The Michelin Guide awarded three keys to Japan’s Palace Hotel Tokyo in recognition of its achievements in delivering exquisite and unforgettable stay experiences to its guests.

One of only three properties in Tokyo to receive the Guide’s highest distinction, Palace Hotel Tokyo continues to elevate its enviable status as the only Japanese-brand hotel to receive such elite standing. 

Prior to this distinction, the hotel also received the Forbes Travel Guide’s five-star rating, a distinction it has held for nine consecutive years.

Earlier this year, its evian SPA TOKYO also received a coveted five-star rating.

An incredible honour

Masaru Watanabe, Palace Hotel Tokyo’s senior managing director and general manager remarked that Michelin Star ratings stand for greatness in the field of gastronomy, awarded only to establishments offering the most revered dining experiences to be had.

For the Palace Hotel Tokyo to receive three Michelin Keys in recognition of its amenities and services on top of its excellent dining options from one of the world’s most distinguished arbiters of excellence in hospitality is an incredible honour.

Watanabe said: “As an independent hotel that’s worked tirelessly to establish its place in the ever-competitive global luxury hotel industry, it’s especially meaningful to us, as a brand and as a team, to achieve such a prestigious distinction. Our three Michelin Keys will further strengthen our resolve to continuously elevate the level of hospitality that Palace Hotel Tokyo offers as we welcome travellers in search of the best of the best.”
