WHERE IS IT ? Adjacent to Tokyo Station, the terminus for the Shinkansen and Narita Express, and close to global business headquarters and Ginza.
WHAT’S IT LIKE ? The entrance is subtle, with a walkway hidden amongst skyscrapers – an indication of the exclusive nature of the hotel. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the hotel has a peaceful reception with floral arrangements, high ceilings, wooden wall panelling and calming pastel canvases. The remaining public spaces are on the seventh floor.
Almost all spaces in the property have floor-to-ceiling windows, providing lots of natural light and a connection to the vibrant pulse of the city. The property marked its 20th anniversary in October 2022, a month before my visit, and yet it does not feel tired.
