The Capitol Hotel Tokyu's Iconic Banquet Hall Renovation

The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, located in Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, announces an extensive renovation of its banquet hall, which is set to debut in the autumn of 2026. This update marks the first major overhaul since its reopening in 2010, signifying a new era of hospitality and event hosting.

Innovative Visual Technology

The highlight of this renovation is the introduction of two large, high-definition LED screens in the main banquet hall, "Ho-o." With a pixel pitch of just 2.6 mm, these screens promise excellent image quality. Not only will they provide vivid visuals from any seating position, but they will also work in tandem with existing large screens to create a fully immersive video experience. This advanced setup is designed to meet the demands of various events, including international conferences, glamorous awards ceremonies, luxury car exhibitions, and weddings, enveloping guests in a captivating atmosphere.

By reimagining the foyer's layout and refreshing the interiors of all five banquet rooms, the hotel aims to offer a sophisticated space that accommodates the diverse needs of next-generation MICE and event demands.

Preserving Historical Significance

A crucial element of this renovation is the continuation of the hotel's storied history. Significant cultural assets such as the historical chandelier from its predecessor, the Tokyo Hilton Hotel, the "Memorial Wall" from The Beatles' 1966 press conference, and notable art pieces by abstract ink painter Momoko Shinoda will be preserved and integrated into the new design. This balance between state-of-the-art technology and Japan's rich history and aesthetics will create a unique banquet space.

Following the renovation of the banquet hall, the hotel plans to implement a multi-year renovation project that will include refurbishments of the guest room floors and all restaurants and bars, further enhancing the guest experience while elevating the hotel's space value.

Key Features of the Banquet Hall Renovation

The renovation introduces several pivotal updates:

Installation of Cutting-edge LED Screens

The main banquet hall, "Ho-o," will feature two new large LED screens, each 6m wide and 5m high (approximately 307 inches). These screens will enhance the venue's capabilities with high resolution, providing vivid imagery even under bright lighting or at close distances. Their ability to switch between formats allows for flexible event setups, catering to different client needs.

Redesigned Foyer and Improved Privacy

The new architectural design promotes seamless space utilization, greatly enhancing the venue’s ability to host large-scale international conferences and events. The foyer will feature flexible partitioning to facilitate VIP reception areas and exclusive check-ins, ensuring a sense of elevated privacy for special occasions.

Comprehensive Interior Revamp

The renovation extends to refreshing carpets, walls, and overall aesthetics, creating a sophisticated and modern environment. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a space that not only meets current standards but also remains beloved for years to come.

Honoring the Capitol's History

While the hotel modernizes its facilities, it remains committed to honoring its rich heritage. The renovation preserves essential historical elements and artworks as part of the hotel’s unique narrative.

The Chandelier's Legacy

Elements of the original Hilton chandelier, adorned with real pearls, will be integrated into the new design, imparting a sense of timeless elegance and grandeur. This reflects the hotel’s dedication to maintaining a luxurious ambiance.

The Beatles' Memorial Wall

The tributing "Memorial Wall" reinforces the locale's historical significance, serving as a reminder of the excitement during The Beatles' initial visit, encapsulated in gold-inspired design.

Art Collections

The hotel will showcase artworks by renowned artists, including Momoko Shinoda’s abstract ink paintings, providing cultural enrichment that aligns beautifully with the contemporary design.

Summary of Facilities
