"An urban sanctuary in every sense, with a design that marries modern minimalism and Japanese aesthetic to create an oasis of calm in Otemachi that will soon have you forgetting that you’re in the heart of one of the world’s busiest cities. You’ll marvel at the views from the immense lobby windows, from which you can see all the way to Mt. Fuji on a clear day—if you can tear your eyes away from the stunning interior, that is. The lounge is designed to evoke a Japanese paper lantern, with soft light streaming down from the ceiling, and this feeling of tranquil elegance is carried through to the guestrooms, where a Japanese-style sunken bath and floor-to-ceiling windows are tucked discreetly behind a traditional paper screen. Relax and rejuvenate at one of Tokyo’s most comprehensive pool and spas, and take advantage of complimentary wellness classes to complete the blissful experience." - Louise George Kittaka
