Slated to occupy the top 46 floors of the WTC building, a landmark in Tokyo since its completion in 1970, the hotel will be in close proximity to some of city’s most notable landmarks including Tokyo Tower, the Roppongi Museum, and Rainbow Bridge, in addition to direct access to Hamamatsuchō station.
Designed by Layan and with sweeping panoramic city views taking center stage, the hotel is expected to feature 130 guestrooms, including 27 suites. Accor says the Raffles Tokyo is set to become “its own distinct destination within the vibrant metropolis”.
We are very pleased to welcome Accor Group, a world-class hotel operator, as our partner. Hamamatsucho is a major business hub in Tokyo, and with easy access to the Shinkansen bullet train and airport, it is an extremely convenient area for both domestic and international visitors. We are confident that the development of Raffles Tokyo in collaboration with Tokyo Tatemono at the landmark World Trade Center Building in Hamamatsucho will further enhance Hamamatsucho’s appeal and provide an even more special stay experience for both business and leisure travelers.
Chikao Miyazaki, President, World Trade Center Building, Inc said.
The hotel will feature six food and beverage outlets, as well as a fitness studio, swimming pool, and spa and bathhouse. The hotel will also offer more than 1156 square meters of multi-functional meeting spaces and facilities.
