Aman Tokyo

High above the city center, with views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and even Mount Fuji on a clear day, the hotel’s 84 accommodations are inspired sanctuaries, created from stone, camphor wood, and traditional washi paper. Even more balanced bliss awaits at the Aman Spa, which integrates herbal therapies used in kampo, or classical Chinese medicine. For an inviting dinner overlooking the city, try ARVA, Musashi, Cigar Lounge, The Café, or The Lounge, for the 1,200-bottle wine cellar and private dining rooms.

Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills

Tokyo’s second-tallest high-rise is home to Japan’s first Andaz hotel. Located on floors 47 through 52, this hotel is as dynamic as the vibrant capital itself, which lies just beyond your floor-to-ceiling windows. Fusuma-inspired partitions allow guests to customize the 164 guest rooms and suites. After a jiyujizai spa treatment, sit down at the eight-seat sushi counter, reminiscent of a traditional, dimly lit tearoom. Venture out on the 52nd-floor Rooftop Bar for open-air seating and breathtaking views.
