SH Hotels & Resorts plans to open 1 Hotel Tokyo this year, marking a collaboration with Japanese property developer Mori Trust.

The 211-room property emphasises sustainability and nature-inspired design.
The hotel’s design incorporates Japanese aesthetics and natural elements, featuring moss-covered boulders, plant-lined walls and Oya stone. The 38th-floor main lobby showcases a stone water feature and views of the city while guest rooms blend traditional Japanese design with modern luxury.
Amenities include a Zen
garden-inspired spa, hammam, fitness centre, indoor pool and meeting space. The culinary offerings emphasise Japanese cuisine, with the main restaurant offering views of the Imperial Palace and a bar featuring 360-degree views of Tokyo’s skyline.
