Hotel Indigo, part of IHG Hotels and Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle collection, has announced the opening of its fourth property in Japan in the vibrant capital city of Tokyo. Together with Pan Pacific International Holdings Corporation, the neighbourhood-inspired Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya has opened its doors in one of Tokyo’s most well-known areas near the iconic Shibuya Crossing.
Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya has drawn its neighbourhood inspiration from the colourful and dynamic urban jungle surrounding Shibuya. Labelled as a ‘kaleidoscopic urban jungle’, the area has set the scene for the hotel’s design with striking, fashion-led artworks throughout the 12th-floor reception area, each adorned with denim and leather motifs in a nod to Shibuya’s rich fashion culture. Linear design features drawn from Shibuya's well-known and much-photographed Scramble Crossing are woven throughout the hotel's public areas.
The 272-room hotel features a unique selection of vinyl records in each guestroom, which has paid homage to Shibuya’s music culture, and offers sensational views of Tokyo Skytree and Mount Fuji on a clear day.
With arts and entertainment at the core of the neighbourhood, the hotel’s newly opened restaurant, Gallery 11, further celebrates the rich culture with fascinating artworks that adorn its walls to capture Shibuya's eclectic spirit. Diners can expect a feast for the senses with Gallery 11 serving up a fusion of delectable Mediterranean cuisine with a Japanese twist using the freshest local and seasonal ingredients to create unforgettable menu flavours.
Before heading out for a day of exploring, shopping, or work, guests can drop into Shibrewya, the hotel’s neighbourhood café, for a freshly brewed cup of original roast coffee and Instagrammable waffles shaped like Hachiko, Shibuya’s famous and beloved Akita dog, whose statue stands tall in the centre of the area.
General Manager of Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya, Rebecca Thorn, said the opening was a proud moment for the company.
“Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya is a celebration of one of the world's most diverse, ever-evolving neighbourhoods. Our hotel brings to life Shibuya's culture of art, fashion, music and design, and we can't wait to share our stories. We are certain that our guests will discover new and exciting experiences in Shibuya," said Thorn.
In 2024, the Hotel Indigo brand is set to open in the southern Japanese city of Nagasaki.
