15th Anniversary of Les Clefs d’Or Japan
The night of the anniversary of
Les clefs d’Or Japan.
On November 18th 1997, Les clefs d’Or
Japan began to stand on its own feet.
It has been 15 years, and we are growing
with additional members and supporters.
On
November
13th,
the
15th
Anniversary Party was held in
newly-opened Palace Hotel Tokyo,
along with the members of the Japan
Concierge Association.
The theme of Japan beauty and the
green tea colored atmosphere in the
hotel emphasizes the sunlight from the
window over the moat that surrounds
the Imperial Palace. The aroma which
you notice when you step in the hotel is
exclusively selected.

We were very excited to welcome our
guests at the entrance of the Ball Room
to start the evening.

It has always been our great pleasure to
work and grow together as a family of
Concierges to better serve our guests.

Many thanks to all of our supporters,
Associative Companies and members
E of
the Japan Concierge Association for their
continued support for the Les Editor
Clefs d’Or
Japan throughout the years and the years to
come.

(Mr. KOBAYASHI, president of Palace Hotel Co., Ltd.)

The reception commenced with a
performance of Ms. Ora Reed, famous Jazz
Singer.
Everyone was overwhelmed with the
performance and taken in. Following her
stage, we had the opportunity to learn the
history and secret of the re-opening of
Palace Hotel Tokyo from the President of
Palace Hotel Co., Ltd., Mr. Kobayashi.
