Tokyo’s Hotels Are As Luxurious As Any in the World

"Bringing the party to Tokyo since its 2020 opening, The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon has become known for lively events, with regular cocktail parties at Gold Bar at EDITION drawing the crème of the Japanese social scene. Set in the upmarket Toranomon area, guest rooms offer impressive views of Tokyo Tower from interiors co-designed by Kengo Kuma, surrounded by his signature wood slats. The rooms are calming muji-inspired spaces in neutral tones—think minimalist design, natural materials, and uncluttered aesthetics—contrasted by open areas like the bar resplendent in topaz-hued sofas and lush greenery. The indoor pool, with high walls and moody lighting, feels like stepping into an art exhibition reminiscent of James Turrell’s House of Light, perfect for those who love to party and mingle with Tokyoites at the bar." - Kim Kahan
