An architectural and cultural manifesto of modernity, underpinned by the philosophy of omotenashi\u2014hospitality with soul\u2014has sustained its reputation for over a century. Its rooms have witnessed history: Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Helen Keller, and Babe Ruth, among others, have passed through its doors; and in 2012, it hosted the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Imperial Hotel Tokyo, the brand&#8217;s flagship hotel, continues to beat in the heart of the capital. There, Frank Lloyd Wright&#8217;s earthquake-resistant vision saved the building from the Great Kanto Earthquake on the day of its opening in 1923, giving rise to the legendary &#8220;Jewel of the Orient.&#8221; Today, its spirit lives on in a continuous metamorphosis: 909 rooms and suites are being reimagined as part of the ambitious Tokyo Cross Park project, with a new main building designed by Tsuyoshi Tane (ATTA). Sustainability guides this new era: 100% CO\u2082-free energy, a drastic reduction in plastics, vegan cuisine, and certifications such as VERIFIED&#x2122; by Forbes Travel Guide and 5 Sakura, the highest ESG standard for Japanese tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond Tokyo, the group cultivates its legacy in locations that are destinations in themselves: Imperial Hotel, Kamikochi an alpine retreat for poets and nature lovers since 1933, with carbon-neutral and circular economy initiatives; and Imperial Hotel, Osaka, a sophisticated retreat by the Okawa River, celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026 and participating in TEAM EXPO 2025 to drive sustainable innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next jewel in the crown will be Imperial Hotel, Kyoto, a monumental restoration of the historic Yasaka Kaikan (1936) in the heart of Gion. Rescuing 16,387 original tiles and employing techniques such as ikedori\u2014artisanal extraction and reuse\u2014the building is reborn as a 55-room boutique hotel designed by Obayashi Corporation leading exteriors and interiors by architect Tomoyuki Sakakida of New Material Research Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its philosophy: &#8220;The old is new.&#8221; Its spaces fuse the essence of classic Japan with refined contemporary luxury: a spa, pool, restaurant, and a bar designed to become a benchmark on the international scene. Part of The Leading Hotels of the World, it is more than a hotel: it is a living piece of Japanese history reinvented for the 21st-century traveler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
