Information

of the hotel there is a full scale artwork of Godzilla’s head peering over the terrace... now that’s spooky!

Japanese pop culture is an intriguing phenomenon that has reached far beyond the Land of the Rising Sun and, unless you have been living underneath a rock, we are all familiar with a certain ubiquitous kitty. Immerse yourself in all things pink and princess in one of the two Hello Kitty-themed rooms at Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo. In the Kitty Town room everything from floor to ceiling is decorated in ode to the plush puss, including the vibrant pop-art wallpaper. The Princess Kitty room, on the other hand, is as pink as pink can be with lavish high chairs, rose-printed carpets and a 3D Hello Kitty headboard. The cute factor is all in the detail, with each room including special touches like lipstick-signed bathroom mirrors, a lavender bathtub and Hello Kitty humidifier, kettle, scales, hairdryer, mineral water, stationery sets and dolls.

What child doesn’t love Snoopy and his good natured ‘happy dance’? In the Hibiya area, the Imperial Hotel Tokyo is offering guests the ‘SNOOPY Plan’, a themed room with original furniture, décor and amenities, from bathrobes to slippers, bed throws to cushions, mugs and coasters. We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the hotel makes it even more special with the Grand Chef SNOOPY package where little guests can enjoy a pup-themed bento, pots and saucers… even the bread is shaped to look like the dog’s head. www.gotokyo.org/en
