A New Era of Elegance: The Grand Opening of PAZO Urban Lounge in Ginza

On May 20, 2026, a completely membership-based urban lounge, PAZO Urban Lounge, opened its doors in the heart of Ginza, Tokyo. This space is designed not merely as a bar or restaurant but as a second home for its members.

Envisioned as a sanctuary for both formal meetings and intimate conversations, PAZO offers an escape from the daily grind, allowing individuals to unwind and truly be themselves. The atmosphere is crafted to promote a sense of comfort and ease, providing a space where every guest can feel at home.

The Meaning Behind the Name "PAZO"

The name PAZO derives from the historic noble mansions found in the Galicia region of Spain, characterized by vast gardens and vineyards where people gather and share cultural experiences. This concept inspired the creation of PAZO as a modern sanctuary tailored for urban dwellers.

In today’s fast-paced world, PAZO aims to facilitate genuine human connections and shared moments of richness, embodying the warmth and allure of communal spaces.

Crafting a Space for Meaningful Experiences

The conception of PAZO emerged from the extensive background of its operator in the hospitality industry, who is also a certified sommelier. Their experiences from visiting renowned hotel lounges, wine bars, and restaurants across the globe highlighted the importance of having a place where people could genuinely relax, devoid of any formalities.

Here, the focus is on creating an atmosphere that allows individuals to shed their titles and enjoy themselves authentically. Every aspect, from menu quality to ambient sounds and lighting, contributes to the experience of unwinding. PAZO is dedicated to realizing this vision in every detail.

A Global Selection of Wine and Cocktails

At PAZO, you will find a diverse selection of wines sourced from various regions worldwide, alongside an extensive menu of classic and creative cocktails. Our sommelier-curated wine list showcases an array of options, prominently featuring selections from France and the USA, extending to New World wines.

In addition to premium drinks, PAZO offers a variety of culinary delights to enhance your drinking experience, accommodating everything from casual sips to important business dinners or mellow gatherings with friends. The environment encourages solitude as well as social interaction, all while ensuring comfort and privacy for every guest.

Unique Experiences on Each Floor

PAZO features distinct smoking and non-smoking areas, enhancing the overall experience for guests. The non-smoking floor presents a spacious lounge setting, which will soon host live performances from musicians accompanied by a grand piano, creating a refined ambiance filled with exquisite music.

Conversely, the smoking floor offers private rooms for guests who wish to enjoy cigars or shisha in a tranquil and relaxing setting. PAZO offers tailored experiences that reflect various lifestyles and preferences.

Designed by Renowned Interior Designer Kyotaro Morita

The space has been skillfully designed by Kyotaro Morita, a celebrated interior designer known for his work in hotels, restaurants, and commercial facilities both locally and internationally. His aesthetic sensibility is evident in the lounge's design, harmonizing the vibrancy and tranquility of Ginza, creating a liberating atmosphere for visitors.

Through high-quality materials, sophisticated lighting, and meticulously planned layouts, PAZO seeks to evoke the feeling of visiting a luxury hotel’s private lounge. Designed to transform from a relaxed day space to an elegant evening venue, it emphasizes luxury that extends beyond formality, allowing for a truly comfortable experience.

Comfort in Exclusivity

As a members-only lounge, PAZO operates on a referral basis, allowing entry only for individuals introduced by current members. This is not to create exclusivity but to safeguard an environment in which members can feel secure and at ease, fostering a community of shared values.

Rather than focusing on scripted service typical of hospitality roles, PAZO strives to deliver a calm and refined experience akin to private clubs or hotel lounges.

The Vision of PAZO

PAZO aims to be more than just a place to dine or drink. We envision it as a hub for creating connections, nurturing culture, inspiring new ideas, and enriching life in every encounter. As a new social venue suitable for the discerning adults of Ginza, we strive for PAZO Urban Lounge to remain a
