Set to open in March 2026, 1 Hotel Tokyo marks the highly anticipated Asia debut of the nature-led luxury brand 1 Hotels, bringing its biophilic design philosophy to the heart of Japan’s capital.
Occupying the 38th to 43rd floors of the Akasaka Trust Tower, within Mori Trust’s new Tokyo World Gate Akasaka precinct, the hotel offers a calm, nature-infused oasis in one of the world’s most dynamic urban centres, and a compelling new option for meetings, incentives and high-end events in Tokyo.
A nature-led approach to urban luxury
Greenery and natural materials feature throughout the property from ground-floor arrival to the sky-high lobby on the 38th floor, where sweeping views take in the Imperial Palace gardens, Tokyo Tower and the city skyline.
Design details draw heavily on Japanese craftsmanship, blending recycled timber, Oya stone and textured finishes.
The hotel features 211 rooms, including 20 suites and a collection of penthouse accommodations. Each room is designed as a restorative retreat, incorporating sustainable materials, curated greenery and locally crafted décor.

Food, drink and social spaces
Food and beverage experiences are centred around seasonality and low-waste principles. The signature restaurant blends the flavours of the French Riviera with Japanese refinement, while the Lobby Lounge & Bar serves as an all-day social hub, transitioning from casual daytime dining to an evening cocktail destination inspired by Japanese gin culture.
For more informal moments, the Neighbors Café offers plant-forward dishes, artisanal coffee and grab-and-go options, designed to appeal equally to guests and the local community.

Events with impact
For planners, 1 Hotel Tokyo offers more than 460 square metres of flexible meeting and event space, including the Sakura and Camellia rooms on the 38th floor. These light-filled spaces combine panoramic city views with adaptable layouts, making them suitable for everything from executive meetings to private celebrations.
All events are supported through the brand’s Certified Sustainable Gatherings programme, which prioritises zero-waste planning, local sourcing and transparent environmental reporting – aligning with the growing demand for responsible events without compromising on experience.
Wellness & sustainability
Wellness is woven throughout the property, from the spa’s holistic treatment menu to a 24-hour fitness space and a light-filled indoor pool with access to an outdoor deck planted to support urban biodiversity.
Sustainability is not presented as an add-on, but as a foundational principle. The hotel has already achieved Japan’s highest CASBEE S environmental rating, with smart energy systems, water conservation measures and zero-waste kitchen practices built into daily operations. Reclaimed materials and locally made artworks further reinforce the hotel’s planet-first ethos.

Why planners should take note
With its elevated design, strong sustainability credentials and flexible event offering, 1 Hotel Tokyo is poised to become an exciting choice for incentive groups, leadership retreats and high-end meetings seeking a venue that reflects modern values as much as modern luxury.
