1 Hotels, the luxury lifestyle brand founded by hospitality visionary Barry Sternlicht, has announced the official opening of 1 Hotel Tokyo, the brand’s first property in Japan. Now welcoming guests, the hotel is set high within the Akasaka Trust Tower, offering sweeping views of the Imperial Palace gardens, Tokyo Tower, and the city skyline. The property brings 1 Hotels’ signature nature-led design, food and beverage concepts, wellness-forward experiences, and a sustainable ethos to one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
The property is the result of a collaboration between 1 Hotels and Mori Trust—one of Japan’s leading real estate developers—and anchors Tokyo World Gate Akasaka, a next-generation mixed-use hub that combines offices, retail, and culture in a pedestrian-friendly setting. Akasaka is an ideal base for exploring all that Tokyo has to offer, placing guests at the center of the city’s cultural and commercial energy. From here, iconic neighborhoods such as Ginza, Roppongi, and Shibuya are easily accessible, while nearby parks, shrines, and embassies lend the district a distinctive mix of international presence and local character.
