Lounge Bar Privé

Rising to the sixth floor of Palace Hotel Tokyo reveals a tranquil setting overlooking the expansive greenery of the Imperial Palace outer gardens and the surrounding Marunouchi cityscape. Lounge Bar Privé operates as a versatile lounge and bar, serving delicate pastries and open-faced sandwiches by day before shifting to cocktails and evening fare at an unhurried pace by night. With a smart casual dress code in place, guests can settle in for a relaxed visit framed by sweeping views through expansive windows or out on the terrace where an open breeze comes through.

Signature Sweets and Hotel Tea Service

A perennial highlight of tea service here is the traditional Marron Chantilly. In autumn, a premium version featuring Japanese chestnuts from Obuse makes an appearance, pairing a delicately piped outer coat of light whipped cream with a crumbly, rustic chestnut purée inside that leaves a lasting impression. Pairing the dessert with clean, fragrant Japanese black tea or one of the seasonally curated black teas makes for an especially satisfying choice.

Privé also distinguishes itself by drawing inspiration from other restaurants across the hotel, presenting seasonal offerings such as the 'Terre & Mer' summer afternoon tea developed in harmony with French dining at Esterre, or seasonal fruit anmitsu created by the Japanese kitchen Wadakura.

Substantial Sandwiches and Seasonal Cocktails

Substantial savory choices include a Japanese beef fillet cutlet sandwich featuring quality cuts from Teppanyaki GO, alongside a snow crab and avocado sandwich generously stacked with both flaked crab and whole leg meat. Bread toasted to a fragrant crisp only on the inner face and the tangy lift of house sauce bring out the richness of each filling, making them excellent companions for drinks. As evening arrives, seasonal fruit Bellinis, frozen cocktails, and Champagne brighten the tables, setting an elevated tone for bar hours framed by the glittering night skyline.
