In Harmony With Nature

Located in the capital’s prestigious Marunouchi district, Palace Hotel Tokyo faces unmatched views of the city’s skyline and the Imperial Palace gardens (it even shares a moat with these beautifully manicured gardens).

The hotel, which is the anchor to a billion dollar mixed-use development, commands some of the city’s most exclusive real estate. Drawing from the country’s history, culture and art, the iconic establishment continues to redefine luxury in Japan with sophistication and authenticity.

This Japanese-owned and managed property, which underwent a complete rebuild in 2012, boasts more than 1,000 permanent pieces of art that can be found throughout the different areas. The most notable pieces are seen in the hotel’s public spaces, including the main lobby and reception area.
