Palace Hotel Tokyo is a Marunouchi hotel beside the Wadakura moat, facing the Imperial Palace gardens. Its 284 rooms and suites sit at the meeting point of central Tokyo's business district and the palace grounds. Water, stone walls, and greenery give this address a distinct sense of place, with the city's rail network close at hand.
The hotel opened in its current form in 2012 after the original Palace Hotel was rebuilt from the ground up. Its predecessor dated to 1961, and parts of that building remain in use. Shigaraki tiles were repurposed during reconstruction, while an ink painting from the former Chiyoda Suite now hangs at the entrance to its successor.
Art continues through the guestrooms and public spaces, with more than 700 works selected or commissioned for the hotel. Rock sculptures, pencil drawings, and contemporary paper pieces sit within a collection that also includes colorful abstracts. The in-room art book gives you a way to identify works encountered around the building and look more closely at their makers.
Green palace grounds fill the foreground beyond the room's broad windows. The outlook also takes in Otemon Gate and Uchibori Dori, with the city further out. Rooms occupy floors 8 to 18 and include a seating area with a table for meals or work.
In one interior, gold-toned panels behind the bed sit beside cream lamps and dark wood-toned bedside furniture. A bench at the foot of the bed has olive-yellow cushions, adding colour to the light tones around it. Near the windows, a round table and dark-framed chairs make a separate place to sit.
The open-style bathroom keeps the soaking tub separate from the shower. Rain and handheld shower heads are both fitted, while the bath offers another part of the room in which to unwind.
Coffee and tea are provided, together with mineral water and a daily newspaper. A stocked minibar offers a further choice of drinks in the room.

Wadakura Fountain Park and the Imperial Palace Plaza form the foreground of the south-facing outlook.

Inside, a seating area and a table provide places to sit, dine or work away from the bed. One layout combines a pale sofa with a round table and a dark-framed chair beside the glass doors. Cream lamps and warm gold tones frame the sleeping area, where a bench with olive-yellow cushions sits at the foot of the bed.
Some king rooms can connect to a twin room on request. Coffee and tea, mineral water and a daily newspaper are included, while the stocked minibar offers further drinks in the room.

Deluxe rooms measure 45 square meters and have a king bed, a seating area, and a bathroom with a separate soaking tub and shower. Their windows look toward Otemon Gate. Bathrooms have Imabari bath linens and Bamford products. This category accommodates two guests.
At the same size, Deluxe with Balcony rooms face Wadakura Fountain Park and the Imperial Palace Plaza. Choose a king bed or twins; a rollaway allows a third guest. Some king and twin rooms can interconnect, but the arrangement needs confirmation. Select this category explicitly if private outdoor space is a priority, rather than assuming a balcony comes with every room.
The 75-square-meter Executive Suite separates the bedroom from the living room and includes a balcony and walk-in wardrobe. Its bathroom has dual sinks, with the tub and shower in a marble-and-glass enclosure. A two-bedroom arrangement is possible by also booking the adjoining Club Deluxe King with Balcony. The rooms share an external hallway secured by an outer door, a layout worth understanding before requesting the combination.
The basement passage leads directly to Otemachi Station's C13b exit, with five subway lines serving the interchange. Tokyo Station's Marunouchi North Exit is an estimated eight- to ten-minute walk away, useful when continuing through Japan by Shinkansen. Allow extra time inside the station to find your platform, especially with luggage. For airport arrivals by taxi, the hotel's estimates are about 40 minutes from Haneda and 60 to 90 minutes from Narita, depending on traffic.
Grand Kitchen is the all-day restaurant. On the lobby level, its show kitchen and see-through fireplace give the dining room an animated center, with The Palace Lounge next door. Beyond the windows, the moat-side terrace brings meals close to the water when weather allows. Breakfast here is reserved for staying guests. Later menus draw on American and several European cuisines, with Japanese influences.
Esterre by Alain Ducasse takes a more focused approach on the sixth floor. The partnership with DUCASSE Paris brings French technique to ingredients sourced in Japan. Children are welcome from age ten; men should plan on a jacket, with collared shirts accepted without jackets during summer.
Wadakura anchors the Japanese dining collection with seasonal kaiseki and views toward the moat and bridge that share its name. Nine private dining rooms give a reserved meal a different setting from the main dining room. Within Wadakura, Tatsumi has just six counter seats for tempura, with seasonal salts paired to the ingredients. Booking ahead is sensible for such a small counter.
GO cooks Japanese beef and seafood on teppanyaki grills in separate spaces seating six and eight. Sushi Kanesaka is another distinct restaurant within Wadakura, with a main counter that welcomes children from seven. Avoid strong perfume for the sushi meal. Tatsumi also has a minimum age of seven, so check the venue as well as the menu when arranging dinner.
Amber Palace, on the fifth floor, serves Cantonese and Shanghainese cooking, including Beijing duck and dim sum. Antique wood paneling and displays of traditional musical instruments give the room a character of its own.
Royal Bar retains the restored counter from the original hotel's 1961 bar. Dark wood, leather, and velvet surround it on the lobby level, behind a discreet entrance. Reservations are not accepted here. Lounge Bar Privé, on the sixth floor, has an outdoor terrace and a higher outlook across the gardens. Smoking is permitted on that terrace after 5 p.m.
Sweets & Deli is downstairs on B1, stocking hotel-made chocolates, breads, and pastries to take away. The classic Marron Chantilly is available throughout the year, alongside changing seasonal creations. For a meal upstairs, in-room dining runs around the clock, with a separate midnight menu. The wider selection includes a Japanese beef rice bowl as well as familiar Western dishes.
Five treatment rooms and a two-bed spa suite form the treatment side of evian SPA TOKYO. Treatments are for guests aged 18 and over; baths and saunas are accessible from 16. Separate men's and women's areas have heated baths, with a dry sauna and cold plunge on the men's side and a marble sauna on the women's. Bath and sauna use carries a charge for staying guests who have not booked a treatment.
The guest-only fitness center opens 24 hours and admits guests aged 16 and over. It is unstaffed overnight, between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m., so plan independent workouts during those hours. Alongside it, the indoor pool measures 20 meters long by five meters wide. Children aged five to 15 may swim with adult supervision between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.; younger children cannot use the pool.
The Imperial Palace East Gardens occupy parts of the former Edo Castle grounds, giving a walk here a historical focus as well as open space. They generally close on Mondays and Fridays, with holiday exceptions and occasional additional closures, so check the calendar before setting out. Entrance baggage checks apply. Leave larger bags at the hotel and keep the visit light.
Wadakura brings several Japanese cooking traditions together, giving guests a choice of sushi, tempura, grilled dishes, and seasonal courses within the hotel.
Complimentary weekend yoga welcomes beginners as well as experienced guests, with registration by the previous evening required to join a session.
Round-the-clock room service lets guests eat on their own schedule, helpful when jet lag makes normal restaurant hours feel out of step.

Yes. Palace Hotel Tokyo is excellent for business travellers because it sits in Marunouchi, close to Otemachi, Tokyo Station, corporate offices, financial institutions, and meeting venues.
