1 Hotel Tokyo: A Sustainable Luxury Experience
SH Hotels & Resorts, the innovative hotel brand management company led by Barry Sternlicht, is excited to announce the upcoming launch of 1 Hotel Tokyo. Set to premiere in 2025, this hotel is the result of a collaboration with Mori Trust, a prominent real estate developer. Together, they are crafting an unparalleled hotel experience that prioritizes nature and sustainability.
Strategic Location in Akasaka
1 Hotel Tokyo will grace the vibrant Akasaka district, serving as a key element of Mori Trust's Tokyo World Gate Akasaka project. This state-of-the-art development will not only cater to luxurious stays but will also integrate retail and office spaces, creating a lively, pedestrian-friendly environment.
A Vision for Nature and Luxury
Barry Sternlicht shared, "Our partnership with Mori Trust brings to life our shared vision that goes beyond mere accommodation. It encompasses a dedication to nature, luxury, and the preservation of culture in Tokyo, a city celebrated for its innovative spirit." He emphasized that 1 Hotel Tokyo aims to reflect the beauty of Japan's gardens, creating exceptional hospitality for modern travelers.
Commitment to Sustainability
At the heart of 1 Hotel Tokyo lies a strong commitment to sustainability, achieving the prestigious Rank S certification from CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency). This accolade underscores the hotel’s ambition to align with Japan's environmental objectives, implementing energy and water conservation measures, rainwater recycling systems, and sourcing furniture from reclaimed materials.
A Sanctuary of Calm and Innovation
1 Hotel Tokyo’s design embodies a philosophy rooted in biophilic design, focusing on wellness and nature-inspired experiences. The hotel will create a peaceful haven with elements like moss-covered boulders, plant-laden walls, and natural stone, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural influence in Japan.
Culinary Excellence
The culinary offerings at 1 Hotel Tokyo will highlight Japan's gastronomic heritage, pairing exquisite design with exceptional cuisine. The main dining area will feature an open kitchen, private dining spaces, and sweeping views of the Imperial Palace, enhancing the dining experience with a touch of local culture.
For example, the bar will showcase hand-stitched lanterns and a unique seating arrangement that provides 360-degree views over the cityscape. The thoughtful design reflects a commitment to showcasing the rich culinary traditions of Japan.
