Accor has signed an agreement with World Trade Center Building and Tokyo Tatemono to debut the storied Raffles Hotels & Resorts brand in Japan. Scheduled to open in 2028, Raffles Tokyo will be part of the redevelopment of Tokyo’s iconic World Trade Center (WTC). Slated to occupy the top 46 floors of the WTC building, a landmark in Tokyo since its completion in 1970, Raffles Tokyo will have direct access to Hamamatsuchō train station and will be in close proximity to some of city’s most notable landmarks including Tokyo Tower, the Roppongi Museum, and Rainbow Bridge.
Designed by Layan, the luxury hotel is expected to feature 130 guestrooms, including 27 suites. Facilities will include six F&B outlets, a fitness studio, swimming pool, spa, bathhouse and more than 1,156 sqm of multi-functional meeting and event spaces. “We are delighted to grow the Raffles global family with Raffles Tokyo, which will feature the brand’s world-renowned hallmarks including personalised butler service and an inspiring environment where anything is possible for our guests,” said Omer Acar, CEO, Raffles Hotels & Resorts.
“World Trade Center Building, Inc. and Tokyo Tatemono Co. are likeminded partners that share our vision for delivering luxury hospitality at the highest level, and we look forward to unveiling a new urban icon in one of the world’s most vibrant and culturally significant cities.
