Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, Former luxury hotel in Kioicho, Japan
The Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, designed by architect Kenzō Tange, featured 39 floors and an aluminum and glass facade in central Tokyo.
The site originally contained the Kitashirakawa Palace from 1930, which served as residence for Yi Un, the last crown prince of Korea.
The hotel functioned as a central meeting point for Japanese politicians due to its location near the National Diet buildings.
The building underwent demolition in 2013 using the top-down Taisei Ecological Reproduction System to minimize environmental impact.
During the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake aftermath, the hotel provided temporary accommodation for Fukushima evacuees before its final closure.
