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.
El Dorado, the lounge with seating for 130, offers buffet-style dining from breakfast to dinner. Guests are free to enjoy the chef's seasonal dishes at your pleasure.
The 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.
