【Scheduled to Open in 2028】 Dorchester Collection Tokyo ／ Chiyoda, Tokyo

An Asian Debut: A World-Leading Brand Rises within Japan’s Tallest Skyscraper

In fiscal year 2028, the globally renowned luxury hotel brand Dorchester Collection will make its first foray into Asia, opening inside the “Torch Tower,” Japan’s tallest skyscraper (approx. 390 m) soaring in front of Tokyo Station.

Known for operating legendary hotels such as “The Dorchester” in London and “Le Meurice” in Paris, the brand is poised to begin a new chapter in Tokyo.

Three Highlights

1. “SKY HILL” Spreading Across the Sky at 300 Meters

Dorchester Collection Tokyo will occupy the 53rd–58th floors of the Torch Tower, which proudly reaches approximately 390 meters—the tallest in Japan.
The sculpted sky garden, “SKY HILL”, will be set on the upper levels in concert with the hotel’s lounge and dining venues, creating an open-air realm about 300 meters above ground. Guests can take in sweeping views of Tokyo Bay, the city skyline at night, and even Mount Fuji.

2. Hospitality Shaped by “We Care” × People Development

At the heart of the Dorchester Collection lies a timeless, simple philosophy: “We care genuinely.” This emphasis on heartfelt consideration over mere formality guides not only guest service protocols but also daily workstyles and the way the organization itself is built.

The brand also places strong focus on cultivating hospitality through people, offering structured training in leadership and diversity via the Dorchester Collection Academy across its global portfolio.
These initiatives give tangible form to the “We Care” philosophy.

In Tokyo as well, this ethos is expected to sit at the core of staff education and operations.
Beyond creating glamorous spaces, a spirit of sincerity and genuine regard for people underpins the very essence of the brand.

3. Tokyo as a Social Hub

Dorchester Collection defines itself as “Socially Vibrant.”

“We are socially vibrant, bringing life to our hotels.”
— Our Culture

True to this creed, the brand’s hotels have long served as “social salons,” where people gather, converse, and form meaningful connections beyond the act of staying overnight. Following the likes of London’s Vesper Bar and Paris’s Le Meurice, Tokyo will fuse the brand’s philosophy with the city’s high energy—envisioned as a social hub where global business leaders and cultural figures meet and new relationships take shape.

Surroundings

The “TOKYO TORCH” district spans both the Marunouchi North Exit and the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station.
It is encircled by the Outer Gardens of the Imperial Palace, Nihonbashi, and Marunouchi’s business quarter, forming a luxury cluster alongside iconic brands—Bulgari Hotel Tokyo (opened 2023) and Waldorf Astoria Tokyo Nihonbashi (scheduled for 2026), among others.
