Hotel K5 stands out as a boutique hotel that combines historical charm with contemporary design, offering a unique and tranquil haven in the bustling city of Tokyo.

It is situated in a beautifully converted 1920s bank building. This historic structure provides a charming and atmospheric backdrop to the hotel's modern and edgy design​​​​.

Hotel K5 is located beside the Tokyo Stock Exchange, bridging the traditional Imperial Palace area with more contemporary neighborhoods. Its proximity to Nihombashi Station, just a five-minute walk away, makes it an ideal spot for exploring Tokyo​​​​.

The hotel exhibits a sleek 'Japandi' aesthetic, a blend of Japanese and Scandinavian design elements. This design choice is evident in its 20 rooms, which are characterized by high ceilings, large windows, and a sophisticated yet minimalistic decor. The Stockholm-based architecture and design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune was responsible for this design, drawing inspiration from the local area's lack of greenery to create a 'green oasis'​​​​.

The rooms at Hotel K5 are designed for comfort and relaxation. They feature king-sized beds, a sitting area with vinyl records, and a unique loft layout. An illuminated central veil in the loft rooms provides a sense of privacy and seclusion. The rooms also include custom-designed recliner chairs, large sofas, and minimalistic bathrooms equipped with showers​​.
