The hotel
A modernist lobby, made twice.
Hotel Okura opened in 1962, and its main lobby, designed by Yoshiro Taniguchi, became famous in its own right. The old building closed in August 2015. When the hotel reopened on 12 September 2019 as The Okura Tokyo, his son Yoshio Taniguchi had recreated that lobby in the new Prestige Tower, for a new generation of guests. The project took four years from closing to reopening.
The site now holds two buildings. The Okura Heritage Wing, 17 storeys, keeps the traditional style, with its own reception and check-in in the room. The Okura Prestige Tower rises 41 storeys, with rooms from the 28th floor up. About half the land is garden, and the Okura Museum of Art, founded in 1917 and holding some 2,500 works, still stands within it, the first privately run art museum in Japan.
