Name: Aman Tokyo
Address: The Otemachi Tower, Otemachi, Chiyoda City, Tokyo, JP

Hotel introduction

Stillness, high above the city

Aman Tokyo opened in December 2014 as the brand's first urban hotel in Japan. It occupies the top floors of the Otemachi Tower in Chiyoda, a short walk from Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace East Gardens.

From the moment the lift opens onto the lobby, the city noise falls away — replaced by the hush of stone, timber and soft paper light.

Editorial commentary · Why we like it

Aman Tokyo proves that serenity can be engineered without losing warmth. It is the hotel we recommend to travellers who think they don't like big-city stays — the scale, light and silence change the way Tokyo feels.

Architecture & Design

The interiors are by Kerry Hill Architects, the practice behind several Aman properties. The design draws on the traditional Japanese house, using natural materials such as stone, timber and washi paper. The lobby's soaring, lantern-like volume is one of the most photographed hotel spaces in the city.

Rooms & Suites

Accommodation is in rooms and suites with expansive city views; the bathrooms feature deep furo-style soaking tubs. On clear days, views from the hotel can stretch west towards Mount Fuji.

Room categories, sizes and current configurations are listed on the official Aman Tokyo website.

Dining

Dining spans a signature restaurant and The Lounge by Aman, which sits beneath the lobby's dramatic atrium and is known for its afternoon tea. Venues and menus evolve, so we recommend checking the official website for current restaurants and opening hours before you go.

Wellness

The Aman Spa occupies two floors and includes an indoor swimming pool framed by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, alongside treatment rooms and a fitness centre.

Location

Otemachi is Tokyo's financial district, tucked beside Marunouchi and moments from Tokyo Station — a practical base for Shinkansen journeys. The green expanse of the Imperial Palace East Gardens lies close by.

Editorial commentary · Editor's notes

Arrive in the late afternoon and take your first drink in the lounge as the city lights come on — it is the best possible introduction to the building. If you're combining Tokyo with Kyoto, staying beside Tokyo Station makes the transfer effortless.
