TOKYO | Palace Hotel Tokyo has become one of Japan’s most loved hotels since its unveiling in 2012. MICHELIN Guide has awarded it Three Keys for its achievements exceeding the guide’s benchmarks for delivering the world’s most ‘extraordinary stay’ experiences.
As one of only three properties in Tokyo to receive MICHELIN Guide’s highest distinction, Palace Hotel Tokyo has continued to elevate its status as the only Japanese-brand hotel to receive such elite standing in addition to the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating, which it has held for nine consecutive years as well as the Five-Star rating achieved earlier this year by its evian SPA TOKYO (as one of only four in Japan).
“For decades, MICHELIN Star ratings have stood for exceptionalism, offering highly respected expertise and guidance to gourmands the world over on the most revered dining experiences to be had,” said Senior Managing Director and General Manager Masaru Watanabe.
“To now receive recognition not only for our dining offerings but also our hotel from one of the world’s most distinguished arbiters of excellence in hospitality is an incredible honour.”
Described by MICHELIN as “places that significantly add to your experience as a traveller,” each key-rated property has been meticulously and anonymously vetted and judged based on categories such as architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, personality and character, and contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting.
“As an independent hotel that’s worked tirelessly to establish its place in the ever-competitive global luxury hotel industry, it’s significant to us – as a brand and as a team – to achieve such a prestigious distinction,” said Watanabe.
“Our Michelin Three Keys will strengthen our resolve to continuously elevate the hospitality that Palace Hotel Tokyo offers as we welcome travellers searching for the best of the best.”
Located in the capital’s prestigious Marunouchi district, the property features 284 rooms and suites, an Evian SPA, and ten distinctive restaurants and bars. These include an exquisite range of Japanese cuisines, fine dining Shanghainese and Cantonese at MICHELIN One-Star Amber Palace, and contemporary French haute cuisine at MICHELIN One-Star Esterre in partnership with DUCASSE Paris.
Drawing deeply from the country’s history, culture and art, Palace Hotel Tokyo continues to redefine luxury in Japan with sophistication and authenticity.
