What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, interiors take cues from Zen gardens and traditional landscapes, with 200 rooms positioned high above the city.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Directly linked to Takanawa Gateway Station, the hotel offers seamless Yamanote line transit and easy walking access to Shinagawa bullet trains.
The rooms
Moody wood paneling extends across the ceilings, framing expansive windows, gray velvet accents, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-meter indoor pool shares the high-ceilinged atrium with a whirlpool, set beside a timber-paneled fitness studio.
The spa
Treatment rooms sit behind translucent shoji screens, offering holistic therapies and private soaking baths.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
An eight-seat sushi counter looks toward Tokyo Bay, and the lobby features a dedicated morning croissant bar.
Moody, low-lit public spaces with wood panelling, muted fabrics and warm copper finishes create a cosiness, while a flickering fireplace... add to the serenity.
How it began
The high-rise tower rises from the former Shinagawa railway depot, anchoring a futuristic smart district where Japan's first train line ran.
