Bulgari Hotel Tokyo opened this past Tuesday, April 4. Attendees at the grand opening included the Bulgari Group CEO, the Governor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike, the Italian Ambassador to Japan, Bulgari Global Brand Ambassador actress Anne Hathaway, actor Ken Watanabe and other Japanese entertainers and influencers, and business executives. I couldn't find any online guest reviews in English or Japanese yet, but I'm sure that will come soon, perhaps even an FTer will review it on these very pages. In the meantime, my next stay will probably be at a Fairfield by Marriott.

Asahi Newspaper reported that Bulgari Tokyo has 98 rooms and out of 23 are suites. According to Asahi Newspaper rates at Bulgari Tokyo starts from 250,000 yen/night (US$ 1,891, £ 1523, € 1734).
Talking about luxury hotels, Mitsubishi Estate is building Tokyo Torch Tower (63 floor building) in the north part of the east side (Yaesu side) of Tokyo station, and the top portion of the building will be Dorchester Collection, which plans to open in 2028.
For me, I will be waiting for news of the opening of affordable hotels (preferably less than US$ 150/night) in Tokyo.

The rooftop bar at the Bulgari hotel is a pretty good space. I look forward to chilling there with drinks again. The bar has some pretty creative cocktails, and an interesting Italian gin selection that I need to try.

I presume, like most hotels, you can use the bar and restaurants without staying there as a guest? How are the cocktail prices? Did you try the restaurant too?

Just the bar, 2800 for the signature cocktails. So not as extreme as the room prices. And yes you can use the F&B outlets without being a staying guest.

It is about the same price level for a cocktail as the Peninsula, the Mandarin, FS Otemachi, the Shang etc. I had probably expected a bit more given the pricing of the rooms. The Italian gins were 3000, I did not ask if they came with a mixer at that price.

yah. This is a cluster F at times. Nothing more annoying than trying to check into the shangri-la and not being able to sit down having it full of people who are not staying there and showing up 2 hours early for their high tea.

He paid 600,000 yen (US$ 4,540, £ 3655, € 4141) for a night for a premium room.
He had a dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant. 14000 yen for a course dinner, and 5350 yen for Italian breakfast.
He bought a bathing suit at the hotel shop for 24000 yen.

It’s about 4,000 yen for breakfast at the ANA Hotel Roppongi.
As someone who lives in London, the Bvlgari option doesn’t sound at all unreasonable.
Then again, one can sit for 4 hours steadily nibbling away at the ANA hotel’s morning buffet. At a 1,000 yen an hour, it’s a steal.

5350 for breakfast is actually cheaper than Edition Tokyo, not by much so maybe fair to say same ballpark.
