The 5-room luxury penthouse at the new BELLUSTAR TOKYO, a Pan Pacific Hotel at the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, is the coming together of two unique architecture studios and their philosophies. The honest design of Keiji Ashizawa Design. And the soft minimalism of Norm Architects.

Free from the hustle and bustle of the city 200 meters below, the view is truly spectacular, with views as far as Mt.Fuji. The abundant space and the views from the heart of Tokyo. The luxury of living quietly in the heart of the city can be said to be unparalleled. However, we dedicated ourselves to creating a beautiful, quiet space where guests would forget even the view during their stay.　

BELLUSTAR Restaurant & Bar is the grandest space in Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, facing south. The main dining area has a three-story atrium space and is one with the view of Tokyo. Window seats create the impression of truly blending in with the view, while four-seaters opposite to the windows have large pendant lights brought out from the walls to create a slightly more private atmosphere while enjoying the view. The main seating area for enjoying the view and drinks consists of lounge chairs facing the windows. The main counter is designed to enjoy the view and the arranged drinks by means of a mirror, and the circular lounge sofa is designed for enjoying the talks with one’s gathering, drinks, and the view.

Two restaurants facing west serve teppanyaki and sushi. The counter of teppanyaki “Tenyu” is planned to be zigzagged to create a bit of a private feel for the chef standing at the counter, rather than side by side, while also allowing guests to enjoy the view outside.

At the sushi restaurant “Jin-e”, in eating traditional Edomae Sushi, I believe that the space should be as stripped down and simple just like the sushi itself. Combined with the views, it is a truly unique space.

Located on the top floor of the Kabukicho Tower, “SPA sunya” is available to hotel guests and outsiders alike. Spa time is truly a blissful moment for both relaxation and beauty. Therefore, the view from the treatment rooms and the lounge are designed with the same design language as those of the penthouse hotel, so that guests can enjoy the best relaxation with the best view.

PENTHOUSE Lounge is truly a lounge to enjoy the sunset, and we intended to create a quiet world view by setting low furniture against the high ceiling height and creating a sense of space and privacy through its placement.

Inspired by the beauty of Japan's four seasons, BELLUSTAR Penthouse is named ”Sky" and "Flower, Bird, Wind, and Moon," – a unified worldview manifests across the five penthouses with each their own individual tranquil and unique atmosphere. In collaboration with Norm Architects, the rich materials and beautifully simple details of the space make for a stay that is both relaxing and extraordinary, despite being in the middle of Tokyo. The lighting scheme was carefully placed to avoid glare. We also planned the lighting in such a way that there are shadows in the space. At the same time, we used soft, residential-like light in the penthouse, while we created a slightly more contrasting and glamorous impression in the restaurant area.

Only the landscape and the space should emerge, as you sink into the aesthetics of the space where noise is removed, you will find the mind at ease. We believe that the experience of traveling can bring a sense of wellbeing, both through the exuberance of the city and the quietness of a home. We hope guests will enjoy the quiet and beautiful time and space, both extraordinary and daily, in this top-tier location in the heart of the city and with a splendid view.
