History

On November 28, 1887, Kihachiro Okura and Eiichi Shibusawa submitted an application to form a new company called Yugen Sekinin Tokyo Hoteru, in order to "build a large hotel in Tokyo and to conduct the business of renting rooms to foreign guests, and for parties and other events..." There were initially 21 investors, with the largest being the Imperial Household Ministry. Site preparation for the first Imperial Hotel started in July 1888, and construction began in the fall of that year. On 7 July 1890, with the hotel almost complete, the name was changed to Yugen Sekinen Teikoku Hoteru Kaisha.
On January 25, 1907, the Kabushiki Kaisha Hoteru Metropole merged with the Teikoku Hoteru Kabushiki Kaisha and the combined company name was changed to Kabushiki Kaisha Teikoku Hoteru.
