By GlobalDataThe design of 1 Hotel Tokyo is inspired by nature and traditional Japanese aesthetics, incorporating elements such as moss-covered boulders and Oya stone into its tranquil spaces.
The main lobby on the 38th floor offers a serene retreat with features reminiscent of a Zen garden and panoramic views of the city.
SH Hotels & Resorts chairman and 1 Hotels founder Barry Sternlicht said: “Partnering with Mori Trust, we see a vision realised—a shared vision that transcends mere accommodation and embodies a commitment to nature, luxury, and cultural preservation in Tokyo, a city renowned for its innovation and sophistication.
“To world travellers, Japan is revered for the beauty of its gardens and the serenity of the soul. We have tried to mirror this with our 1 Hotel Tokyo. It’s part of our pledge to create exceptional hospitality experiences that embrace the next generation of luxury travellers.”
Dining at 1 Hotel Tokyo will showcase Japan’s culinary excellence through thoughtfully designed spaces that complement the innovative cuisine.
Guests can enjoy private dining areas, an open kitchen, and views from both the main restaurant and the bar.

Natural materials and organic textures are used throughout to create a calming atmosphere, with spa-like bathrooms featuring stone vanities and deep soaking tubs.
