Hotel Okura Tokyo – Review & Photos

The hotel had just been reopened as The Okura Hotel on September 12, 2019, after the Hotel Okura Tokyo was renovated.

Sign in front of the hotel.

The hotel consists of two buildings; a 41-story “Okura Prestige Tower” and a 17-story “Okura Heritage Wing.”

This time I stayed at the Prestige Tower.

Each building has an entrance and a front desk, so you can check-in at the building you are planning on staying.

There was a drive in at the entrance.

The lobby, designed by Yoshio Taniguchi, has been carefully restored from the old building, so it may be a nostalgic space for customers who have stayed here before the renovation.

The Okura lantern, which is a symbol of the hotel, has been relocated.

The front desk was at one corner of the lobby, and there were chairs and tables in front of it.

There was also a concierge desk in the lobby.

There is a switch for the blinds by the window as well.

The view from the big window was splendid. All the rooms of the Prestige Tower are on the 28th floor or above, so you can enjoy the view from any room.

On the west side of the hotel site was a private art museum called “Okura Shukokan” explaining about the Okura family. Guests can see the exhibits for free.

In front of the Okura Shukokan, there was a statue of Kihachiro Okura, who established this museum (the name of Tsukahiko Okura, the father of Kiichiro Okura, who is the founder of Hotel Okura.)

On the north side and east side of the hotel site was a three-dimensional “Okura Garden” with an overwhelming amount of plants utilizing dynamic topography.

Many kinds of trees are planted so that you can feel the change of the four seasons.

I saw many elderly couples, families and young couples. There seemed to be many Japanese people staying at this hotel.
