Beyond the expected in Tokyo.
Tokyo is vast in scale, but few cities have played a greater role in shaping Japan’s culture, creativity and global identity.
Today, the city’s most compelling experiences are being shaped by a new generation of hospitality leaders, cultural curators and destination specialists who are redefining what luxury means for modern travellers.
Joining Connections Luxury Asia Pacific 2026 in Osaka, these Tokyo-based brands bring their distinct perspectives on Japanese luxury to the event. From exceptional hospitality to immersive experiences, each offers a unique insight into the creativity, craftsmanship and service that define contemporary luxury in Japan.
The Tokyo Station Hotel
Where time becomes the ultimate luxury
In a world obsessed with what's new, The Tokyo Station Hotel offers something increasingly rare: a connection to time itself.
Located within Tokyo's historic Marunouchi Station Building, the hotel has welcomed travellers since 1915 and stands as one of the city's most significant cultural landmarks. Rather than simply preserving history, it transforms it into an experience, allowing guests to become part of a story that spans more than a century. Today, the hotel is more than accommodation; it's a living piece of Tokyo's history.
Dining experiences at The Tokyo Station Hotel? The Tokyo Station Hotel offers a diverse range of dining experiences, from fine dining and authentic Japanese cuisine to Cantonese, Italian, and afternoon tea. Its 10 dining venues include Blanc Rouge, Shichi Jyu Ni Kou, Sushi Asanogawa, Cantonese En, Yakitori Seo, Enoteca Norio, Camellia, Oak, The Lobby Lounge, and Toraya Tokyo, making it a destination for both sophisticated dining and more relaxed experiences.

Bellustar Tokyo, A Pan Pacific Hotel
Finding silence in one of the world’s busiest cities
Tokyo is famous for its energy, yet Bellustar Tokyo has built its identity around the opposite concept: stillness.
Rising 200 metres above Shinjuku, the hotel has created a sanctuary above the city, where panoramic views, Japanese-inspired interiors and elevated wellness experiences encourage guests to disconnect from the noise below. Its philosophy centres on creating a private retreat in the sky, allowing travellers to experience Tokyo from a perspective few ever see.
In an era where luxury is increasingly measured by privacy and wellbeing, the hotel demonstrates that sometimes the greatest indulgence is simply space to breathe.
Spa experience at Bellustar Tokyo? SPA sunya at the hotel offers a serene wellness escape. Inspired by the Sanskrit word for “sky”, the spa combines panoramic views with personalised treatments using seasonal, natural ingredients from across Japan, including Japanese aromatherapy, hot stone and herbal ball massages, facials, private baths and meditation experiences. It has earned significant international recognition, including three World Luxury Awards in 2024 and a further three awards in 2025. Find out more.
