Palace Hotel Tokyo

Overview

Located beside the Imperial Palace moat in central Tokyo, Palace Hotel Tokyo is one of the city’s most prestigious luxury hotels, renowned for its sense of space, light, and serenity.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame gardens, water, and skyline, creating a seamless connection between the city and nature. The atmosphere is discreet and understated, offering a calm retreat that feels distinctly Japanese in both design and service philosophy.
