Luxury just got a new address in Tokyo—and it’s soaring high above the skyline. BELLUSTAR TOKYO, the sleek, sky-high gem from Pan Pacific Hotels, is turning heads and setting a new gold standard for hospitality in Japan’s buzzing capital. Fresh off its win as Best New Hotel (International) at the prestigious TTG China Travel Awards 2025, this newcomer is proving that it’s more than just another high-rise hotel in Shinjuku—it’s a transformative experience.

A Win Worth Celebrating

Every year since 2008, the TTG China Travel Awards have spotlighted standout players across Greater China’s travel and tourism industries. In 2025, BELLUSTAR TOKYO took the spotlight, winning big in the China Outbound Market category—reserved for global hotels that have mastered the art of hosting China’s growing cohort of outbound travelers. For a hotel that only opened its doors in 2023, that’s no small feat.

Luxury Meets Altitude at Tokyo Kabukicho Tower

What makes BELLUSTAR TOKYO a standout? For starters, its location. Perched atop the Tokyo Kabukicho Tower, the hotel delivers jaw-dropping panoramic views of the city from every angle. But the views are just the beginning. Inside, guests are wrapped in serene Japanese elegance: clean lines, rich textures, and a subtle blend of tradition and contemporary flair that speaks volumes without shouting.

And then there’s the exclusivity. The hotel’s Sky Private Villa features five penthouse suites designed for those who crave privacy, style, and the ultimate indulgence. Whether you’re sipping tea above the clouds or winding down in your private onsen-inspired bath, BELLUSTAR TOKYO invites you to rise above the city in more ways than one.

Cuisine, Culture, and Calm—All Under One Roof

Fine dining is part of the journey at BELLUSTAR TOKYO. The hotel boasts a Michelin-level restaurant where traditional Japanese flavors meet avant-garde culinary innovation. The spa, SPA Sunya, is a sanctuary in itself, offering treatments rooted in Japanese wellness traditions—earning accolades of its own for its refined atmosphere and rejuvenating experiences.

It’s this fusion of culture, cuisine, and comfort that continues to draw in global travelers seeking more than just a luxury stay—they want meaning, depth, and connection.

Leading a New Era in Tokyo’s Luxury Hospitality

This latest TTG recognition puts BELLUSTAR TOKYO at the center of a bigger movement. High-end travelers—especially from China and the wider Asia-Pacific—are searching for authentic, premium experiences that blend local culture with uncompromising comfort. In that space, BELLUSTAR has positioned itself as both a haven and a gateway.

Its rise is helping redefine what luxury means in Tokyo, a city already known for its impeccable hospitality. But where other hotels stick to tradition or chase trends, BELLUSTAR TOKYO does both—with balance, poise, and an eye toward the future.

Accolades Keep Rolling In

This isn’t the hotel’s first brush with fame. Since its debut, BELLUSTAR TOKYO has collected a shelf of accolades:

• Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2024: Top 10 City Hotel
• World Luxury Awards 2024: Best Luxury New Hotel in East Asia, Best Architectural Design in East Asia
• MICHELIN Guide Hotel Selection: One MICHELIN Key
• World Luxury Awards 2024: Best Spa Experiences (for SPA Sunya)

Each honor underscores the hotel’s relentless pursuit of excellence—from aesthetics and architecture to service and soul.

A Word from the Visionary Behind the Scenes

General Manager Katsushi Nishikawa attributes the hotel’s success to the passion of his team. “This award is a true honor,” he said, “and it belongs to every member of our team who pours their heart into creating unforgettable moments for our guests.” With an eye on the future, Nishikawa emphasized BELLUSTAR TOKYO’s commitment to raising the bar even higher in the years to come.

What’s Next for BELLUSTAR TOKYO?

As the hotel prepares to celebrate its two-year anniversary on May 19, 2025, it’s already setting sights on the future—refining its offerings, deepening cultural experiences, and welcoming more global guests into its world of sky-high elegance.

BELLUSTAR TOKYO is more than a hotel—it’s a statement. A testament to Tokyo’s evolving luxury landscape and a beacon for travelers who expect the extraordinary.
