When the maestros of high jewellery and the senseis of high style decided to facet a lofty palazzo and guild it with brush strokes of zen, we knew nothing would be lost in translation. Bvlgari’s showstopping bella figura casts its bejewelled gaze 45 storeys above central Yaesu, with Tokyo Station below, the moated Imperial Palace and Fuji-san beyond. Within, Venetian glass mosaics glimmer while Hosoo silk threads gleam throughout this temple of refinement with its 98 exquisitely rendered rooms and suites, extending skyward to the 25-meter rooftop pool, beckoning with its beguiling cloud-sea of ever-so-pale emeralds.
Best time to visit : Spring (March, April) and Autumn (October, November)
We have become devotees of studio Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, entrusted with transplanting the essence of Roman Holiday to the land of the Rising Sun. Beliisima and bravura are subtly deepened with time-honoured Shibui, personified in the ethereal indoor-outdoor Bvlgari Bar, where fragrant lemon and yuzu trees bookend a tessellated, multihued mural depicting a botanical arcadia. Do we sound like we’re in love? Hai, assolutamente!
Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo’s interior design has been entrusted to the Italian architectural firm ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel who conveyed Bvlgari’s core values of contemporary design, magnificent craftsmanship and artistic detail to create efficient living spaces.
