Major Renovation of 594 Guest Rooms and the Lobby

To provide an even more comfortable stay, Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel has been renovating its guest rooms since June 2025.

The renovation covers 594 out of the total 830 rooms, across 7 types. All targeted guest rooms are scheduled to be fully renovated by early September 2026.

Furthermore, the lobby was also newly reopened on July 15, 2026. The guest rooms are themed around "Ariake = the moon at dawn," while the lobby is designed with the sky, sea, and waterscape of Ariake in mind, creating a unified world throughout the hotel.

Touring the Renovated Guest Rooms Inspired by the "Ariake Moon"

The concept for the renovated guest rooms is "premium comfort." "Ariake," which is also part of the hotel's name, refers to the area where the hotel is located, but in Japanese, it also means "the moon that remains in the sky even after dawn."

The guest rooms feature soft indirect lighting reminiscent of moonlight and wall designs inspired by the moon. The spaces are kept simple, without excessive decoration, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere.

At this preview event, we toured the Deluxe Single Room and Superior Twin Room.

Deluxe Single Room: Ideal for Solo Travelers or Business Trips

The Deluxe Single Room is a guest room with an area of 14.3㎡, accommodating one guest.

Power outlets and USB ports are installed around the bed. There is also a space to place your smartphone, making it easy to charge and operate your device while lying in bed.

The television is wall-mounted, giving the limited space in the room a clean and open feel.This room is ideal for solo travelers or those on business trips to Tokyo who are looking for a compact and functional guest room.

Superior Twin Room Recommended for Two Travelers

The Superior Twin Room is 21.5㎡ in size and accommodates 1 to 2 guests. With two beds, it is a convenient choice for friends, couples, or families traveling to Tokyo.

Like the Deluxe Single Room, it features a wall design inspired by the moon and indirect lighting.

Additionally, the Superior Room is equipped with a foldable luggage rack. This is a convenient feature for travelers who frequently take items in and out of their suitcases.

Seven Room Types to Choose from According to Group Size

The following seven types of guest rooms are included in the renovation.

You can choose a guest room according to the number of travelers and the purpose of your trip, from solo stays to groups of up to three people.

A New Lobby Filled with Water and Light, Offering a Sense of Openness

The concept of the new lobby is “an extraordinary oasis wrapped in shimmering water and light.”

The design is based on blue, inspired by the sky, sea, and waterscapes of Ariake, and soft natural colors. The high atrium and large windows make use of natural light, creating a space that evokes the reflections and gentle ripples of water.

In the center of the lobby, there is a boat-shaped sofa where guests can actually sit and take photos. On the ceiling, there is a fabric art installation that sways, and the lighting creates patterns reminiscent of the water’s surface.

The counter seats surrounded by trees are designed so that you can easily place your suitcase at your feet. Japanese Type A power outlets are also provided, making it convenient for working on your computer or checking your itinerary before departure.

The symbolic zone, which expresses the Ariake moon and the shimmering surface of the water, is recommended as a photo spot because sitting on the sofa makes you feel as if you are being gently rocked in a small boat.

A Dedicated Room for Organizing Luggage and Changing Clothes

As part of this renovation, a new “Packing & Dressing Room” exclusively for hotel guests has been established.

The room is equipped with a packing table large enough to open a suitcase on, a counter with a dresser mirror, a fitting space, power outlets, hanger hooks, and more. Guests can use this room both before check-in and after check-out.
