The Soul of the Place — Luxury as Imperial Order

The hotel adopts an imperial posture in the Japanese sense:
mastery, restraint, continuity.
Here, luxury is not a gesture.
It is discipline:
— controlled light,
— clean volumes,
— stable atmospheres,
— warmth measured to the millimeter.
A place that blends the control of a global palace with the finesse of a Tokyo grand hotel.
