- Providing a one-of-a-kind experience is the hallmark of the brand hotels in our new DISTINCTIVE SELECTION category. A prime example is the luxury hotel BELLUSTAR TOKYO, A Pan Pacific Hotel situated on floors 39 to 47 of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower that just opened its doors this year. From the large 7-meter-wide framed windows of its guest rooms stretches an out-of-this-world panorama of Tokyo and the sky beyond.
Particularly sensational are Restaurant Bellustar, the main dining room, and Bar Bellustar, the main bar, both located on the 45th floor with a three-story atrium and approximately 13-meter-high ceilings, that both offer a stunning view of the city. Restaurant Bellustar seats a maximum of 36 guests. The view is not the only awe-inspiring element. The restaurant’s head chef is Munehiro Takesue from the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel. Set your expectations high for his modern French cuisine based on exceptional quality ingredients from around Japan, so authentic that diners can taste the local culture they originated from.
Another highlight of the restaurant is its furnishings. “Karimoku case study” presents a furniture collection designed for this space. Norman Foster, a great master of modern architecture, is welcomed as the new designer for this project. Please experience a special view of the world with his products and meal.
