The top of a Japanese skyscraper is tailor-made for the kind of quiet seclusion an Aman resort is tasked with providing.
“Each of the spaces within the hotel defies expectations and norms with high ceilings and open plan areas saturated in natural light.”
“Taking over the top six floors of Otemachi Tower, Aman takes an understated yet luxurious, no-detail-spared approach to hospitality...”
“Elevators open onto a 33rd-floor lobby with a soaring atrium that’s close to 100 feet high.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Imperial Palace Gardens spread directly below, while five subway lines and Tokyo Station connect just steps away in central Otemachi.
The rooms
Sliding shoji screens reveal minimalist timber quarters with deep granite furo tubs set directly against floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the skyline.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and baths
Soak slowly.
Spa suites offer Kampo herbal therapies and Shiatsu. Onsen-style communal hot baths and steam rooms complete the space.
At the table
Arva serves Italian fare beside a two-storey wine cellar, and Musashi seats eight for Edomae sushi.
Hidden in Tokyo’s business district on top of a 40-story glass office tower, you’ll find an urban sanctuary in Aman Tokyo. Aman is the Sanskrit word for "peace," and that is exactly what this hotel delivers: tranquil, exclusive relaxation.
How it began
Architect Kerry Hill translated the quiet ethos of rural ryokans into the brand's first urban hotel, opening across Otemachi Tower in 2014.
“The design draws on the spirit of a traditional ryokan, reinterpreted for the modern city.”
