Fairmont Tokyo

Fairmont Tokyo, the first Fairmont Hotel & Resort in Japan, is a luxury hotel featuring 217 guest rooms, including 29 suites, five restaurants, two bars, an outdoor terrace, a sky chapel, and a spa. Located on the upper floors of the Blue Front Shibaura Tower S, it offers magnificent panoramic views of Tokyo and expresses the connection between the city and the waterfront through its spatial design.
Our company was responsible for concept design of the Japanese specialty restaurant on the 36th floor, as well as The View Suite, a suite located on the same floor.

For over 100 years, the Fairmont Hotel & Resort brand has created iconic gathering places that symbolize their respective eras. The mission of "Fairmont Tokyo" was to inherit and develop that legacy, concept design a celebration venue befitting the new era. Regarding The View Suite, we received a request to create a room that could flexibly accommodate special uses such as weddings and events.

Drawing inspiration from the memories of the sea nurtured in Shibaura, we created the following experiential spaces based on the concept of a Japanese specialty restaurant that begins with an approach that reflects the shimmering surface of the water.
 

Restaurants, bars:
The intention was to create a space where three areas share and resonate with the scenery of the sea, elevating the story of the land into a unique spatial experience.
< Bar Area > Underneath the large, sloping roof, delicate columns bathed in light stand out against the night view, positioned to reflect the scenery of the sea onto the large roof.
< Sushi Area> concept design Datekan stone, which has two different appearances, telling a story of the ancient sea and time.
< Iron Plate Area > concept design featuring the seven colors of traditional mother-of-pearl inlay, shimmering quietly.

The View Suite:
This space was designed for special occasions such as weddings and events. As the name suggests, it boasts panoramic views of Tokyo Bay and the city center, with the foyer, living room, and dining room—areas intended for parties—located along the entire window side. On the other hand, the bedroom was intentionally designed as a windowless room, separated by double sliding doors. Drawing inspiration from the history of the Shibaura area, materials and art that evoke water were used, and the private corridor and bathroom feature lighting that resembles a mass of water. The bedroom also features a plaster finish that evokes the surface of water.
Furthermore, with a focus on continuity with the Japanese specialty restaurant, we incorporated Japanese materials. The suspended ceiling, which runs across the space, is adorned with Kanazawa foil such as platinum leaf and tin leaf, which subtly reflect light, giving the space a different impression during the day and night.
