Reflecting a shared ambition to create a hotel that looks to the future – combining elevated design with environmental responsibility – 1 Hotel Tokyo is the result of a longtime collaboration between 1 Hotels and Mori Trust, a pioneering name in Japanese hospitality and real estate. The property will anchor the next-generation Tokyo World Gate Akasaka, which brings together offices, retail, and culture in a pedestrian-friendly setting.
Located on the 38th to 43rd floors of the Akasaka Trust Tower, 1 Hotel Tokyo showcases sweeping views of the Imperial Palace gardens, Tokyo Tower, and the city skyline. Biophilic design – a hallmark of 1 Hotels – guides the overall vision, while Japan’s tradition of craftsmanship informs the details, uniting nature and artistry.
Throughout the public areas, guests connect to nature at every turn, from the outdoor green wall at the ground-floor arrival to preserved greenery woven throughout the interior spaces. Upon arrival at the 38th-floor lobby, guests are greeted by a stunning vertical botanical installation and a sculptural entry vestibule clad in preserved moss, recycled timber panels, and Oya stone (a historically significant local rock used by Frank Lloyd Wright in some of his iconic Japanese projects). The space unfolds into a Zen-inspired lounge surrounded by potted plants and built-in planters, as well as a garden with sculptural rocks and gravel.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
