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

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.

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.

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.
