Located in Japan’s financial district of Otemachi, the hotel occupies levels 33 to 38 of the recently built Otemachi Tower, offering scenic views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and surrounding landmarks such as the renowned Ginza shopping district.

The property is designed by Kerry Hill Architects, who have incorporated a mix of the elements and traditional Japanese design, such as playing with an abundance of daylight, classical Japanese materials such as Camphor wood, Washi paper and stone.
