TOKYO
DESTINATION OF THE MONTH – 2023
WEEK 4 OF 4
Though the last couple of years has put international travel on pause, the number of hotel developments has shown no signs of slowing down in Tokyo. From fashionable luxury resorts to urban lifestyle hotels, Tokyo’s hotels are diverse and offer something for everyone. They do, however, share one common priority: to help Tokyo to become a leader in sustainability by integrating sustainable practices into their everyday operations.
Tokyo’s ‘old favourites’ are doing their part to contribute to the same goal. Imperial Hotel, which opened its doors in 1890, created an Environmental Committee – years before the advent of SDGs – to oversee its sustainable initiatives, which they later replaced with the Sustainability Management Committee in 2020. The hotel practices sustainability in a variety of fields, including food waste, and resource management whilst providing educational initiatives.
Here are the best new luxury hotels to keep on your clients’ 2023 Tokyo travel radar.
