Recently named the 7th best hotel in the world by the World’s 50 Best awards, this hotel really is a sleek, sophisticated showstopper. Located in the Otemachi district, views of the Imperial Palace and Mt. Fuji can be seen from the hotel.

In a city this populated, space is a luxury, and Aman Tokyo has it in spades. Occupying the top six floors of The Otemachi Tower, arrive in the lobby and be greeted by the hotel’s sky-high ceilings (nearly 30 metres); in any other hotel, this would have been made into an additional 3-4 floors (at least) to maximise the room count, but not here. The hotel has 84 suites, all in the top 35-38 floors of the building.

Traditional seamlessly meets the contemporary in style and substance, and the hotel lends a calm hand to all matters; this a zen space that means business. Rooms all have incredible views and take inspiration from traditional Japanese residences. Wood is warm, stone is dark and the washi paper is traditional and elegant. The luxurious feel here really is a result of the simplicity; clean lines, clutter-free design, crisp fabrics, neutral tones.

The theme of open, abundant space continues in the F&B outlets here. The Italian Arva has large white tablecloth-clad tables, views, and exceptional staff; Musashi has counter dining sushi; The Lounge has floor-to-ceiling views with a cigar den; and there’s a café and pâtisserie, too. Restaurants can be booked by non-guests as well, subject to availability.

A dark, sultry space, offset by the wall of windows and other light-infused design touches, it’s one of the largest and most comprehensive spas in Tokyo, with treatments that focus on nature and ancient healing practices combined with modern science. There are onsen-style hot baths, and products used include things like healing tree oils, oxygen-rich spring water, Amazonian butters and rainforest muds.
