The Hotel Story
Conveniently located mere steps away from Marble Arch in leafy Marylebone, the Prince Akatoki Hotel offers a central London retreat that oozes with all the style, harmony and service typical of Japanese hospitality but presented in a series of elegant Georgian Townhouses. Rooms are stunning throughout, with minimalist, clean-lined decor accented by keen attention to detail, purposefully uncluttered to enhance the calming ambience. Strong aromatherapy scents lace the public areas of The Prince Akatoki, further enhancing its highly curated sense of tranquillity.
Prince Akatoki emphasises service from the heart, and with this in mind, customers are invited to contact the friendly team at the hotel to request any extras that will enhance their stay. Extra beds and cots for younger children are available as a supplement, and the Executive Rooms have been designed with accessibility in mind. The hotel’s sustainability regimen includes motion detector lights and LED lighting throughout. And a series of new measures, including a green car service for guests, and combined heat and power recycling systems are in the works, further adding to their sustainability arsenal.
This attentiveness continues in the excellent TOKii fusion restaurant, where a beautifully realised Japanese menu, filled with health-boosting ingredients, is served in a chic, minimalist dining room with wide walkways and high ceilings. On the ground floor, the Malt Lounge & Bar offers a twist on a traditional London bar, with premium Japanese whiskies and an impressive Sake stock. Cocktails are of particular note, with emphasis on bold flavours such as rice, white tea, and Pandan served with a touch of theatre (think smoking glasses and table-side finishing touches) in an elegant bar coloured with stylish dark woods from floor to ceiling. The Prince Akatoki App hotel offers a range of accessible features enabling mobile check-in, room service, transport booking, and live chat, for an invaluable blend of convenience and peace of mind.
Conveniently situated in the glamorous west end, the Prince Akatoki offers quick access to the elegant shopping of Bond Street and Marylebone as well as view-laden walks to London luminaries such as the Marble Arch, Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park. Sustainable travel options are close by, including the underground at Marble Arch and the new Elizabeth Line at Bond Street, with direct connections to Canary Wharf, Paddington, Whitechapel and Heathrow.
Can’t Miss Experiences
Akatoki’s attractive partner packages include overnight stays with a Dinner for two at the exquisite
