Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Inc., American hospitality company based in Tysons,Virginia, will rebrand the iconic, storied Hotel Gajoen in Meguro, Tokyo, as an LXR Hotels & Resorts property, with an official launch scheduled by 2027.

Renowned as Japan’s first wedding complex, the hotel is known as the “Palace of the Dragon God”, it is famous for housing over 2.500 pieces of Japanese art, tranquil indoor waterfalls, and seven connecting rooms decorated by master painters from the Showa era.
The property is filled with intricate lacquerwork, gold - leaf accents, and mother - of - pearl inlays and houses Hyakudan Kaidan, or the Hundred - Step Staircase, the only remaining wooden structure within the hotel and a designated Tangible Cultural Property by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

This storied, iconic hotel will join LXR Hotels & Resorts brand, a Hilton’s collection of unique, independent luxury hotels and resorts in intriguing global locations, focusing on immersive, locally - inspired experiences and bespoke service, rather than a standardized brand feel.
Each property maintains its own distinct history and identity, offering guests curated cultural adventures, fine dining, and a hub for personal exploration under the Hilton umbrella.
The hotel will resume operations for its rooms and restaurants in mid - 2026, following a phased program, of enhancements to its facilities and guest rooms. The rebranding will incorporate the property’s nearly 100 years of heritage and Japanese artistry.
