A representative Japanese hotel located in Uchisaiwai-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. It opened on November 3, 1890. It was established in 1887 as Tokyo Hotel Limited Liability Company, and became Imperial Hotel Co., Ltd. in 1907. It was a three-story Neo-Renaissance-style brick building with a wooden copper roof, but was destroyed by fire in 1922. Construction of a new building (Lloyd Building) designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright began in 1920, and was completed in 1923. The Lloyd Building had a great influence on Japanese architects, with its decorations using Oya stone and its interior design, especially the lobby, maintaining an organic unity (→Organic Architecture). However, due to its obvious deterioration, it was demolished in 1967. A new 17-story main building was built in 1970. The main entrance and lobby of the Lloyd Building have been relocated to Meiji-mura, Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture. The Imperial Hotel Osaka opened in 1996. In 1958, there was a restaurant that introduced buffet cuisine to Japan for the first time.
