special Captain Harlock & Galaxy Express 999 anime guestrooms!
Full English Info, Official Big or Wallpaper Size Images
This spring, the upmarket Hotel Grand Pacific Le Daiba will be decking out one of its guest rooms with special Galaxy Express 999 artwork and decorations.
Featured prominently is Maetel, the flaxen-haired maternal yet mysterious beauty who accompanies Tetsuro on his travels through space. Maetel is one of Japan’s most revered leading ladies of anime, and the calm, reassuring atmosphere provided by her presence if bolstered further still by the celestial patterns painted on the room’s ceiling.
The guest room also features a recreation of the box seat Tetsuro and Maetel sit in while riding the interstellar locomotive, along with the Hotel Grand Pacific Le Daiba’s standard array of luxurious appointments.
In the past, the hotel has offered special rooms modeled after the anime worlds of Gundam and Matsumoto’s own Captain Harlock, but the Galaxy Express guestroom is a first. Travelers can make reservations for it starting on March 5, with March 20 being the first night the room is available for guests to stay in, and June 30 the last.

In keeping with the Japanese hotel industry’s practice of quoting rates by person as opposed to room, the Galaxy Express 999 room is priced at 29,000 yen (US$282) per person when two guests are staying, and 24,000 yen per person for triple occupancy, bringing the totals to 58,000 and 72,000 yen per night, respectively, for the same room. Hardly budget accommodation, but accounting for the fact that some Galaxy Express fans have had 37 years to save up for this opportunity, we doubt the hotel will have any trouble filling vacancies for its one and only 999 room.[via rocketnews24]
