A Journey-Enhancing Destination - HOTEL METROPOLITAN TOKYO HANEDA designed by NIKKEN SPACE DESIGN LTD
At Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo, Haneda is more than just a place to stay. The strategic location on the historic runway site of Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) offers a unique vantage point as Japan's world-renowned gateway. This prime location transforms the hotel from a mere transit hub into a captivating destination, immersing guests in the airport's vibrant activities. The mission is to provide a place to stay and enhance your experience, inviting you to see the hotel as more than just a place to stay before or after a flight.
The floor plan is not just a layout; it's a captivating concept. Inspired by the idea of a 'perch,' it offers guests a unique space to pause their travels and enjoy a dynamic airport view. The restaurant and bar provide versatile seating arrangements for various occasions, while THE ROOF TOP offers a breathtaking 360-degree view day and night. These perch-like spaces are designed to provide a comfortable spot for guests to relax and enjoy their stay, all within a unique and inspiring environment.
The NIKKEN SPACE DESIGN LTD design team's design concept for the Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo, Haneda, is a unique blend of airport and bar elements. It is designed to appeal to both airport users and a wider audience. The design team has incorporated runway-themed corridors and aviation details throughout the hotel to emphasize its unique airport essence. Additionally, the artwork depicts the industrial vibe and history of the surrounding area, one of Japan's foremost factory districts, adding a unique touch to the overall design.
