ONE@TOKYO
Industrial Minimalism Beneath the Skytree
Where Concrete Meets Timber Expression
ONE@TOKYO is a stylish design hotel in the eastern Oshiage district, welcoming guests with a dramatic architectural gesture: a lattice of raw timber planks wrapped around the base of a ten-story concrete tower. This striking contrast—organic warmth meeting urban strength—sets the tone for the hotel’s design narrative. Inside, a 15-meter-long counter stretches from reception into the restaurant and bar, blurring boundaries between check-in, dining, and social space. An outdoor terrace connects the building back to the neighborhood, embedding the hotel into the pulse of Oshiage.
Guest Rooms in Industrial Calm
Rooms range from compact studios to loft-style suites, each carrying an industrial-inspired aesthetic. Exposed ceilings, plywood panels, and clean-lined furnishings embrace raw honesty while keeping the mood serene and livable. Minimalist but not sterile, the interiors prioritize clarity and comfort. For something more unique, the upper floors house the Atelier suite—designed like an artist’s studio—and the Library suite, a retreat for book lovers with walls lined in curated titles. Both capture the hotel’s mission: to make each stay a creative experience.
Public Spaces with Skyline Views
The rooftop lounge, filled with plants and greenery, offers panoramic views of the Tokyo Skytree, the world’s tallest broadcasting tower. It’s part urban garden, part viewing platform—an elevated space that contrasts the bustle below with calm perspective above. Downstairs, the communal restaurant and bar create easy flow between locals and travelers, further embedding ONE@TOKYO into its cultural setting. Every public space is designed for openness and exchange.
DNA Hotels Verdict
ONE@TOKYO is more than a hotel—it’s an architectural statement by Kengo Kuma, where timber, concrete, and creativity converge. Minimalist yet warm, industrial yet human, it redefines urban hospitality in Oshiage. For travelers seeking a stylish base with design credibility and a front-row seat to Tokyo Skytree, this is a standout stay.
