Aman Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan
High above the business district of Otemachi, Aman Tokyo interprets the Japanese inn on the scale of a metropolitan hotel. Its position in the Otemachi Tower brings wide views across the capital, while stone, timber and translucent washi paper give the interiors a measured, distinctly Japanese character. The lofty lobby introduces this approach with generous space and seasonal ikebana arrangements. Accommodation continues the theme with sliding shoji screens, deep stone furo baths and large windows. Living areas encourage guests to settle in and take in the skyline, and the larger suites separate sleeping, dining and relaxation. The spa includes a 30-metre indoor swimming pool, hot baths, steam rooms and studios for yoga and Pilates, creating scope for a slower day between city excursions. Dining spans Italian cooking at Arva and an intimate Edomae sushi counter at Musashi by Aman, alongside a lounge, café and patisserie. Beneath the hotel, Otemachi Station connects several underground lines; Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace gardens are also nearby. The setting is particularly useful for travellers who want central access with substantial space to retreat at the end of the day.
