Bulgari Hotel Tokyo: Italian Glamour Meets Japanese Heritage
The new Bulgari Hotel brings Italian design and its iconic brand identity to Japan’s capital, located over five floors of a skyscraper in Tokyo’s Marunouchi District. The hotel not only features exquisitely designed rooms and suites, but a range of amenities and signature dining options, plus the serene Bulgari Spa. It’s the brand’s eighth hotel, which promises the same seamless luxury found in its other properties, with the added touch of Japanese minimalism, etiquette and hospitality while being surrounded by the buzz of the city.
The Offer
Japanese design traditions blend seamlessly with Bulgari elegance throughout the hotel’s interior, such as in the beautiful zen garden, hinoki wood bar and Japanese calligraphy adorning the suites, which mix with the Italian stone and leather to fuse east and west. There are 98 rooms and suites, which include superior, deluxe and the ultimate: the Bulgari Suite. The premium location means all have views over Tokyo Station, designer Italian furniture and details by local craftsmen, such as bed throws by Hosoo.
The hotel also boasts a bar, lounge, gym and 25m swimming pool, which has floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooking the skyline, plus the Bulgari Spa, where multiple treatments, therapies and nutrition options can be tailored to each guest. Dining options are second to none: Il Ristorante - Niko Romito serves a contemporary Italian menu, while Sushi Hōseki offers an exclusive omakase experience created by three Michelin-star chef Kenji Gyoten.

The Location
Bulgari chose a perfect location for their Japanese flagship, overlooking the Imperial Palace and just steps from Tokyo Station. Not only is it easy to reach, but it’s close to the vibrant neighbourhoods of Nihonbashi, Marunouchi, and Ginza, where you can enjoy luxury shopping and local restaurants. This spot also takes in views of Tokyo in all directions while being surrounded by the quieter business district of Yaesu, meaning you get access to the city’s best sights while being able to return to a sanctuary in the clouds.
Who is it For?
As with Bulgari’s other properties, guests here can expect the epitome of a luxury experience. The hotel has spared no expense when it comes to design, amenities or service and visitors of all tastes will appreciate the high attention to detail and personalised hospitality. Guests range from honeymooners to celebrities and those who enjoy the finer things; it’s the ideal residence for anyone who wants the best of everything while staying in the heart of Tokyo. Art & design are also a strong draw, thanks to the sleek Italian features, like hand-blown Venetian glass lighting, Carrara marble and terrazzo tiles, that pair with the Mount Fuji motif and Japanese silk scattered throughout the property.

Sustainability
Despite the extreme luxury on offer, Bulgari is playing its part when it comes to sustainability by using local Japanese materials and craftspeople to create the interiors. They also use paper cartons and glass bottles wherever possible and are phasing out the single-use toiletries in favour of larger bottles, while the rooms have energy-saving sensors and organic teas from Southwest Japan, which are free of pesticides and support a local producer.
