Waterfront sky perch
A double-height sky lobby wrapped in glass spills onto a landscaped terrace, catching the breeze high above Tokyo Bay.
“Inside, the lines stay clean, the palette restrained, and every room is attuned to Tokyo’s shifting light.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and Tatler.
The rooms, in particular, are too detailed and subtly colorful to be minimalist, but are soothing all the same.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the quiet Shibaura waterfront, the tower sits steps from Edo-era Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens and a short walk from Hamamatsucho Station.
The rooms
Rooms feature engawa window nooks, Japanese sen wood joinery, and onsen-inspired granite bathrooms framing views of Tokyo Tower or the bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter indoor infinity pool sits alongside an open-air heated relaxation pool looking out across the skyline.
The spa
Treatment suites center around botanical scent blending and restorative rituals using warm basalt moon stones.
The gym
The fitness center lines Technogym cardio machines along floor-to-ceiling glass, flanked by private yoga and Pilates studios.
Bar
Off Record
This 43rd-floor listening bar plays vintage vinyl through a McIntosh tube amplifier alongside rare spirits and skyline views.
Fairmont's first foray into Japan takes up floors 35 to 43 of the Maki & Associates–designed Blue Front Shibaura South Tower.
At the table
High-floor dining ranges from wood-fired brasserie plates on open terraces to charcoal-grilled steaks overlooking Tokyo Tower.
How it began
Occupying the upper levels of the Blue Front Shibaura South Tower, the property marks the brand's minimalist, craft-led debut in Japan.
“Arrival is calm and understated. The lobby does not overwhelm with floral drama or ceremonial excess; instead, it stretches out horizontally, encouraging you to look outward rather than inward.”
