HOTEL FACT SHEET
OVERVIEW
The 290-room Palace Hotel Tokyo commands some of the city’s most
exclusive real estate and stands as heir to a legacy going back more than
half a century as one of the city’s most iconic hotels.
Reconstructed entirely from the ground up, the contemporary Palace
Hotel Tokyo is the anchor to a USD 1.2 billion mixed-use development
– the hotel component of which features exquisite guestrooms, 10
distinctive restaurants & bars, Japan’s only evian SPA and extensive
meetings & events facilities.
Imbued with understated luxury, sophisticated restraint and subtle
Japanese touches throughout, the hotel was envisioned and developed as
a tribute to omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) and design and is the only
wholly Japanese-owned and managed hotel to garner the industry’s highly
coveted Forbes Five-Star rating – an award recognized worldwide as a
prestigious mark of distinction.
Drawing deeply from the country’s history, culture and art, the much-
lauded property has redefined luxury in Japan with grace, elegance and
authenticity since its debut in May 2012.
With its decades-long commitment to offering omotenashi at its finest,
Palace Hotel presents guests with an unparalleled experience of Tokyo.
LOCATION
The hotel’s singular moat-side setting across from the Imperial Palace
gardens - a 3.5-square-kilometer green space in the heart of the city -
delivers an incomparable perspective on Tokyo’s natural splendor and
the skyline that surrounds from every single guestroom, its spa and nearly
all of its restaurants and bars.
Claiming prime frontage at 1-1-1 Marunouchi, the hotel also offers its
guests centrality in the prestigious Marunouchi district.
Mere steps away is Marunouchi Naka Dori, a tree-lined shopping street
tantamount to New York City’s Madison Avenue and London’s Bond
Street – a popular dining and shopping destination for foodies and
fashionistas alike.

in the Ehime prefecture of Japan renowned for the quality of its towel
manufacturing since it began over 110 years ago – and high quality
Jugetsudo brand teas by Maruyama Nori, a venerable Japanese brand
founded in 1854 in Tokyo’s Tsukiji district.
Accompanying the Jugetsudo teas as part of the in-room tea service
presentation are nambu-tekki cast iron teapots and tea cups handmade in
Tochigi prefecture in the Mashiko-yaki style of pottery which dates back
to Japan’s Nara period. The lacquer tea cup saucers originate from Sabae,
a city in Fukui prefecture known for the emperor-commissioned Echizen
lacquerware it began producing over 1,500 years ago.
Bath amenities include Parisian brand Anne Semonin for rooms and
British brand Bamford for suites.
