The Keikyu Corporation announced that their Grand Pacific Le Daiba hotel in Odaiba, Tokyo will begin offering a Gundam-themed room for customers to stay in beginning June 29. The room is being offered in collaboration with the Gundam Front Tokyo entertainment complex located near the newly rebuilt 1/1 Gundam statue.
The "Room-G Special Type" suite features an Earth Federation-themed living room and and Zeon-themed bedroom, totaling 84 square meters (about 900 square feet) of space. The room will feature Gundam art on its walls, as well as Gundam-themed chairs, room keys, towels, and more. Visitors staying in the room will also be able to order from a special Gundam-themed room service menu. While the room and hotel are located near the 1/1 Gundam statue, it will not be viewable from the room. 
The room will cost 26,000 yen (about US$330) a person if it is reserved for two, and 25,000 yen (about US$317) a person if it is reserved for three. Up to three individuals may stay in the room at one time, and only one-night stays in the room can be booked.
The hotel is also offering a "Room-G Standard Type" room plan, where parts of a standard 42-square-meter (about 450 square feet) room are arranged to be Gundam themed. The Standard Type room will cost 13,500 yen (about US$171) per person per night when reserved for two, and 12,500 yen (about US$158) per person per night when reserved for three. 
Each room will also come with tickets for the Gundam Front complex. Reservations for the rooms will open June 11.

  2. Weak... each room should be a replica of the bridge of White Base/Archangel/Ptolemaios etc.

  3. Replicas of bridges would be overkill, regardless if it was for one room or for each room. I think this is good enough.

    When I first saw it, it certainly raised my eyebrows. Nothing of "OMG" or alternating Ls and Os kind of a reaction, though... But it really made me think of MAHQ's description of it as the "Star Trek of Japan", since I can easily see something like this for fans of that series.
