I accidentally found this new old blog with construction pictures. It just came out of 2 years of inactivity and is considering a proper restart. If that happens it will mean more dedicated update pictures for Tokyo. :)

Looks good :) What is the building behind it with a crane?

I think its part of the same plan, but i may be wrong

The plan consist of 2 towers, on the first picture you see the hotel tower and on the 2nd picture the office tower.

That's what I was thinking but from that angle it seems kind of hard to tell.

This project is blending in well with the Marunouchi Skyline :)

The cranes for this project have been taken down, you can still see the small crane that has done that on the office tower. But new cranes have been erected next door for the demolition of the former AIG building. (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=79432228#post79432228)

Wow the front of this tower looks really art deco.

The office tower looks completely good. 2 facades in one is very smart. Innovative I'd say.
The hotel tower is not as attractive though. But we should give it sometime until it's completely done.

The hotel side is f***g ugly in both airview and street level. Just spoiled the whole skyline of the area.

The office tower will be completed in January and the hotel will open in May.

I must admit... I agree with you (about the hotel part)! This building looks old, outdated, something you'd like to be demolished and redeveloped...
Designers failed. That happens.

This ugly hotel building is already completed I think. It's been ages since this page has been updated.

I waited until the grand opening of the hotel to put this on completed.

And that is tomorrow, 05/17.

Palace Hotel Tokyo Debut Turns a New Page in Japanese Hospitality

Michelin-star ambitions and the first evian® SPA in Japan fuel grand opening enthusiasm

TOKYO (17 April 2012) — Palace Hotel Tokyo, a 290-room heir to some of the city’s most exclusive real estate, opens 17 May in Marunouchi on a stunning, moat-side setting by the Imperial Palace.

As the anchor to a USD 1.2 billion mixed-use development, the hotel’s 10 new restaurants and bars include Japanese, Chinese and French dining venues with designs on Michelin stars. In a country not otherwise known for its spa culture, the hotel is cutting the ribbon on the first ever evian® SPA in Japan. And its ownership, management and service standards are Japanese through and through.

“There is only one Tokyo, and there will only be one experience like the Palace Hotel,” said Takashi Kobayashi, the company’s president. “From the Aji stones at our entrance to the linens in our guest rooms, from the omotenashi at first encounter to the general management, we’re celebrating an unfiltered appreciation of our country’s culture.”
