhouses sit just outside the door.
The rooms
Folding tables and chairs hang neatly from pegboard walls to maximize floor space, paired with walk-in rainfall showers.
The gym
Underground, cardio machines and a punching bag sit beneath a colorful wall mural of surfing sumo wrestlers.
Moxy Bar & Lounge
Cocktails on tap and local craft beers pour from the bar counter alongside pizzas, fries, and fried chicken.
The building's exterior may be thoroughly nondescript—save for the logo's signature swoosh—but the interior contains all the trappings of a fun-spirited boutique hotel.
At the table
A round-the-clock noodle station lets you customize ramen bowls, with drink fridges and quick snacks close at hand.
How it began
Interior studio Nomura Kougei converted a 1988 corner office building into a bold hotel infused with colorful Edo Pop design.
