The house
Shangri-LaOrnate high-rise showpiece
Staff meet you directly on the Shinkansen platform, whisking you past the station crowds to a crystal-decked lobby on the 28th floor.
“Lavish chandeliers, unbeatable views, and a 2,000-strong collection of artwork make this place a top option in a city flush with luxury hotels.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Floor-to-ceiling skyline views, tailored pillow menus, Bulgari amenities, and private Horizon Club lounge service define the high-rise pampering.
Notable
Over fifty bespoke Lasvit crystal chandeliers, ginkgo-leaf motifs, and Andre Fu interiors grace upper tower floors.
Notable
A twenty-meter heated indoor lap pool framing skyline vistas pairs with six private suites at CHI spa.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Forbes Travel Guide and Condé Nast Traveler.
The Shangri-La’s trademark far-east fantasy translates well to Tokyo, updated with some shapely modern furnishings and the latest in high-tech in-room gadgetry.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly beside Tokyo Station, you can stroll into the Imperial Palace East Gardens or reach Ginza boutiques in minutes.
The rooms
Deep soaking tubs and window daybeds frame views spanning Tokyo Bay to Mount Fuji, cocooned high above the city.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 20-meter heated indoor lap pool overlooks the Tokyo skyline beneath an illuminated, wave-patterned ceiling.
The spa
Six private suites include sunken soaking tubs and wood lattice screens for therapies rooted in Asian wellness traditions.
The gym
Life Fitness machines fill the 24-hour gym, alongside a men's dry sauna and women's steam room.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Nadaman
Nadaman serves seasonal kaiseki multi-course menus alongside dedicated sushi and teppanyaki counters overlooking the city.
The opulence is never garish—although the hotel is really giving Versailles a run for its money on the number of chandeliers—and feels welcome.
How it began
Marking the brand's Japan debut in 2009, the tower hideaway incorporates Tokyo's symbol with custom glass ginkgo leaves across its chandeliers.
