A Quiet Hotel Above Tokyo Station

Aman Tokyo makes a practical base for seeing the city. Set high in Otemachi Tower, it connects directly to a subway station served by five lines, with Tokyo Station nearby for travel farther afield. The Imperial Palace Gardens are also close enough to work into a morning walk. Back upstairs, spacious suites pair skyline views with Japanese design details, including shoji screens and deep stone baths. After a day spent exploring, you can swim in the 30-meter indoor pool, use the spa’s onsen-style baths, or settle in for dinner at Arva.
