Located in Tokyo’s Takeshiba neighborhood is the InterContinental Tokyo Bay. Here you can enjoy its new concept room depicting an icy land, fittingly given the name Frozen Magic: Princess of the Land of Ice. With the room being filled with white snowflake-shaped garlands and ice-inspired decorations, prepare to be transported to an icy land far away from Tokyo.

Inside the room, you’ll find a blue cape and tiara waiting just for you! After transforming into the princess of an icy land, you can enjoy taking part in an aesthetic photoshoot.

What’s more, this concept room offers a special afternoon tea course! Here you can enjoy blue sparkling wine that fits the room's theme, along with a lineup of pistachio and strawberry-flavored desserts. These treats will have you feeling as though you’re at a tea party with a royal family!

Additionally, when you dim the lights, the snowflake garlands on the ceiling light up, further adding to the other-worldly atmosphere! You can also enjoy romantic night views of Tokyo from the room’s window.
