Kerry Hill's design for Aman Tokyo applies the Aman philosophy of minimal luxury to a sky-high Otemachi perch — floors 33 through 38 of the Otemachi Tower, where the rooms are the largest in Tokyo (71 square metres minimum), the materials are washi paper, camphor wood, and basalt stone, and the views through floor-to-ceiling windows encompass the Imperial Palace gardens, Mount Fuji on clear days, and the Marunouchi skyline. The spa occupies the 34th floor with a 30-metre pool, two onsen-style baths, and treatment rooms designed with the silence of a temple. The lobby on the 33rd floor has a ceiling that rises to six metres and feels like entering a shrine to space itself — in a city where space is the ultimate luxury, Aman simply bought more of it.

Insider Intel
Request an Imperial Palace-facing room for the garden view that no money can buy elsewhere. The Aman Spa is the hotel's emotional center — book the signature treatment and use the pool and onsen baths. Breakfast at the Italian restaurant Arva offers the most refined morning meal in the district. The afternoon tea in the lobby lounge, surrounded by Kerry Hill's double-height ceiling, is the quietest luxury experience in central Tokyo.
Winter for the clearest Fuji views and the most dramatic temperature contrast between the heated interior and the sky outside. The spa's onsen baths are at their best in cold months. Weeknights for the quietest experience. Avoid holiday weekends when the hotel fills with domestic leisure travelers.
Floors 33-38 of Otemachi Tower — enter through the dedicated Aman ground-floor entrance, not the office tower lobby. Rooms from approximately 100,000 yen per night. The spa is complimentary for all guests. The hotel's restaurants (Japanese and Italian) are excellent but Otemachi's dining options are otherwise limited to corporate lunch spots, so dinner in-house is practical. Otemachi Station (multiple Metro lines) is directly connected. Tokyo Station is a 10-minute walk. The neighborhood is silent at night, which suits the hotel's contemplative design. Credit cards accepted.
