Sand-textured wallpaper, hand-applied lime plaster finishes, and lines of gravel along the walls—every detail within the hotel evokes the tranquility of Japanese mountain streams and wilderness. The lounge, inspired by Zen philosophy, features a stone and gravel garden, where the aesthetic of wabi-sabi quietly resides amidst refinement. CEO Raul Leal states, “Tokyo has been an incredibly inspiring canvas for creating spaces that blend beauty and sustainability.” His words are etched into every corner of this hotel.

 

Each of the 211 guest rooms is like a small art gallery. Works of art made from preserved moss and recycled palettes, interiors by local artisans, carefully selected greenery—all are products of human hands and intention, not mass production. Furthermore, 24 suites, including three penthouses, offer views of the Tokyo skyline and the Imperial Palace Outer Garden. This is a tranquil retreat that trusts in the power of quality materials, rather than excessive ornamentation.

 

The same philosophy extends to the dining experiences. The signature restaurant draws inspiration from the Mediterranean, interpreting the spirit of the French Riviera with a Tokyo sensibility. It transforms subtly from light fare during the day to a more international ambiance at night, while the aperitif bar offers a selection of spritzes and cocktails. At the Lobby Lounge & Bar, the focus is on a gin library featuring 50 botanical varieties from around the world and Japan, where guests can experience the “Signature Martini Ritual,” selecting their own botanicals and vermouth to craft their martini. The “Neighbors Café,” open to both travelers and locals, elevates daily life with plant-based healthy cuisine and coffee brewed by artisans.

 

The practice of minimizing waste and meticulously utilizing seasonal and local ingredients is not merely a trend but a manifestation of the brand’s core integrity. Even event spaces achieve sustainable gatherings through waste-free operations and catering with local ingredients, under the unique “Certified Sustainable Gatherings” program.

 

 

The spa offers holistic treatments that blend Japanese and Western traditions. The space, featuring five private rooms, a couple’s suite, and a hammam room, serves less as a stage for hospitality and more as a sanctuary for quiet self-rediscovery. The fitness area, named “The Field House,” is available 24 hours a day and is equipped with Technogym machines. Beyond the indoor pool, bathed in natural light, a planted deck extends, creating an environment enveloped in greenery and light, even in the heart of the city.
