Dorchester Collection has announced plans for its first hotel in Asia, located within Japan’s tallest building. Slated for completion in 2028, the hotel will form part of Tokyo’s Torch Tower, currently under development by Mitsubishi Estate and Tokyo Century Corporation.
Located on the upper floors of the tower with panoramic views of Tokyo Bay and Mount Fuji, the hotel features nature-inspired design motifs throughout its interiors, marking a continuum from the nearby Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden, Hamarikyu Garden and the water of Tokyo Ba. Personal touches and collector’s items such as fine art and antiques will add character and storytelling, establishing a warm residential atmosphere. Visitors can also expect a soothing colour palette and warm lighting that is synonymous with the Dorchester brand.
New for its Asia property, Dorchester Collection is set to debut an indoor garden dubbed Sky Hill, which will serve as an oasis of tranquillity, where residents can immerse their senses in nature and experience the Japanese art of omotenashi – the nation’s own spirit of hospitality and customer service.
“This new development will become a beacon for Japan’s ultra-luxury hotel landscape and set new benchmarks,” comments Christopher Cowdray, CEO at Dorchester Collection. “Worldclass architects will inspire with their symbolic design torch concept, lighting up not only the future of Tokyo and Japan but also the world.”
He continues: “Tokyo has long been an integral part of our growth strategy, given its status a gateway to Asia and its global significance, and to be partnering with the highly esteemed Mitsubishi Estate Co and Tokyo Century Corporation is a true honour.”
Dorchester Collection currently comprises nine hotels across London, Paris, Milan, Rome and Los Angeles, with The Lana scheduled to open in Dubai later this year.
