A new room for Godzilla fans in a Tokyo hotel

The Gracery Hotel in Shinjuku , Tokyo, celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2025 and for the occasion has just opened a new themed room centered on a battle between the creature Godzilla and his arch-enemy, King Ghidorah.

The room is on the 30th floor of the Toho building , the "Godzilla floor", with a huge 1/50 scale model of a confrontation between both 'kaiju', as these types of beasts are called in Japanese, whose film genre was popularized by the radioactive monster.

Here each room is specially equipped to fully enjoy the world of Godzilla.

The room is 32 square meters in size , is adorned with a mural depicting the destruction caused by the clash, and features an interactive panel that allows guests to make both monsters roar or change their lighting .

One of the reasons for choosing the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah for the new room, according to Hiromi Honda, director of the sales department of the WHG chain to which the hotel belongs, is its popularity both inside and outside Japan .

"Dragons are also especially popular in Asian countries, where tourism is increasing," Honda says.

The fact that the decisive battle in the specific film that inspired the fourth film, 'Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah' (1991), takes place precisely in Shinjuku also seemed to them to be an attractive element.

The new room features other details with film references , such as a director's chair with a clapperboard and several directorial megaphones, as well as tables that simulate buildings potentially destructible by creatures or a themed bathroom with adaptive lights in the bathtub.

With all these interactive elements, "we wanted guests to feel immersed in a movie," says Honda.

The room is one of the initiatives for the hotel's tenth anniversary, commemorated in April, and joins the luxurious 'Godzilla Room' for which the place was already famous, crowned by an enormous head of the monster visible from the outside, as well as six other rooms with views of the bust and another 36 simpler but equally decorated with elements of the creature.

Since July 1, the hotel's bar-café (lounge) has also begun offering menus and drinks inspired by the golden dragon.

How much does the new "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah Room" cost? 122,400 yen (about $830) per night for two people.

The hotel's popularity was such that a few years ago it had to close its reception to the general public, decorated with film posters, statues, merchandising, and other elements such as large temporary dioramas at the entrance recreating scenes from the films.
