The Okura Tokyo

Top choice in Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


The beloved original 1962 hotel was demolished to make way for a new building that opened in 2019. The Ōkura's rooms are bright, and large, with tasteful Japanese design touches. The public areas ooze retro glamour and service is courteous to a fault.
