it’s a first-class modern business hotel, with all that label implies: big, stately, high-ceilinged guest quarters, a range of bars and restaurants...
“Refurbished in 2012, the bi-level maisonette rooms have a classic European aesthetic, with vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, silk curtains, and goose down–swaddled beds.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Marunouchi's tree-lined avenues and the Imperial Palace gardens stretch just outside, with bullet trains waiting directly below.
The rooms
High-ceilinged rooms feature classic chandeliers, while Dome Side accommodations look directly down into the station's restored cupolas.
The spa
Private treatment rooms offer body and facial rituals utilizing Japanese botanical oils and gold leaf.
The gym and baths
The basement houses Technogym fitness machines alongside artificial hot springs and carbonated micro-bubble baths.
At the table
The Atrium serves breakfast beneath a soaring skylight, and Blanc Rouge pairs French dining with passing train views.
Inside the hotel lobby, you’ll step into a space with sky-high ceilings and shiny tile flooring, an elegant fireplace, and a seating area.
How it began
World War II air raids destroyed the building's original upper floor and cupolas, which were meticulously reconstructed during a six-year restoration.
“The British colonial-inspired décor adds to the historic air of the hotel, which survived the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II.”
