Only the Hyakudan Kaidan, the 1935 staircase whose name means hundred steps though it has 99, survives from the original Meguro Gajoen, a restaurant Rikizo Hosokawa started in 1931 in a Meiji shipping magnate's house. Painted rooms saved from the old building were reset inside the 1991 hotel complex. Guest operations paused in September 2025, and the hotel is due back in 2027 under LXR.
