JAPAN will welcome its first bulgari hotel by the end of 2022. The bulgari hotel Tokyo will occupy the top seven floors – 39th to 45th – of an ultra-skyscraper planned for the Tokyo Station area.

The project is a partnershi­p between bulgari and leading global real-estate company Mitsui Fudosan. bulgari chief executive officer Jean Christophe babin said the opening of the property will be a major milestone for the luxury company.

“Japan is such a strategic market where bulgari as a brand has been present for 30 years. Jewellery and hospitalit­y combine perfectly to meet bulgari’s clients expectatio­ns of a high level of service not only in our brand stores, but also when staying in our extraordin­ary properties offering luxury services,” he said.

As with all other bulgari hotels, the one in Tokyo will be designed by the Italian architectu­ral firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. The hotel will offer 98 guest rooms in a variety of configurat­ions, mainly twin and double rooms, as well as luxury suites.

The hotel will be located in a very central and convenient area at a walking distance to some of the best attraction­s around such as the Imperial Palace and the vibrant shopping areas of both Nihombashi and Ginza.

Its proximity to the Tokyo Station and the financial districts of Nihombashi and Marunouchi makes it an ideal destinatio­n for business as well.

bulgari hotels and Resorts is a collection of luxury hotels, and currently includes properties in Milan, London, bali, beijing and Dubai.
