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.

"The hotel is spectacularly located across from the Imperial Palace. The entire team was incredibly welcoming and helpful. We had some special logistics sending ski equipment up to Hokkaido, which the hotel handled brilliantly. The team was helpful ordering taxis and with dinner reservations and other transport advice. The room was stocked with delightful amenities as well as pajamas"

"I only have wonderful things to say about the Palace Hotel in Tokyo. The rooms were spotless and light-filled with exceptional views. The service was five-star. The breakfast options were plenty (choose from Japanese or Western). We loved the location across the street from the Imperial gardens. The gym was large and well equipped and the pool was amazing for doing laps. Did I mention the five-star service? Every step of the way the staff went above and beyond. I can’t recommend this hotel enough."

"As it was my first trip, I was looking at all the Tokyo hotel reviews (exhaustively!) to figure out where to stay. I stayed in two different hotels in the city, as my trip was broken up by a longer journey throughout Japan. I cannot recommend The Palace enough! It was not only a phenomenal location (close to both the Imperial Gardens and the shopping of Ginza), but the staff is knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to make your stay extra-, extra-special. I think that there is some real clout that comes with being such a grande dame hotel in any city...and in this case, The Palace seems to attract a best-of-the-best staff because of it. The hotel also a reputation that probably precedes itself in terms of making important, hard-to-get restaurant reservations and the like. I would like to particularly make mention of the Chief Concierge, Mayako Sumiyoshi, who--along with her team--knows Tokyo so unbelievably well, she will never steer you wrong with her suggestions. Everything we did was spot-on for what we were looking for, and I don't think we would have had the same experience anywhere else. Of course the hotel room and property itself was wonderful, but that's actually more to be expected when you're choosing a luxury hotel of this level. What really sets this hotel apart was the perfect know-how in suggesting exactly what we would want to do and helping us implement it flawlessly. Very valuable for a first-time visitor for whom language and a lack of seasoned experience in a city is a barrier. Thank you again Mayako and A+ Palace Hotel team!"

"Absolutely beautiful hotel. Outstanding staff and service. Wonderful location. Convenient to the train station. Great room overlooking the Imperial Palace with a balcony. We did not use the restaurant or bar, but both looked great. We did room service for breakfast and the timeliness and delivery were great."
