This city retreat provides a tranquil oasis in the bustling city of Tokyo.  Working with Hashimoto Yukio Design Studio, the spa was designed around a ‘Modern Japanese’ concept and has taken a fresh aesthetic approach. 

ESPA provided The Peninsula Tokyo with all seven phases of its unique turnkey offering, working with designers on the initial concept, through to recruiting the highest calibre staff and providing training to therapists where English was not the first language, as well as providing expertise in marketing and ongoing management of the spa.    

The aim of the project was to convey an authentic Japanese theme in a modern environment.  The spa has a very strong sense of local culture with the use of Japanese clay walls, traditional stucco finishes, rough stone, and beautiful Japanese paper lighting fixtures used as accent pieces. The unvarnished cedar wood millwork and shoji screens in the treatment rooms also support the Japanese design aesthetic, combined with the warm and rich colour scheme of deep golds, browns and blacks. 

The pool has a grand impact with its double height ceiling, water wall feature, and Vitality Pool looking over the outside terrace.  The thermal suite has a luxurious range of heat and cooling experiences which cleanse the body and skin, relaxing and soothing aching muscles to prepare the body and mind for the treatment experience to follow.  There are eight beautifully appointed multi-functional treatment rooms, each with a view of the city as seen through garden window boxes.
