Looking for a taste of Japanese luxury like you’ve never experienced before? Let me whisk you away to the JAXURY Palace Hotel Tokyo, perfectly situated in the buzzing heart of a city where cutting-edge style mingles with centuries-old craftsmanship.
Hot off the heels of the highly praised ‘Best of Japan’ series, Palace Hotel Tokyo has just revealed its newest showstopper—a stay that elegantly combines time-honoured tradition with impeccable modern hospitality.
Born from the pioneering research at Keio University’s Authentic Luxury Lab in 2021, the JAXURY Consortium embarks on an annual quest to spotlight brands that celebrate the exquisite interplay of nature, humanity, and masterful design.
This year, for the fifth consecutive time, Palace Hotel Tokyo has been recognised for embodying “Japan’s Authentic Luxury.”
“With its understated elegance and heartfelt commitment to its guests, the hotel was the natural choice for the sophisticated experience that I envisioned,” remarked JAXURY Executive Producer Kumiko Yoshioka.
“It makes for the perfect setting in which to showcase the selection of brands I’ve meticulously curated to illustrate how the beauty in everyday products – from form to function – can truly enrich people’s lives.”
Step into one of the hotel’s coveted balcony rooms, where every detail is curated to delight your senses. Here, guests are greeted by exquisitely handcrafted lanterns and an objet d’art mirror by Time & Style, a glass speaker by Sony that sings with clarity, and organic comforts from TENERITA—from eye mask to slippers and throw blanket.
Elegant woodwork by Azmaya and cushions adorned with Nishijin textiles by HOSOO complete this sensory celebration.
Beyond the room, a series of exclusive experiences awaits. At Wadakura, the hotel’s signature Japanese restaurant, a JAXURY prix-fixe kaiseki dinner elevates culinary artistry with lacquerware by Nishimura Keikou Urushi, pottery by Asahiyaki, woodwork by Nakagawa Mokkougei, and porcelainware by Kinzangama.
Palate cleansers include wine from Grace Wine in Yamanashi and tea by Ippodo, ensuring each course is a harmonious interlude.
The celebration continues at Lounge Bar Privé, where an original JAXURY cocktail—paired with traditional wagashi by Higashiya—prepares you for a later rendezvous at The Palace Lounge, featuring Suntory’s signature single-malt Yamazaki whisky paired with artisanal chocolate by Maison Cacao, all enjoyed with reserved piano-side seating and live jazz.
For those who relish a bit of adventure, the optional off-site excursions are your gateway to really immersing yourself in Japan’s colourful cultural mosaic.
