Park Hotel Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan

 In a triangular skyscraper, French interior designer Frederic Thomas has created a sleek hotel concept that connects with the lively milieu of the surrounding business district in downtown Tokyo without succumbing to its fast pace.

The Park Hotel Tokyo features 273 guestrooms spanning across the top ten floors of the Shiodome Media Tower in downtown Tokyo. A home to international media organisations and television companies, the tower also offers an oasis of elegant living. Its highlight is the atrium that begins with the hotel on the building’s 25th floor and soars all the way up to the 34th. Trees and plants placed on the obsidian and teak lobby floor reflect the Japanese cultural tradition of living in harmony with nature. This soothing haven of trees and greenery, showered in sunlight pouring through the glazed roof, is spun into the atrium as well, which is the tranquil backbone of Thomas’ concept.

All the guestrooms face the outside and Thomas’ interior design concept is founded on specially selected off-white furniture, sensuously curvaceous forms and soft fabric covered walls – which creates a softening cushion to cleverly juxtapose the stark backdrop of Tokyo’s newer business and cultural centres outside. One of two low-level exits conveniently leads straight to the Waterfront Transit Station, giving guests a quick and easy to explore the many other facets of fascinating Tokyo.

The Park Hotel Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan was developed by the leading Japanese real estate corporation, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Estate is known for developing a wide range of properties, including office buildings, residential complexes, hotels, and shopping centers. The Park Hotel Tokyo is a luxury hotel located in the Shiodome area of Tokyo. Its striking design, developed by renowned architect/engineer team Taisei Corporation and Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC, features a unique fusion of modern and traditional Japanese elements. The hotel offers elegant accommodations, distinctive dining experiences, and breathtaking views of the Tokyo skyline from its elevated position.
