Aman Tokyo

Aman Tokyo occupies the top six floors of the Otemachi Tower, a four-minute walk from Tokyo Station. The hotel's rooms and suites sit behind floor-to-ceiling windows with city views, finished with soaking tubs, minibars and Wi-Fi; suites add separate living rooms and mini wine cellars.

The Garden View Suite, on the hotel's highest floor, looks over the Imperial Palace gardens and, on clear days, Mount Fuji. Wellness facilities span a 30-metre indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a sauna, a hot tub and Japanese-style bathing facilities, plus massage services.

Dining runs from a high-end Italian restaurant with private dining to a bar with a humidor and a lobby cafe known for its afternoon tea. The lobby, built around a soaring shoji-lantern-like ceiling, is a recurring landmark for visitors.

This suits a traveller comparing Tokyo's business-district five-star hotels who wants a quiet, design-forward base near Otemachi Station with serious wellness facilities on-site.
