Well-versed Beachfront Minimalist Retreat

Against the seductive backdrop of Koh Samui’s Chaweng Beach, The Library reads like an elegant monograph. Owned by Samui native Kasemtham Sornsong and created with designer Tirawan Songsawat, the beachfront hotel—an elegant minimalist structure—is a refreshing and subtle play on the notion of the book.

The expansive grounds provide ample space for guests to flourish, each area representing a blank page on which to write their story. Divided into 26 suite/studio cabins, the complex avoids the monolithic hotel-complex look, scattering discreet buildings in lush vegetation. With its restrained yet sophisticated design, the conceptual resort is unique to the island. Understated and peaceful, The Library narrates a story in which genuine harmony with the neighboring landscape is a tangible achievement. The hotel’s library binds the property; its collection of over 1,400 books, available to borrow, provides a satisfying alternative to modern distractions.

Tranquil moat-side setting opposite the exquisite Imperial Palace gardens.

Palace Hotel Tokyo, a 290-room heir to some of the city’s most exclusive real estate in Marunouchi on a stunning, moat-side setting by the Imperial Palace.

The hotel’s 10 restaurants and bars include Japanese, Chinese and French dining venues with designs on Michelin stars. In a country not otherwise known for its spa culture, the hotel is cutting the ribbon on the first ever
evian® SPA in Japan. And its ownership, management and service standards are Japanese through and through.

 

 

 

 

GUESTROOMS
Its 12 categories of accommodation range from deluxe rooms, at 45 to 55 square metres, to suites that start at 75 square metres and extend to 255 square metres. Most of the rooms feature openstyle bathrooms with separate soaking tubs and showers, and more than half of the rooms and suites have open terraces and balconies. And for good reason. Every guest room in the house features views of Tokyo’s Imperial Palace gardens as well as the surrounding skyline beyond. Each room’s decor invokes the hotel’s proximity to Tokyo’s natural splendour, from the leafy
carpet motifs to the earthy mix of golds and creams. Nature notwithstanding, the rooms pay homage to modern exigencies with complimentary wireless and wired high-speed Internet access,46-inch LCD TVs and Blue-ray/DVD/CD players.

Uniquely Japanese touches to the rooms include the 300-thread count Imabari bed linens and bath towels from Ehime prefecture, and Maruyama Nori teas manufactured in Tokyo’s Tsukiji district.

 

 

 

 

RESTAURANTS & BARS
Palace Hotel Tokyo is shooting for the stars – Michelin stars – with several of its 10 restaurants and bars.

On the hotel’s sixth floor, the original Palace Hotel’s French restaurant, Crown, first opened in 1964, returns as a collaboration with Patrick Henriroux, who has maintained a two-star reputation at La Pyramide in Vienne, France for more than 10 years.

Also on the sixth floor, Michelin two-star Chef Shinji Kanesaka conducts operations at Sushi Kanesaka, one of a quartet of dining options under the Wadakura banner. Named for one of the six moats surrounding the Imperial Palace, Wadakura also offers up a tempura bar called
Tatsumi and Go, an area dedicated to teppanyaki. Likewise, Go references the Imperial Palace’s ‘moat’ and Tatsumi is named for the ancient imperial watchtower visible from the restaurant’s main dining area.

On the fifth floor, Amber Palace plates up Shanghainese and Cantonese cuisines, leveraging the culinary expertise of the Chugoku Hanten Group, the same operator of Tokyo’s two-star Michelin restaurant, Fureika.
Beyond these stellar ambitions, the hotel offers all-day dining in its Grand Kitchen, featuring an eclectic selection inspired by various cuisines. At Sweets & Deli, the hotel’s cake and pastry shop,the chocolate is homemade and the breads freshly baked.

The hotel’s three bars each cultivate a different ambiance. In The Palace Lounge, a contemporary tea house commands the bright lofty space during the day, serving the finest homegrown leaves as well as selections from around the world. Sunset cues its conversion into a
champagne and cocktail bar.

The sixth-floor’s chic Lounge Bar Privé seats 50 inside and half as many on a terrace outside, offering a vantage on Tokyo by day and by night. Downstairs in the Royal Bar, they’re smoking cigars and mixing martinis the old-fashioned way.

The counter in the Royal Bar is a restoration of the 1961 bar designed by ‘Mr.Martini’, the hotel’s very first (and ultimately long-time) bartender, and The Palace Lounge is home to an ivory-keyed Steinway, also original to the 1961-built hotel.

 

 

 

 

SPA & WELLNESS
Occupying 1,200 square metres of space on the fifth floor, the hotel’s evian® SPA will be the first ever in Japan – and a future must for wellness in Tokyo. Its five treatment rooms, one spa suite and separate ladies’ and gentlemen’s relaxation lounge form the heart of the city’s most ambitious new spa. Its gentlemen’s spa area features a heated bath, reclining bath, cold plunge and dry sauna, and the ladies spa area includes a heated bath and marble sauna. The spa’s design is a metaphorical reflection of the journey evian® natural mineral water takes through the Alps, from the loose stone garden at reception signifying the water’s source (mountaintop) to the ceiling of the treatment rooms reflecting ripples in a pond. Inspired by the same, the spa’s menu will encompass treatments themed around celestial restoration, mineral enrichment, precious nourishment and renewed vitality. Products by Omnisens and Anne Semonin will be incorporated throughout.  The Vitalising Signature, a treatment exclusively created for evian® SPA TOKYO, starts off with Japanese trigger point-style bodywork to improve the flow of Qi throughout before a Swedishstyle deep tissue massage is applied to release tension and ‘trigger’ the body to naturally restore its own balance from within.

 

 

 

 

Beyond the spa, the hotel’s fitness facility is open around the clock, featuring exercise equipment by Technogym and Life Fitness. The hotel’s indoor pool is 20 metres long and three lanes wide,and framed on one side by wall-to-wall windows and an outdoor terrace.
