I have come across several clips of an anime featuring the space hotel concept of the Japanese construction company Shimizu.
In 2016, I saw an AP news article from 1997 which used footage from the anime. This page cannot be found on search engines anymore, so I don't know how I originally found it. The clips established the title of the anime as "Welcome to the Space Hotel."

In 2020, I found an upload of a Japanese documentary from 2000 about the Kankoh-maru single-stage rocket proposal, which also used clips from the anime (timestamp 5:13).

In the past week, someone tweeted to me about the documentary Rocketships (1998), hosted by Kate Mulgrew (who starred in Star Trek: Voyager). There was a segment talking about the Shimizu space hotel at timestamp 28:39.

Looking it up, the full film (10 minutes and 45 seconds) is apparently hosted in the Swiss Museum of Transport of all places (the page is broken as I am posting this, but it wasn't an hour ago)
