The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho has a more specific identity than its high-floor address suggests. Guest-room windows are framed like pictures, desks and shelving appear to float, and a green glass waterfall drops through the nine-metre atrium of Sky Gallery Lounge Levita. The word “Gallery” refers to the way the hotel places Tokyo’s skyline, art and interior design in the same composition.
The hotel occupies floors 30 to 36 of Kioi Tower at Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho. Below the contemporary tower stands Akasaka Prince Classic House, preserving the former residence of Korea’s Yi royal family on the site once occupied by the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka. The contrast between the tower and the historic house gives this hotel a sense of place that cannot be reproduced elsewhere in Tokyo.

A Modern Tower on the Former Akasaka Prince Site
Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho was developed on the former Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka site. Akasaka Prince Classic House remains within the complex and is designated a Tangible Cultural Property by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Its pitched roof and pale exterior sit close to the glass-and-steel Kioi Tower, allowing two periods of Kioicho’s architecture to be seen in one place.
The hotel’s Gallery Experience programmes sometimes extend this relationship into the stay. Activities include tea ceremony in Tenkuan, a tea room on the 36th floor at about 180 metres above ground, and guided visits to Akasaka Prince Classic House. Dates, prices and participation conditions vary, so the current programme should be checked before booking.
Windows as Frames, Furniture in Levitation
Rockwell Group Europe designed the interiors around two concepts: “Levitation” and “Framed Kaleidoscopic View.” These ideas appear in tangible details rather than decorative slogans. Desks and shelves merge into the walls and remain clear of the floor, while substantial window frames turn the city into a sequence of sharply defined views.
A deep daybed is placed directly beside the glass. The hotel’s own design notes for the guest rooms even describe reclining there while using a computer. It makes the window itself part of the room’s living space, rather than scenery viewed from across the bed.
Room Categories, from 36 to 148 Square Metres
According to the hotel’s room directory, the hotel has 250 non-smoking rooms, all with views across Tokyo. The direction and landmarks vary by the room’s position, so a particular view should be confirmed when reserving rather than assumed from the category name.
- Superior King: 36 sq m
- Deluxe King or Twin: 42 sq m
- Deluxe Premier Twin: 46 sq m
- Grand Deluxe Corner King: 58 sq m
- Grand Deluxe Premier King: 62 sq m
- Kioi Suite: 95 sq m
- Designer’s Suite: 100 sq m
- The Prince Gallery Suite: 148 sq m
The 36-square-metre Superior King still contains the hotel’s characteristic framed window and window-side daybed. Corner rooms and suites bring the skyline in from more than one direction. The 100-square-metre Designer’s Suite adds two-sided windows, a mist sauna, a blower bath and a bath with a view.
Grand Deluxe Corner King and Grand Deluxe Premier King rooms have view baths with televisions. A deep bath beside the skyline is not standard in every room, making the exact room category relevant for guests who want that feature.

A Glass Waterfall and a Garden at 180 Metres
Sky Gallery Lounge Levita occupies a roughly nine-metre-high atrium on the 35th floor. At its centre, glass artist Mari Noguchi’s large waterfall-inspired installation descends beside the staircase. Its translucent green surface remains visible against the Tokyo nightscape, giving the lounge an identifiable focal point beyond its height.
One floor above, All-Day Dining OASIS GARDEN interprets an aerial garden at approximately 180 metres. It serves cuisine influenced by the Mediterranean region and includes a live kitchen. Aluminium-cast columns take their cue from cherry bark, while green artwork, a working herb garden and slate surfaces give the restaurant a material connection to its “Nature in the Sky” concept. The hotel’s interior-design notes explain how those materials support the restaurant’s aerial-garden theme.
WASHOKU SOUTEN on the 35th floor covers kaiseki, teppanyaki, sushi and contemporary Japanese cooking. Within the same vertical hotel, the focus changes from Levita’s glass art to OASIS GARDEN’s greenery and SOUTEN’s counters and chefs.
The hotel has also revived the foie gras sandwich once served at “Top of Akasaka” in the former Akasaka Prince Hotel. The current offer runs through 30 December 2026 at OASIS GARDEN and Levita. Availability and serving hours should be checked because this is a dated, limited offer rather than a permanent menu item.
The Bar illumiid is also listed on the 35th floor, although the hotel’s latest operating notice does not publish standard hours for it. Older reservation conditions should not be treated as current, so availability should be confirmed directly with the hotel.

Swimming Above Tokyo on the 30th Floor
SPA & FITNESS KIOI sits on the 30th floor at about 140 metres above ground. The indoor pool places its waterline beside broad city views, while the guest fitness centre remains available 24 hours a day. Hotel guests can use the pool and gym without charge.
The bathing facilities cost ¥3,300 per person per night for most guests. Access is included for guests in suites, Grand Deluxe rooms and Club Floor rooms. The gym is restricted to ages 16 and above, the pool to ages 13 and above, and the bathing facilities to ages 16 and above. Guests under 18 require a guardian; guests aged 13 to 15 must change in their room because they cannot use the locker facilities. Tattoos are prohibited. Current SPA & FITNESS KIOI conditions should be confirmed before the stay.
Club Benefits Add Breakfast and a 34th-Floor Retreat
Since May 2026, the hotel has offered an expanded set of benefits for suite, Grand Deluxe and Club Floor guests. These include access to the Club Lounge on the 34th floor, a dedicated breakfast benefit, a welcome amenity, complimentary use of the bathing facilities, shoeshine service and meeting-room access.
The package affects more than lounge access: it also removes the usual bathing-facility charge. Breakfast venues, service details and age or companion conditions can change, so current Club Floor information should be reviewed alongside the room rate.

Direct Access from Nagatacho Station
The hotel connects directly to Exit 9-a of Nagatacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line. It is about one minute on foot from the D Kioicho exit of Akasaka-mitsuke Station, about two minutes from Nagatacho Exit 7, about one minute from Nagatacho Exit 9-b and about five minutes from Kojimachi Station.
The hotel driveway is on the second floor of Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho, a useful detail when arriving by taxi. Marriott lists check-in from 3:00 p.m. and checkout at noon.
The Room Category Shapes the Stay
Views at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho appear in several forms: the guest-room daybed, Levita’s glass waterfall, the aerial garden at OASIS GARDEN and the waterline of the 30th-floor pool. Each space gives the same city a different foreground.
A 36-square-metre room already carries the framed-window design. Grand Deluxe, Club Floor and suite categories add combinations of two-direction views, view baths, Club Lounge access and complimentary bathing facilities. Comparing those inclusions is more useful than treating every skyline room as interchangeable.
The former Akasaka Prince site supplies the other half of the hotel’s character. Akasaka Prince Classic House, Gallery Experience programmes and the revived foie gras sandwich place fragments of local history beside the tower’s contemporary design.
