The Okura Tokyo | Classical Japanese Aesthetics and Old Money Style

🏨 Hotel History The Okura Tokyo boasts a long history. Since its opening in 1962, it has been renowned for its unique Japanese 🇯🇵 design style. After renovation in 2019, it skillfully blends modern design 🎨 with traditional Japanese elements. It has hosted many heads of state including Barack Obama and Princess Diana 🫅. Its rich historical heritage makes it a distinguished landmark. 🏠 Hotel Facilities The hotel mainly consists of two towers 🗼, Prestige and Heritage. If I remember correctly from my last stay, I stayed in a Prestige room where I could see Tokyo Tower 🗼 from the bathtub 🛀 while soaking, and even watch TV 📺. Notably, their toiletries 🧴 are of excellent quality with a familiar, delightful perfume scent 😍—I even took a photo of the name to buy it later 🛍️. 💁‍♀️ Hotel Service Housekeeping services are provided twice daily, with turndown service 💁‍♀️ in the evening for light cleaning. Entering the room to find chocolates 🍫 and water 💧 by the bedside, neatly folded bedding corners, and a perfectly placed foot rug instantly relieved fatigue 😫. Their pajamas 👕 are incredibly comfortable, whether made of cotton or linen, offering a soothing, natural-material feel 😌—another item worth purchasing. 📝 Overall Experience Located near Toranomon in Minato Ward, surrounded by business 👔 offices, the hotel 🏨 offers a quiet retreat on a hillside enveloped in greenery 🌳 with excellent security. Some may find it inconvenient due to its distance from subway stations 🚇, making it less ideal for citywalk-focused trips. However, it’s highly recommended 👍 for staycations or those seeking an authentic Japanese 🇯🇵 hotel experience.
