"One of Tokyo’s most unique hotels, with One Key and an exceptionally well-designed personality. Tokyo doesn’t have as many boutique hotels as you might expect, but the ones it does have are exquisitely crafted and absolutely unique. K5 takes a 1920s-vintage bank building in Nihonbashi Kabutochō — essentially Tokyo’s Wall Street — and, with the help of the Stockholm-based architecture firm Claesson Koivisto Rune, transforms it into a living tribute to contemporary Swedish design, with a healthy dose of Japanese aesthetics." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Defined by contemporary Swedish design, it’s perhaps the quintessential example of boutique personality in the capital." - The MICHELIN Guide

"With contemporary Swedish design and a strong boutique personality, K5 is presented as perhaps the quintessential example of a small, design-forward hotel in Tokyo." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A boutique hotel facing the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Kabutocho, housed in Japan’s very first bank branch established by Eiichi Shibusawa and reimagined in a modern style by a northern European designer. Guest rooms feature handmade furniture from Japanese designers, creating comfortable spaces where Swedish and Japanese cultures coexist." - The MICHELIN Guide

"K5, a vibrant boutique hotel in a former bank building, blends traditional Japanese design with contemporary Swedish style. It features unique rooms with a record player, and public spaces that seamlessly merge a lounge, café, wine bar, and restaurant." - Louise George Kittaka
