The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, hotel in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan
The Capitol Hotel Tokyu is a modern hotel in central Tokyo standing beside Hie Shrine, offering guests proximity to nature within the city. The 29-story building features spacious rooms with panoramic windows, traditional shoji screens, contemporary amenities, and a quiet, refined atmosphere that merges modern comfort with Japanese design sensibilities.
The hotel was completely rebuilt with modern design by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, who also worked on the new National Stadium for the 2020 Olympics. The building respects its historic setting beside Hie Shrine and demonstrates how contemporary architecture can coexist harmoniously with traditional sites.
The hotel blends Japanese simplicity with contemporary design in ways visitors experience directly. Traditional shoji sliding screens in the rooms, seasonal ingredients in restaurant dishes, and the staff's attentive service reflect Japanese values of harmony and balance.
The hotel sits near two subway stations, Tameike Sanno and Nagatacho, making city access straightforward. Rooms feature spacious bathrooms with rain showers, free Wi-Fi, and safes, while staff speak multiple languages and readily assist with travel planning and local information.
The hotel features monthly-changing flower arrangements in the lobby that showcase seasonal shifts, from camellias in winter to maple leaves in autumn. Artworks throughout, including a gift from a renowned artist, add cultural depth that extends the experience beyond typical hospitality.
