Experience

For Hotel Grand Bach, which boasts a tranquil hotel space, "music" is the very reason for the brand's existence.
We are pleased to announce that we will be holding our 17th "Salon Concert." This coming March, we will be welcoming pianist Fuu Sanekawa to celebrate the birthday of Bach (March 3st), for whom the hotel is named.

Fuu Sanekawa has a wide range of repertoire, from baroque to contemporary works, and is skilled in bringing out a variety of tones. Unlike the main hall, you can enjoy a luxurious moment listening to him in the salon style that is unique to Hotel Grand Bach Tokyo Ginza.
