Park Hotel Tokyo wishes to have guests experience Japanese aesthetics and 
culture in the second phase of the "Artist in Hotel" project. Beginning with 
the creation of Artist Rooms under the theme of "Tea Room" in April 2020, Park 
Hotel Tokyo will be creating other themes, such as "Dharma," "Kimono" and 
"Railway," and accept public applications from Japanese artists. A total of 31 
Artist Rooms will be implemented on the 34th floor.

The "Artist in Hotel" project, which began in 2012, is the Park Hotel Tokyo 
version of "Artist in Residence." Japanese artists, based on the hotel concept 
"Infinite Time and Space Amid Cognizant Japanese Beauty," stayed at the hotel 
to absorb the atmosphere, and fashioned a standard guest room into a work of 
art.

During the first phase, Park Hotel Tokyo has completed 31 Artist Rooms by 31 
different Japanese artists on the 31st floor of the hotel. This project, given 
high marks as "pioneering, and increasing the charms of Japan," was honored at 
the Japan Tourism Awards in 2017.

Please feel free to inquire about the Artist Rooms that are being created or 
ask about interviewing the artists.

Park Hotel Tokyo Art Project Director Yoshitomo Fujikawa said:
"We hope to deliver works of art that express the inspiration which can only be 
born here, and portray the guest room as a canvas."

Please look forward to Park Hotel Tokyo's expansion of "Infinite Time and Space 
Amid Cognizant Japanese Beauty" through the creation of Artist Rooms.
