Tokyo | May 15, 2026 – Rosewood has announced plans for Rosewood Tokyo, a landmark project joining its global portfolio and a major milestone in the brand’s expansion across Asia Pacific. Set in the heart of Roppongi, the project will seamlessly bring together culture, craftsmanship, and creativity to create a new icon in Japan’s capital. Developed in partnership with Mori Building Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Realty & Development Co., Ltd., Rosewood Tokyo will be Rosewood’s first urban hotel in Japan and a symbol of the brand’s long-term commitment to the Japanese market. Following the celebrated 2025 debut of Rosewood Miyakojima, the announcement underscores Rosewood’s firm confidence in Japan’s enduring cultural and economic value. The Roppongi 5-Chome Project, located in central Tokyo, will be one of the area’s most ambitious mixed-use developments, redefining Roppongi as a global hub for culture, commerce, and contemporary lifestyle. At its core, Rosewood Tokyo will bring Rosewood’s signature A Sense of Place® philosophy to one of Tokyo’s most prestigious and strategically important districts. Directly connected to Roppongi Station, the Roppongi 5-Chome development will introduce a new high-rise tower that makes a striking addition to Tokyo’s skyline. Rosewood Tokyo will be located within one of Japan’s tallest-class skyscrapers. The transformative project will create a compact city integrating an ultra-luxury hotel, residences, curated retail, and international-standard offices. More than a landmark, Rosewood Tokyo will embody Tokyo’s distinctive harmony of refinement and creativity, establishing Roppongi as the ultimate address representing the next generation of the city. Rosewood Tokyo will feature approximately 200 elegantly designed rooms and suites, ranging from comfortable and functional standard rooms to spacious three-bedroom suites. It will also introduce multiple distinctive dining and bar concepts, each designed as a destination in its own right and rooted in Tokyo’s culinary culture of seasonality, artistry, and refined aesthetics. Guests will have access to Rosewood’s signature Manor Club, the Asaya wellbeing concept with treatment rooms, and state-of-the-art fitness and yoga facilities. The hotel will also offer an indoor pool and versatile event spaces, including a grand ballroom suited for international gatherings, providing a range of venues that foster connection with Tokyo’s vibrant cultural and business communities. Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group, said: “We are very proud to announce Rosewood Tokyo as a strategic expansion that further strengthens Rosewood’s commitment to Japan. Guided by Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy, Rosewood Tokyo will celebrate Tokyo’s cultural depth in one of the world’s most influential global capitals while delivering distinctive experiences rooted in the local destination.” Shingo Tsuji, President and CEO of Mori Building Co., Ltd., said: “Mori Building is delighted to welcome Rosewood to Tokyo through this partnership. The Roppongi 5-Chome Project is the ideal project to realize the hotel’s long-held goal of entering Tokyo. We are confident that the arrival of Rosewood Tokyo will create new value in Japan’s luxury market and contribute to further enhancing the international competitiveness of the capital city.” Hiroyuki Nijima, President and CEO of Sumitomo Realty & Development Co., Ltd., said: “Sumitomo Realty & Development is very pleased to create new value together with Rosewood in the Roppongi 5-Chome plan. This project is a large-scale development symbolizing the Tokyo of the future, and we are confident that the hotel’s worldview and hospitality will further elevate its value, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind presence that captivates the world.” The debut of Rosewood Tokyo marks a highly significant evolution of the brand’s presence in Japan, complementing the serene, nature-immersed experience of Rosewood Miyakojima with a clearly urban perspective.
