Luxury travel inspiration from the Asia-Pacific region

<p>Sky-high views and exquisitely curated artwork are hallmarks of this gleaming property in the Nagatacho business district. Both await arriving guests as they step onto the hotel’s 36th-floor elevator lobby, which overlooks an atrium lounge where nine-meter-high windows showcasing the Tokyo cityscape are framed by an illuminated, waterfall-like glass installation by Yokohama-born artist Mari Noguchi. Talk about rising to the occasion.</p>
<p>Location-wise, The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho makes a fine base for accessing the rest of the Japanese capital. Flanked by the Akasaka and Imperial palaces, its 250 rooms occupy the top seven floors of the main tower of Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho, a landmark complex of offices, shops, and luxury residences that opened in 2016. Directly connected to Nagatacho Station, the site, formerly the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, is also home to the Classic House at Akasaka Prince, a restored 1930s mansion that was once the residence of the royal family. Today it accommodates the hotel’s banquet and wedding functions.</p>
<p>The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho is otherwise as contemporary as can be. Designed by Rockwell Group Europe, its interiors are quietly plush with rooms and suites featuring alcove windows, blond wood furnishings, and tufted-leather walls. (Yukata robes and luxe bath amenities by BYREDO are nice touches.) References to nature and allusions to levitation appear throughout the public spaces and in art pieces by dozens of Japanese artists. Even the reception desks and sofas appear to float in the air, a trick of their resting atop mirrored bases.</p>

<p>Just as appealing are the hotel’s restaurants, starting with WASHOKU SOUTEN, which offers traditional Japanese cuisine in a contemporary style amid crystal-and-ice interiors. Located on the topmost floor is garden-themed All-Day Dining OASIS GARDEN for Mediterranean dishes and a sustainable menu that is vegan and food-loss friendly. The two bars, The Bar illumiid and Sky Gallery Lounge Levita, offer their own distinctive settings: the former is a sophisticated space for old-school drinks and a fine selection of Japanese whiskey, while the latter provides a lively, stylish setting for kaleidoscopic views of Tokyo.</p>
<p>But for all The Prince Gallery’s myriad indulgences, it’s hard to beat the simple luxury of taking a nighttime dip in the stone-lined hot and cold baths at Spa Kioi, with the glittering lights of Tokyo spread out some 140 meters below.</p>
