Imperial Hotel, Tokyo: A Pillar of Japanese Hospitality Since 1890

The Imperial Hotel, Tokyo has stood facing Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace gardens since 1890, one of the most storied hotels in Japan and a Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader. Its history includes a celebrated Frank Lloyd Wright building, and its service remains a national benchmark.

The dining alone spans a small city. Les Saisons is one of Tokyo's finest French rooms, led by chef Thierry Voisin of the multi-Michelin-starred Les Crayères; Tokyo Nadaman serves kaiseki in an interior by architect Togo Murano; Nakata pours traditional Tokyo sushi; Kamon handles teppanyaki; and the Imperial Viking Sal, Japan's first buffet restaurant, opened here in 1958. Parkside Diner, San Applause and Torakuro complete the roster.

For a first stay in Tokyo steeped in history, the Imperial has no equal.
