The Royal Park Canvas - Ginza 8

GARDE Co., Ltd., a global branding and design company with a reputation for space design such as retails, hotels, large commercials, residences and offices. GARDE has worked on the design of the hotel public space of “The Royal Park Canvas – Ginza 8”, a new brand of Royal Park Hotels, which opened on March 20th, 2019.

“The Royal Park Canvas – Ginza 8” will be the first hotel in Tokyo as the new brand “CANVAS” of Royal Park Hotels’ to provide a universal “interactive space” suitable for the Ginza evolving while inheriting the tradition.

Design Concept
GARDE has worked on the design in the hotel public space, cafe and lounge, concept room, restaurant with “vintage, modern and timeless” concept, creating a space that is traditional yet innovative, fusion of old and new, just like the historical city of Ginza. The mid-century vintage furniture of the 50s mixed with contemporary art works is designed to allow you to experience the art. Contemporary arts are displayed to be enjoyed not only visually but auditory as well. GARDE offers the blend of analog, vintage design to digital and high-tech.

Entrance Lobby
On the wall of the reception, an artist group “Chim ↑ Pom” puzzle art is set up. This series of work entitled “It’s the wall world” which Chim ↑ Pom has been producing since 2014, this time it was made specially for this hotel project.

Tea Salon “SARYU”
Next to the 1F lobby entrance, we offer 10meter long board counter cafe (Tea Salon).

Canvas Lounge
With the theme of “vintage modern”, mid-century vintage interiors of 1950-60’s are placed, they offer an open and comfortable space for hobbies and work. We believe the chain of space where people and ideas gather will be the driving force to create something new.

Canvas Kitchen
The space that can be used as a private kitchenette can accommodate events according to lifestyle, and it functions as a communication space connecting the city (GINZA) and people.

Flavor & Sound Culture Lounge
At the elevator hall of the second floor, artist Yagi Lyota’s sound shower art is installed. You can experience the shower of sound like coming out from waterfall. Also, carefully selected records are displayed in “Music Library”. Personal record player is rented out and there is a space where you can enjoy music by yourself.

Concept Room
“What if the architect team of Okuno Building, a modern building that caught the eyes of people in Ginza after the war, designed a room of the hotel? What kind of space will it be?” are based of the concept of this room.

Restaurant
Based on the design concept “timeless modern”, refined interior and the terrace zone on the 14th floor which can overlook Odaiba from Ginza, has become an attractive space.
