The Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka (グランドプリンスホテル赤坂 Gurando Purinsu Hoteru Akasaka?), formerly the Kitashirakawa Palace, is an upscale hotel in Tokyo. It is located across the moat from Akasaka-mitsuke Station, and next to the back of the Hotel New Otani in Kioicho, Chiyoda-ku. The newer building designed by Kenzo Tange is 30+ stories tall and laminated in aluminium. Because of its proximity to Nagatachō St. and the National Diet buildings, it is very often used by Japanese politicians for meetings and press conferences.
In 2007 the hotel was renamed "Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka" following the reorganization of the Prince hotel group.
