Nursery Works is a purveyor of cutting-edge juvenile products. Created for the ultra-chic, Nursery Works aims to bring high design into the nursery. Our designers work, whenever possible, in close collaboration with highly skilled American craftspeople to build each piece, and our products are made in low production runs that allow us to employ methods and materials that would be unavailable in typical mass production.

In addition, many of our solid wood cribs are bench-made in Los Angeles using traditional joinery techniques that cannot be accomplished in mass production.
A safe space to sleep isn’t complete until we have an equally safe mattress. One of our ultimate nursery must-haves is the Pure Core or Coco Core mattresses from the Pure by Babyletto brand. It’s a line of exclusively non-toxic mattresses containing only the purest ingredients. These mattress are free of glues, dyes, chemical flame retardants, foam, vinyl, allergens, phthalates, PFCs, synthetic latex, and off-gassing materials.

Palace Hotel tokyo www.en.palacehoteltokyo.com
STAY Palace Hotel Tokyo gets its name from its location: the hotel is moat-side across from the Imperial Palace gardens. Opened in May 2012, Palace Hotel Tokyo is a “new haven of hospitality—serene and refined and imbued with understated luxury throughout.” Leafy carpets and an earthy color palette can be found throughout the 278 rooms and 12 suites, all taking inspiration from the Imperial Palace gardens.
Sweeping views make the Park suite a must for those who enjoy the skyline, while the Terrace suite offers a sizable terrace from which to enjoy your daily meals. The pinnacle of luxury is found in the Palace suite. Sumptuous and elegant, you’ll feel like modern royalty in the chicly outfitted space.
Each room has open-style bathrooms and floor to ceiling windows also featuring Japanese textiles and artwork, celebrating the country’s culture. For a unique experience, book the singular Chiyoda suite. Located on the topmost floor, this suite is located in the southwest so the room is flooded with light during the day. A wet-room style bathroom outfitted in izu stone will make even a quick shower feel like a spa experience. The two more commonly used suites are the Park and Terrace suites.

evian® SPA TOKYO is designed to reflect the journey the water takes through the Alps. Starting at the stone garden at reception that signifies “the water’s source of a mountaintop” to the rippled ceiling in the treatment rooms, the theme of natural and organic is echoed throughout. Treatments are named “celestial” and “precious,” continuing that connectedness. Try the ritual experiences for two and a half hours of bliss.
Exclusivity is everything for some restaurants at the Palace Hotel Tokyo. Tatsumi is a tempura bar that seats only six people. GO is a teppanyaki restaurant that has two grills, each in a private room. The rest of the restaurants are less selective, but have the same amount of care and attention devoted to their food. Whether you enjoy fine French food at Crown or a meal at Sushi Kanesaka, your dining experience promises to be filled with delicious and innovative flavors.
