The hotel where tradition and innovation are in perfect harmony.
The Hotel Il Palazzo, established in 1989, is a pioneer of the designer hotels in Japan. It was created by the collaboration of Aldo Rossi, the designer of Italy's greatest masters, and Shigeru Uchida, one of Japan's most well known interior designers.
In 2023, the hotel implemented an innovative "re-design" to create a new space that endorses an enduring philosophy of Aldo Rossi.
The lounge EL DORADO brings together approximately 130 seats in a large open space, offering a range of seating styles to suit your comfort needs at any time of day.
The lounge EL DORADO is also available for use as your living room or business work space.
Immerse yourself in the exotic atmosphere of the redesigned lounge with philosophy of Aldo Rossi and immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind Experience.
