Enjoy Rarefied Urban Luxury in the Centre of Shinjuku Kabukicho at BELLUSTAR TOKYO, A Pan Pacific Hotel

SINCE MAY 2023, BELLUSTAR TOKYO, A Pan Pacific Hotel, has crowned the TOKYU KABUKICHO TOWER in Shinjuku’s dynamic Kabukicho district. 

This sophisticated urban retreat presides over the city’s hustle and bustle from the tower’s uppermost levels, providing an elevated sanctuary above Tokyo’s energetic streets. While the tower’s lower floors pulse with entertainment venues, including live theatres and an impressive collection of works by 26 contemporary artists, tranquillity reigns in the guest accommodations positioned from the 39th floor upward.

These thoughtfully designed spaces seamlessly blend Japanese cultural elements with city views so spectacular that you won’t want to close the curtains. BELLUSTAR TOKYO’s crowning glory lies in its Sky Private Villa, occupying the building’s summit, where guests discover an extraordinary 360-degree panorama of Tokyo’s skyline.

This rarefied space houses five exclusive penthouses, a spa celebrating Japan’s natural elements, and exceptional dining experiences in an unmatched setting, offering visitors a chance to find serenity while floating above the metropolis.

A Sanctuary within the City

BELLUSTAR TOKYO elevates hospitality to an art form across its carefully curated spaces, from the serene SPA sunya to the sophisticated Sunset Lounge and the exclusive Teppan Ten-yu restaurant.

The Bellustar Penthouse offers an oasis of relaxation, providing respite from Shinjuku’s vibrant energy. This thoughtfully designed sanctuary uses neutral tones to create a peaceful haven for reflection and rejuvenation above the urban landscape.

Each accommodation seamlessly integrates Japanese cultural elements, featuring dramatic 7-meter windows that frame Tokyo’s spectacular skyline. The elevated position ensures unmatched city views while providing generous spaces for unwinding in luxurious comfort.

Strategically located in Tokyo’s heart, guests sit at the centre of urban excitement, with easy access to an impressive array of 7,000-plus dining and drinking establishments. The historic “Omoide Yokocho” drinking district lies just five minutes away, offering authentic local experiences in easy reach.

Private Villas in the Sky

At BELLUSTAR TOKYO, five distinguished penthouse suites embody the finest traditions of Japanese Omotenashi hospitality.

Occupying the 45th through 47th floors, this exclusive “Private Villa in the Sky” concept integrates premium accommodations with innovative dining and wellness experiences.

The spaces reflect the harmonious collaboration between Keiji Ashizawa’s earnest design approach and Norm Architects’ soft minimalism, enhanced by Karimoku’s elegant furnishings. Rising 200 metres above Tokyo, each uniquely designed suite features gentle colour palettes and refined textures, creating havens of peace. 

While spectacular vistas from the hotel extend as far as Mount Fuji, the interiors’ serene atmosphere captures attention. Restaurant Bellustar and SPA sunya complete this elevated experience with customizable offerings. Upon reaching the uppermost floors, guests enter a realm of sophisticated calm, where meticulous attention to detail and subtle refinement permeate every aspect. This seamless fusion of traditional Japanese elements with modern comfort ensures an extraordinary escape.

The 45th-floor venue crafts visually stunning sippables that merge entertainment with expertise, delivering theatrical presentations that thrill guests. The bar’s signature Bellustar Journeys program showcases the artful collaboration between bartender and chef, creating thoughtfully curated pairings that celebrate the harmony between spirits and local ingredients. 

In this seventh round of the journeys, the hotel is offering a pairing set of TOKYU HOTELS’ original whisky, a single malt special edition GOTOH exclusive from KOMAGATAKE.
