Tokyo, Japan, April 22, 2019 – Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, and Mitsui Fudosan Hotel Management Co., Ltd. announced today that Mitsui Garden Hotel Shiodome Italia-gai (Minato-ku, Tokyo; 372 guest rooms) was reopened on Monday, April 22, 2019 following the completion of remodeling work.
In this renovation, which was undertaken 12 years after the hotel first opened in 2007, the composition and layout of guest rooms were dramatically redesigned to cater to the growing needs of customers visiting from overseas on extended stays and leisure needs. It was the first major remodeling of the hotel primarily covering all guest rooms and guest room floor corridors, as well as the lobby and entrance area.
Notably, in keeping with the neighborhood creation concept of Shiodome Italia-gai, the district where the hotel is located, the interior design of the hotel incorporates motifs and color schemes inspired by Italy. By doing so, the hotel seeks to enable guests to appreciate Italian culture and its emphasis on the enjoyment of life.
Looking ahead, the Mitsui Fudosan Group will continue to proactively open new hotels, along with vigorously investing in the renovation of existing ones, with a view to operating hotels that deliver even greater customer satisfaction.

1.Overview of Renovation
Mitsui Garden Hotel Shiodome Italia-gai, which opened for business in April 2007, stands in the midst of the exotic streets of the Shiodome Italia-gai district, while offering excellent access to various parts of central Tokyo. The hotel has attracted approximately 215,000 guests per year (actual result in 2018) from Japan as well as countries in the Asian region and Europe and the Americas.
As part of this renovation, the composition and layout of guest rooms were dramatically redesigned with an emphasis on providing “living room” features for relaxation. The renovation is intended to cater to the growing needs of customers visiting from overseas on extended stays and leisure needs. The hotel has conducted a major remodeling, primarily covering all guest rooms and guest room floor corridors, as well as the lobby and entrance area.
The hotel has fused a design that evokes a mature, playful spirit highlighting the enjoyment of life through features such as highly artistic accent cloths, and interior spaces adorned with subdued color schemes based on traditional colors inspired by Italy. By doing so, the hotel has been reborn as an attractive space that offers an even more sophisticated and exotic atmosphere than before.
・Hotel Lobby
The hotel lobby is adorned with a candle chandelier that calls to mind an Italian chapel and an interior design that exudes a solemn and austere atmosphere, creating a traditional and formal lobby interior. Concurrently, artwork hung on the sides of the columns integrated into the walls portray distant abstract landscapes that weave together the sea and sunlight of southern Italy. The elevator doors feature motifs inspired by maps of various Italian cities. These playful touches are intended to immerse the hotel’s guests in a traditional Italian atmosphere.
・Guest Room Corridors
The guest room corridors feature a stylish design based on a greyish-blue color scheme evoking images of Italian stone buildings and stone pavements. The guest room signs employ a Centaur font, which has a sophisticated design quality. Through these elements, the hotel has created elegant and refined guest room corridor spaces.
・Guest Rooms
In order to address growing leisure needs over the past few years, the hotel has dramatically revised the composition of its guest rooms. Specifically, it has reduced the number of single type rooms, while increasing double type rooms by 10 rooms, twin type rooms by 27 rooms and triple type rooms by 23 rooms. In addition, the interior design features formal motifs, patterns and forms in almost every place, including the wooden paneling and cornices. The interior is unified through the use of a subdued color scheme based on traditional Italian colors, such as olive green and wine red. The accent cloth above the headboard has an original design based on the motif of a golden spiral, and various Italian red and gold objects of decoration have been placed around the room, adding mature, playful room accents. The hotel provides a mature Italian-style accommodation space with a playful spirit in the midst of serene atmosphere.
