Gundam-themed hotel brings out the boy in you

Do you love RX-78 Gundam? Then the Grand Pacific Le Daiba hotel in Minato Ward, Tokyo has a place for you. That’s because beginning today, the hotel now offers rooms with interior decorations featuring the characters from the “Mobile Suit Gundam” animated series. The Gundam-themed rooms, dubbed as “Project Room G” features illustrations of the characters on the walls as well as other cool Gundam-themed furnishings and ornaments. It’s the place to be for Gundam and robot lovers alike.

Room rates are expected to cost ¥27,000 per night or roughly $340 based on today’s exchange rate. The Pacific Le Daiba hotel reportedly spent 10 million yen ($125,000) to set up the Gundam-themed rooms. Of course, this is nothing new in Japan. After all, Gundam is the brainchild of a Japanese animator named Yoshiyuki Tomino. In April in year, Gundam Front Tokyo installed a huge, life-sized Gundam statue as well as a museum, all in the honor of Gundam. The Grand Pacific Le Daiba hotel hopes that its Gundam-themed hotel will appeal to all Gundam lovers out there. So, could this be your ideal hotel for the weekend?
