A modern Japanese classic beside the Imperial Palace, Palace Hotel Tokyo combines balcony rooms, moat and garden views, Evian Spa and exceptional Japanese and French dining in Marunouchi.
Palace Hotel Tokyo occupies one of the capital’s most privileged sites, directly beside the Imperial Palace moat at the edge of Marunouchi. Otemachi Station connects below the building and Tokyo Station is within walking distance.
The hotel was completely rebuilt and reopened in 2012, replacing an earlier property that had stood on the site for decades. Contemporary rooms use pale wood, stone and green accents, with many balconies framing the Imperial Palace gardens and water.
Evian Spa introduced the French mineral-water wellness brand to Japan and includes treatment rooms, thermal facilities and a 20-meter indoor pool. Fitness spaces similarly take advantage of the unusually green views outside.
Dining is a major strength, spanning French cuisine at Esterre, traditional Japanese cooking at Wadakura, sushi, tempura and broad all-day options. Royal Bar and the Palace Lounge preserve a more classic hotel social atmosphere.
Palace Hotel Tokyo is best for travelers who want central Tokyo convenience with open views and a strong Japanese identity. The balconies, palace setting and dining depth make it one of Marunouchi’s most complete luxury stays.
