About Imperial Hotel in Tokyo
Tokyo's Imperial Hotel was established in 1890 under the direction of the Meiji 
Government as the nation's first semi-official state guesthouse to receive an 
increasing number of foreign dignitaries visiting Japan in the Meiji Period 
(1868-1912). From its very first days, the Imperial set the stage for the 
introduction into Japan of the latest in foreign technologies, culture and 
traditions of hospitality, deftly combined with its own. The hotel also 
pioneered many new services and facilities which have since become standard at 
major Japanese hotels, such as wedding services, shopping arcades and in-house 
laundry service, and introduced diverse Western cuisine to the Japanese public. 
For its range of classical Japanese hospitality, it is the traditional favorite 
of dignitaries and celebrities from abroad visiting the Japanese capital. The 
hotel was the scene of many events and trends which in part echo the very 
history of modern Japan. Today's Main Building opened in 1970, with The 
Imperial Tower following in 1983. The Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, now houses 931 
rooms and 56 suites, 17 restaurants and bars, 27 banquet rooms and two elegant 
shopping arcades.
