Four Seasons Marunouchi in Tokyo: A Dog-Friendly Luxury Hotel

"Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi" is renowned for their impeccable service, convenient location and fine dining. They now offer pet-friendly hotel stays, and I had the pleasure of staying in their spacious 88-square-metre (947-square-feet) “One Bedroom Suite” with my pooch Qoo the Pomchi🐾

Staying with Your Dog at Four Seasons Marunouchi

Dogs under 7kg or cats are allowed to stay in the dedicated animal-friendly suite - as they cannot be left on their own, make sure to order room service for dinner and breakfast! The in-room dining is provided by Maison Marunouchi, a bistro-style restaurant located next to the two Michelin-starred SÉZANNE on the 7th floor of the hotel.

A Michelin-Starred In-Room Dining Experience

Not sure what to order? Their signature fried chicken by SÉZANNE's Head Chef Daniel Calvert is a must-have. Each tender and juicy piece is soaked in a sweet-and-spicy marinade for 12 hours before frying to perfection with a crispy batter coating. Their homemade muesli for breakfast, served with a kick of cinnamon, is the perfect start to the day.

Stunning Views & Relaxing Moments

The luxurious living room and the calming bathroom both overlook Tokyo Station and the Marunouchi business district, with views of high-rise office buildings and "shinkansen" bullet trains passing by every few minutes.

In the evening, the cityscape completely transforms, with metropolitan lights illuminating inside the urban architecture. Pro-tip: add two bottles of their complimentary L'Occitane shower gel before filling up your bath tub for optimum bubbles!

Engagement Surprises and Special Services

The staff were kind enough to surprise us with stunning balloon decorations to celebrate our engagement - similar services are available upon request for a supplementary fee!

Huge thanks to the team at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi for their hospitality and professionalism, who ensured the most relaxing and memorable visit for us! With or without your animal companions, you can book your stay here.

SHIROIYA HOTEL: An Art Hotel in Maebashi, Gunma

Tucked away in Maebashi, Gunma, SHIROIYA HOTEL seamlessly blends history, contemporary design, and a deep appreciation for local ingredients. Originally a 300-year-old ryokan, the space has been transformed into a striking art hotel, with world-renowned architects and artists contributing to its unique atmosphere. More than just a place to stay, SHIROIYA is an immersive experience where gastronomy plays a starring role.

A Stylish, Dog-Friendly Retreat

Among its unique rooms, “Room 18”, designed by artist Kei Takemura, stands out as a dog-friendly retreat, inspired by playing cards, featuring intricate artwork and a chic, modern aesthetic. Accommodating up to two dogs (each under 10kg), the room is thoughtfully equipped with pet-friendly amenities, including toilet sheets and a walk kit, ensuring a stylish and comfortable stay for both owners and their furry companions.

SHIROIYA the RESTAURANT: A Culinary Journey

Located within SHIROIYA HOTEL, SHIROIYA the RESTAURANT is an innovative culinary destination helmed by Chef Hiro Katayama and produced by Chef Hiroyasu Kawate of the two Michelin-starred Florilège. Emphasising sustainability and seasonality, the menu showcases Gunma’s finest produce, reimagined through a creative lens. The highlight? The Akagi Wagyu Sirloin grilled to perfection with a hint of straw smoke, this signature dish embraces the philosophy of 'sharing,' much like its counterpart at Florilège.

The Breakfast: A Celebration of Local Flavours

SHIROIYA HOTEL’s breakfast, crafted by Chef Hiro Katayama, is a celebration of local flavours. Guests can choose between a Japanese Washoku breakfast, inspired by the chef’s childhood in Gunma, and a Western Yoshoku breakfast, which reflects his French culinary training. Both options highlight the region’s produce and are available to hotel guests and visitors with prior reservation. A dog-friendly terrace ensures that even four-legged companions can enjoy the morning ambiance.

Art, Culture, and Gastronomy: A Complete Escape

Beyond the restaurant, SHIROIYA HOTEL itself is an architectural and artistic marvel. Designed by Sou Fujimoto, the building’s striking blend of raw concrete and lush greenery creates a visual spectacle. The rooms, each curated with unique artistic elements, provide a tranquil retreat that juxtaposes modernity with history.

For those seeking an escape where art, culture, and gastronomy intertwine, SHIROIYA HOTEL is a destination in itself. Whether indulging in an unforgettable dinner, a thoughtfully curated breakfast, or simply absorbing the artistic surroundings, a stay here is an experience that lingers long after check-out.
