Mandarin Oriental Tokyo Hotel For Rent For $671,000
Got some $671,000 to spare? Because if you do, the entire 5 luxurious stars of the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo Hotel could be yours for a night. Well, to be more precise, 21 hours. You can invite 500 of your closest friends and throw a wild cocktail party with the dessert catered by the same Japanese pastry chef who won the World Pastry Team Championship this summer. Neither your mother nor the neighbours will get upset.
Mandarin Oriental Tokyo Hotel is turning 5 this year and to celebrate it they came up with this fabulous idea that might grant them a place in the Guinness Book of Records for the world's most expensive hotel arrangement. You can rent all 178 guest rooms, their Michelin-rated restaurants, all cocktail bars, all spas and the Grand Ballroom from 3pm to noon next day for only 55 million yen, which is about 50% off the normal price - notice the double 5 and bear in mind that next year it might be a double 6. If you look at it like this, it almost seems a bargain!
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is situated in the financial Nihonbashi district of Tokyo, next to the Bank of Japan and the largest Mitsukoshi department store, overlooking the Imperial Palace and Gardens on one side and The Bay of Japan on the other. Designed by the famous Japanese textile designer, Reiko Sudo, the hotel is finished with lots of wood and natural textures. The rooms, all prepared with yoga mats, are on the 30th to 36th floor, and the huge windows provide spectacular views over Tokyo (and Mount Fuji on the west side).
Mandarin Oriental Tokyo Hotel's offer is available until November 30, 2011, but better hurry up before your money loses value due to inflation. The Hong Kong-based Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group currently operates, or has under development, 41 hotels spread across 27 countries but none of the other ones came up with this crazy idea before.
