Old Imperial Bar

Ginza & Tsukiji


This is one of the few parts of the Imperial Hotel to feature some of the designs and materials used in the original 1923 Frank Lloyd Wright building (note the architectural drawing behind the cash desk). The vintage early 20th-century interior suits the menu of classic cocktails (around ¥1500, plust 10% service charge).

There's no seating charge, but 10% service is added to the bill.
