Hoshinoya Tokyo combines 'urban luxury' with traditional Japanese hospitality
Situated in Tokyo’s business district, the latest offering from hotel and resort operator Hoshinoya Resorts, Hoshinoya Tokyo, features a spa and top floor natural hot spring.
Designed by Azuma Architect & Associates and created by large-scale construction specialists Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei, the 17-storey, 84 room hotel is the city’s first luxury ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), offering traditional Japanese culture combined with high-level hospitality.
Each floor of the hotel replicates a single ryokan, while guest rooms feature cotton futons, low level furniture, deep bathtubs and contemporary styling.
A key feature is the onsen – an inside/outside bath – which is located along a dimly lit corridor on the top floor and is enclosed by walls, providing guests with an unobstructed view of the sky.
The Otemachi Hot Spring's gentle, mineral-rich waters are piped up from 1,500m below street level; they are reported to help the body maintain its temperature and heal cuts, while helping to revitalise and reduce fatigue.
