Aman Tokyo
From
2,100 €
“30-metre-high lobby, stone basin, giant shoji. Aman invents the vertical ryokan.”
Aman Tokyo occupies the top six floors of the Otemachi Tower. A hotel that manages to recreate the tranquillity of a mountain ryokan right in the business district.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Aman Tokyo to travellers seeking absolute calm in the city, far from the tumult of Shibuya. It’s a hotel for couples on a belated honeymoon, executives on long layovers, architects and creatives attuned to detail. Families with children are accepted but the clientele remains predominantly adult, drawn to the spa and the silence.
The building

Aman Tokyo occupies floors 33 to 38 of the Otemachi Tower, completed in 2014. Interiors by Kerry Hill: volcanic stone, wengé wood, six-metre-high shoji panels. The lobby rises 30 metres under a glass canopy, with a central Oya stone basin. Rooms from 50 to 157 m², black granite bathtubs, views of the Imperial Palace or the skyline.
