Hoshinoya Tokyo

Izumi Ogawa — Tue, 29 May 2018 02:01:54 +0000

HOSHINOYA Tokyo, operated by Hoshino Resorts, lies in the city’s economic center amid a landscape of buildings owned by financial and media giants. In contrast with its grand facade, the 17-story hotel offers a relaxed ambience with a sense of intimacy and surprise–qualities that are rooted in traditional Japanese hospitality. Each floor is an exclusive domain, accessible only by the guests staying there, and with a dedicated staff in place to meet their every need–as well as to maintain the elegant customs that have been honored for centuries at traditional Japanese inns known as ryokan.

You can read about my experience at this wonderful property here.
