Location

The luxury hotel is at an excellent location in Yurakucho, Chiyoda city. This is the prestigious commercial center of Tokyo and a very vibrant area close to the rail station. 

Moreover, the neighboring Ginza and Marunouchi districts attract all ages with memorable street-food stalls, department stores, and high-end boutique shopping. The Takarazuka Theater and Yurakucho movie complex provide entertainment with the elegant Hibiya Park nearby to offer a break from the hubbub. 

Additionally, two international airports serve the city, Haneda and Narita, with rail connections to/from both. A limousine service is also available for hotel guests.

Style and Reception

Although this standalone property is impressive in size, it is also elegant in design. A landmark in the city, the hotel rises like a tower resembling a Japanese lantern that is suffused with a rosy glow at night. 

The uniformed staff greets guests transported from the airport in a courtesy green Rolls Royce and helpful. The efficient staff takes over at front desk reception. Additionally, a stunning high-ceiling pink-marbled lobby is illuminated by a dazzling suspended chandelier, its 1313 light bulbs mimicking a firework display.
