The hotel was used as accommodation by American troops during the occupation of Japan following World War II; one of the hotel suites is set aside and maintained just as it was furnished when General Douglas MacArthur stayed there, his first night in Japan during the occupation.[1] The hotel is believed to be the place where the famous yoshoku dish naporitan was invented by a head chef.
In 1991, an eighteen-story tower was built as an expansion of the hotel.
