The Peninsula Tokyo Hotel – Where Japanese Elegance Meets Modern Sophistication

The Peninsula Tokyo stands among Asia’s most distinguished luxury addresses. Overlooking the Imperial Palace Gardens and Hibiya Park, it blends Japanese refinement with cutting-edge comfort and the Peninsula brand’s global prestige.

Hotel Overview — What Defines The Peninsula Tokyo’s Identity?

The Peninsula Tokyo is a benchmark in ultra-luxury hospitality, representing the artistry and innovation of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Group.
Opened on 1 September 2007, it marked the brand’s return to Japan and instantly earned a reputation as one of the city’s most sophisticated hotels.

Rising 24 floors with 314 rooms and suites, the property offers some of the largest guestroom footprints in Tokyo, averaging 54 m². The design merges contemporary architecture with traditional Japanese craftsmanship, featuring washi textures, lacquer finishes, and soft ambient lighting reminiscent of Kyoto’s tranquillity.

The clientele consists primarily of UHNW travellers, business executives, and diplomatic visitors who value discretion, precision, and personalised attention. With accolades including Forbes Five-Star status and recognition in Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List, The Peninsula Tokyo represents the height of modern Japanese hospitality.

Surrounding View — Why the Location Matters

The Peninsula Tokyo’s location is intrinsic to its prestige.
Situated at 1-8-1 Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, it stands opposite the Imperial Palace Gardens and adjacent to Hibiya Park, in Tokyo’s cultural and political heart. The hotel sits at the convergence of Ginza’s luxury boutiques, Marunouchi’s financial district, and the Kasumigaseki government quarter.

Guests benefit from unmatched accessibility — a direct underground link to Hibiya Station, a five-minute drive to Tokyo Station, and around 30 minutes to Haneda Airport. This connectivity gives travellers both serenity and speed, allowing them to attend meetings, shop in Ginza, or retreat to tranquillity within minutes.

This strategic balance between commerce, couture, and calm underscores why the property appeals to global executives and high-net-worth leisure travellers alike.
