Best Luxury Hotels in Tokyo-to

Guests got a first look at this new EDITION property at its opening on December 19th 2023. At the heart of fashionable Ginza, it has 86 bedrooms including 10 suites across 14 floors. The design has been created by Ian Schrager and Kengo Kuma, incorporating clean lines, cream tones, bespoke furnishings, curated artworks and glossy fixtures. There are four dining venues onsite; the Lobby Bar, Japan’s first-ever cocktail bar to major in punch (The Punch Room), a modern brasserie (Sophie at the EDITION) and an oasis-like rooftop bar (The Roof). The Tokyo EDITION also has a Technogym.

Fairmont Tokyo brings the brand’s signature blend of timeless elegance and contemporary design to the heart of the city. Set across the upper floors of the BLUE FRONT SHIBAURA Tower South in the dynamic Shibaura district, the hotel offers panoramic views of Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Bay. It features 217 spacious rooms and suites, including three standout signature suites, all with floor-to-ceiling windows and interiors inspired by Japanese craftsmanship. Guests can relax at the Fairmont Spa and Health Club, home to a 20-metre indoor infinity pool, Technogym fitness suite and tranquil saunas, or opt for the Fairmont Gold experience for enhanced privacy and service. Seven restaurants and bars showcase a variety of global and local cuisines, from teppanyaki and sushi to wood-fired coastal dishes and a discreet listening bar serving rare spirits. With a range of stylish event spaces and a strong focus on hospitality, Fairmont Tokyo offers an elevated base for both business and leisure travellers.

With high-tech meeting rooms, the AC Hotel by Marriott is popular with business people, while its proximity to two subway stations (five minutes away) and location in buzzy Ginza, makes it ideal for tourists. Twin and king-size rooms are available, with the larger categories providing separate sitting areas. All have a minimal, soothing decor with amenities created to make the best use of the space and to reduce clutter. Guests can dine in the onsite AC Kitchen (inside and terrace seating is available with a leafy outlook), or in the AC Lounge. The fitness centre is open around the clock, ideal for those wanting a workout in the wee small hours, when still on British time.
