Experience the Luxury of Tokyo’s 5-Star Hotels

Aman Tokyo, designed by architect Kerry Hill, is one of the best luxury hotels in the city. Located at the very top of The Otemachi Tower, this phenomenal hotel was constructed in the traditional Japanese style, pulling in natural, locally sourced materials to create an organic but opulent ambiance. Guests pass through more than 180 Japanese trees before entering the hotel, which creates a stunning natural transition from the bustling city to utter tranquility.

Stepping into the hotel’s spacious reception area, which is high above the city on the 33rd floor, feels like being transported into a calm and peaceful oasis. The feeling of discovering paradise continues as guests make their way past the elegant stone surrounding the more than 4,000-square-foot entryway, which is lit by washi rice paper shoji lanterns in the evening and rays of lemony sunshine during the day. Stunning ikebana flower arrangements and a clear pond boasting gorgeous rock gardens complete the transition from city life to pure bliss and serenity.

This unique 5-star hotel in Tokyo is known for its luxury suites and wide array of culinary options. Aman Tokyo’s four restaurants, which are open to guests and visitors by reservation, present traditions from around the globe, such as Chef Musashi’s consummate Edomae sushi to fine Italian dining at Arva to the Aman lounge which transports guests into what appears to be the inside of a traditional shoji paper lantern.

Japanese culture is renowned for its deep understanding of balance and nature, and this is never more prevalent than in Aman’s Spa, which brings natural ingredients into its signature Journeys and therapies. Guests relax in the onsen-style hot baths and steam rooms, refresh with a dip in the stunning black basalt 98-foot pool that boasts incredible 360-degree views of the city and reenergize with a trip to the fitness center as well as a dedicated yoga and Pilates studio.

The magnificent Palace Hotel Tokyo, which is a tribute to omotenashi – Japanese hospitality – is a sanctuary of serenity that offers guests the ultimate level of VIP service. Located across from the Imperial Palace Gardens, this multi-award-winning masterpiece showcases the incredible Japanese culture of hospitality at every turn.

The Palace Hotel’s three-year redesign elevated it from an iconic fixture on the luxury hotel scene in Tokyo to a sleek and modern marvel that discerning travelers come from around the globe to visit. The hotel incorporated reminders of its history into the new design, from the original white grand piano in the lobby lounge to the Aji stone walls that are an ode to the Imperial Palace’s exquisite stonemasonry.

The lush and natural beauty of Tokyo, specifically the Imperial Palace Gardens, is reflected in the hotel’s interior design. With organic colors and leafy aesthetics, the hotel’s 278 rooms and 12 suites offer guests the feeling of being at one with nature, but with every modern amenity included. Most of the suites go even further to bring the outdoors in with private balconies – a rarity in Tokyo. Experience the reinvention of a legacy carefully maintained and the same celebrated hospitality that was established when the original Palace Hotel opened its doors over half a century ago.

This five-star hotel in Tokyo offers guests boundless options for culinary delights, with multiple bars and restaurants, extensive space to host functions and Japan’s first Evian Spa, all set against a remarkable backdrop of the surrounding Tokyo skyline.
