Exciting Transformation of Shibuya Excel Hotel's 25th Floor into 'SHIBUYA PANORAMA'

The Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu, located in the heart of Tokyo's bustling Shibuya district, proudly announces the renovation of its renowned 25th floor into the stunning new venue called 'SHIBUYA PANORAMA'. The revamped floor will provide an immersive experience with spectacular views and exquisite dining options.

A New Era for Shibuya Excel Hotel

Since its opening in 2000, the 25th floor of the Shibuya Excel Hotel has served as a beloved destination where guests could enjoy both breathtaking views over Shibuya and exceptional culinary experiences. As the city transformed into a vibrant international hub over the years, the hotel recognized the need to adapt to the evolving demands of its patrons.

Purpose of the Renovation

The primary goal of the renovation is to preserve the inherent charm of the 25th floor, while refreshing it to align with current trends and preferences. By reimagining the floor as 'SHIBUYA PANORAMA', the hotel aims to enhance its connection to the vibrant Shibuya landscape while offering guests an engaging and memorable experience from the sky.

As the city of Shibuya continues to develop and attract a diverse array of visitors, the hotel is committed to meeting the changing expectations of its clientele. The new design will embody the spirit of the modern Shibuya while staying true to the essence of what has made this space special over the past two decades.

Introduction of 'SHIBUYA PANORAMA'

The name 'SHIBUYA PANORAMA' encapsulates the immersive experience that guests can expect. By leveraging the unique height and layout of the 25th floor, visitors will be able to enjoy a dynamic panorama of Shibuya—transforming throughout the day as the natural light shifts, and the energy of the city unfolds around them. This is more than just a vantage point; it’s an adventure that allows guests to explore the city from above, akin to strolling through the streets of Shibuya itself.

Dining and Lounge Facilities

'Bistro A Vient'

One of the key features of 'SHIBUYA PANORAMA' will be 'Bistro A Vient', a casual dining venue where the comforting essence of a classic bistro meets the contemporary flair that defines Shibuya today. This restaurant is designed to be an inviting space that encourages diners to return time and again—echoing its name, which translates to 'See you again'.

'Sushi Shunsai'

Adjacent to Bistro A Vient, guests will find 'Sushi Shunsai', an exclusive sushi counter that boasts only eight seats. This intimate setting will offer a unique Japanese culinary experience accompanied by breathtaking views overlooking Shibuya and beyond.

Private Lounge for Guests

The renovation further includes a dedicated lounge exclusively for hotel guests, designed to provide a serene escape. Spanning half of the 25th floor, this lounge offers spectacular city views at over 100 meters above ground. Here, guests can unwind with afternoon tea, cocktails, and a curated breakfast—all included in the cost of their stay. Collaborations with local artisans and pop-up exhibitions will also be part of the lounge experience, themed around 'Shibuya Distillation'.

Opening Timeline and Future Plans

The grand reopening of 'SHIBUYA PANORAMA' is slated for mid-November 2026. This transformation marks a pivotal moment in the hotel's history, as it evolves according to the needs of its diverse clientele. With a capacity of 100 seats in Bistro A Vient and 8 in Sushi Shunsai, this new dining destination will soon welcome back loyal patrons and new guests alike.

Prior to the reopening, the current dining establishments 'A Vient' and 'Shunsai' will cease operations on July 31, 2026. The hotel is grateful for the support it has received over the years and looks forward to unveiling this innovative new experience.
