PB hotel design editorial

Facing the moat of the Imperial Palace across one of Tokyo's most charged pieces of real estate, Palace Hotel Tokyo opened in 2012 on the same Marunouchi site as its predecessor, a postwar institution that had defined the city's idea of civic hospitality for half a century. The new building, designed by Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei and rising twenty-three floors above the palace gardens, makes its argument through restraint rather than spectacle — a stepped white facade whose horizontal banding echoes the tiered stone walls of the palace grounds visible from almost every room on the garden-facing side. The interiors carry that discipline inward. Guest rooms unfold in warm taupe and walnut, floral-patterned carpets in muted sage and cream providing the closest thing to ornament, while paper-lantern pendants and low platform beds in dark-stained timber anchor the aesthetic firmly in a refined Japanese residential tradition rather than the generic international luxury register. The Chinese restaurant, visible in the images, deploys carved lattice screens, dark timber furniture upholstered in terracotta, and a specimen tree planted at the room's centre — an arrangement that feels more like a private dining house in imperial Beijing than a hotel outlet. The lap pool, lined in dark mosaic tile and framed by floor-to-ceiling glass, turns the Tokyo skyline into the facility's primary decoration, red Lafuma loungers providing the sole note of chromatic contrast against the night city beyond.

Palace Hotel Tokyo Reviews

"We normally stay at the Peninsula hotel, but were trying out the Palace hotel this time round for a change. We loved the Peninsula hotel for the location right next to Ginza, but as it turned out, Palace Hotel was also very convenient. First of all, the view of the imperial palace garden was spectacular. The rooms, and especially the French restaurants and the lounge bar definitely made full use of it. Secondly, it also had access to a few different train lines so going out/walking to Tokyo station was a breeze. Service here was extremely good, the concierge desk responded to everything in an impressive manner. There were also an excellent selection of F&B outlets, we tried a few of them and they were all very good and reasonably priced. All in all a great stay and we would love to return on our next visit to Tokyo."

"Beautiful hotel in Tokyo and fantastic service. Highlight for us was the breakfast. The check in experience was relatively cold and not totally clear, which maybe was just one glitch as what we experienced throughout our stay was exceptional service."

"Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps your warmth and genuine appreciation while making it flow naturally: We were recommended to stay at the Palace Hotel Tokyo, and we are so pleased that we did. From the moment we arrived, it was an amazing experience thanks to the exceptional staff and first-class facilities. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the attention to detail was outstanding. Even the bathroom amenities were replenished daily, which was something we had never experienced before. Every member of staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to do anything possible to help. We would especially like to praise the Club Lounge, which we had access to due to our room status. The Manager, Yuki Nakasone, and Assistant Manager, Lisa Kobayashi, were truly exceptional. My husband Nigel became quite ill during our stay, and I was understandably very upset. Yuki and Lisa showed such kindness, care, and compassion, and they did everything they could to support us during a difficult time. We will never forget their kindness. The food and drinks available in the Club Lounge were excellent, and because Nigel was unwell, we often ate there in the evenings as it was just perfect for us. The opening hours were also incredible — food and drinks were available almost all day, which is something we have never experienced in any other hotel. Our suite for the five-night stay was spacious, comfortable, and had a wonderful balcony, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel’s location is also perfect — right by the Palace grounds and within easy walking distance of many tourist attractions and areas of Tokyo. We truly cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and would absolutely stay again"
