For our second Project of the Week, we’re highlighting a Hilton development in Tokyo—but if you missed our first feature, you can click here to catch up.

Hilton, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., and TBS Holdings, Inc. earlier this year announced the signing of Canopy by Hilton Tokyo Akasaka, part of a large-scale, mixed-use development project directly connected to Tokyo Metro’s Akasaka Station. Scheduled to open in 2028, the property will mark the debut of the Canopy by Hilton brand in Tokyo and the Kanto region, becoming the third Canopy by Hilton in Japan.

Part of Akasaka’s revitalized mixed-use development

The hotel will occupy the 7th to 18th floors of an 18-story building in the west block of the Akasaka 2-Chome and 6-Chome District Development Plan, led by Mitsubishi Estate and TBS. The broader project will combine offices, commercial facilities, theaters, and hotels to create a central hub for business, entertainment, and tourism.

Conveniently connected to Akasaka Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, the building will also offer access to limousine bus services for airport transfers. The lower floors will house theaters and halls, designed to strengthen Akasaka’s position as one of Tokyo’s leading entertainment districts.
