Hospitality company Accor has announced the upcoming debut of its luxury brand Raffles Hotels & Resorts in Tokyo, Japan.

Raffles Tokyo is slated to open its doors in 2028 as part of the redevelopment of Tokyo’s World Trade Center in the Hamamatsuchō district.

The new hotel, designed by Layan, is expected to offer 130 guest rooms, including 27 suites.

Raffles Tokyo will also have six food and beverage outlets, a fitness studio, a swimming pool, and a spa and bathhouse.

The hotel will offer more than 1,156m² of meeting spaces and facilities.

Raffles Hotels & Resorts CEO Omer Acar said: "We are delighted to grow the Raffles global family with Raffles Tokyo, which will feature the brand’s world-renowned hallmarks, including a personalised butler service and an inspiring environment where anything is possible for our guests.

“World Trade Center Building and Tokyo Tatemono are like-minded partners that share our vision for delivering luxury hospitality at the highest level, and we look forward to unveiling a new urban icon in one of the world’s most vibrant and culturally significant cities."

Raffles Tokyo will occupy the top 46 floors of the World Trade Centre building.

The property’s location offers convenient access to city landmarks such as Tokyo Tower, the Roppongi Museum, and Rainbow Bridge, as well as direct access to Hamamatsuchō station.

World Trade Centre building president Chikao Miyazaki said: “We are confident that the development of Raffles Tokyo in collaboration with Tokyo Tatemono at the landmark World Trade Center Building in Hamamatsucho will further enhance Hamamatsucho's appeal and provide an even more special stay experience for both business and leisure travellers.”

Earlier this month, Raffles Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of a luxury destination in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
