VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

It’s not often that “relaxing” and “Tokyo” are used in the same sentence, but The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo, Autograph Collection makes it possible with its setting among a beautiful five-acre expanse of former royal garden and its emphasis on tranquility and harmony with nature.

Just a three-minute walk from Shinagawa station, The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo was fully renovated in 2013 by eminent local architect Ryu Kosaka of Aoyama Nomura Design, known for his stylish work in hotels and public spaces.

Wa modern (“wa” means “traditional Japanese”) is the concept behind the hotel. This mix extends through both its physical presence — sophisticated contemporary design nuanced with traditional architecture — as well as through its service. It is efficient and welcoming, typical of Japanese omotenashi hospitality.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The library lounge is a standout feature of this luxury hotel. Tucked behind Ciliegio restaurant on the ground level, the room is decked out with comfortable leather lounges, small tables, a bookcase and English newspapers. Snacks and refreshments are on offer.
The wa modern concept allows you to experience traditional shoin-zukuri-style Japanese architecture — bold wooden lines, recessed alcoves, staggered shelves, washi-paper-like design features and kogei (traditional wares) such as elegant vases and ikebana flower arrangements.
The Japanese garden surrounding The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo also provides an authentically traditional experience — lush pine trees, enchanting winding pathways, a rock-lined pond with carp, a shrine and a mon (or gate).
Staff members are warm, attentive, helpful and appreciative. They give the impression that they are genuinely pleased to have you as a guest — a welcome feeling for any traveler.
Fitness fanatics will love the Tokyo hotel’s impressive gym, offering more than 25 types of Technogym equipment, personal trainers, saunas (both dry and mist), a whirlpool and a relaxation lounge with massage chairs to help you unwind post-workout.
