Retreats, which are meant to get away from daily life and reset the mind and body, are usually held in locations surrounded by nature, such as mountains or the sea. However, the hotel, located in a prestigious location near the Koishikawa Korakuen Garden, has created a special space that makes the most of the view from its high-rise floors.
The design of the hotel is a refreshing change from the image of the Tokyo Dome Hotel to date. Artwork depicting the three motifs of the Tokyo Dome City’s entertainment, plants in Korakuen Garden, and Yayoi earthenware excavated in the town of Bunkyo-ku, are placed throughout the rooms and lounges on the executive floor.
