Standing tall in the prestigious Marunouchi district, directly across from the Imperial Palace, The Peninsula Tokyo exudes elegance and sophistication from every angle. Its striking 24-story tower, designed by the renowned architect Kazukiyo Sato, draws inspiration from a traditional Japanese lantern, creating a mesmerizing glow when illuminated at night. This architectural masterpiece sets the stage for a refined experience where Tokyo’s vibrant energy meets unparalleled luxury.
Opened in 2007, The Peninsula Tokyo was the first freestanding luxury hotel to be constructed in the city in over a decade, marking a new era in high-end hospitality. Its presence not only redefines luxury but also adds a unique cultural flair to the Tokyo skyline. From its stunning architectural design to its extraordinary collection of art, every aspect of the hotel has been crafted to evoke a sense of timeless beauty and exclusivity.
A Showcase of Art and Innovation
The Peninsula Tokyo is more than just a luxurious retreat—it is a canvas showcasing nearly 1,000 pieces of art, with works from 60 different artists, nearly all of whom are Japanese. Among the standout pieces is a striking bamboo sculpture by Keisen Hama, which resides in the hotel’s lobby. This magnificent work of art represents a dragon lying protectively over the universe, symbolizing protection from evil spirits. It is a visual testament to the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art that defines the hotel.
Equally captivating is the hotel’s chandelier, an awe-inspiring creation composed of 11,313 crystal LED lights that resemble a shower of fireworks overhead. In the grand atrium, guests are greeted by a series of 24 hanging sculptures by Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu, their glowing fiber-wrapped cones adding to the hotel’s atmosphere of enchantment and elegance.
