Chic rooms with city views, 10 restaurants, spa, and gym
"Perched high in the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, I loved the 38th‑floor lobby that feels like a gallery and rooms that prioritize views—on clear days Mount Fuji is visible—plus supremely comfortable beds and an extensive pillow menu. Room service is long (and can be expensive), but the property hosts a wide array of dining options—ranging from a pizza bar to haute Cantonese and a silver‑lined French restaurant—and includes Sushi Shin by Miyakawa, a nine‑seat, atmospheric sushi counter carved from a 350‑year‑old cypress tree that frames Tokyo Skytree views at sunset." - Brandon Presser
"A sky-high hotel lounge known for its classic, elegant afternoon-tea service with abundant scones and petit-fours, paired with refined decor and expansive city views." - Jessica Kozuka
"Rising atop the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, the 38th-floor lobby is a gallery for Tokyo’s best angles, echoed in rooms where cloudless days reveal Mount Fuji beyond the calming hush of a sky-high retreat. Comfort is devout—supple beds and a pillow menu that leaves no excuse—while dining ranges from a pizza bar and haute Cantonese to a silver-lined French room. Sushi Shin by Miyakawa, perhaps the city’s most atmospheric sushi counter, seats nine at a 350-year-old cypress beside a floor-to-ceiling window that frames Tokyo Skytree as the city lights up. Step outside to kimono shops and classic department stores, with Ginza a short stroll away." - Danielle Demetriou, Adam H. Graham
"Perched on the top nine floors of the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, the hotel offers sweeping views of Mount Fuji, Tokyo Skytree, the Sumida River, and Tokyo Bay. Interiors reference a tree motif—entrance as the trunk, upper floors as a canopy—with 157 rooms detailed with bonsai and cherry-blossom motifs. A top-floor spa features a signature 'Totally Tokyo' treatment using pine, bamboo, plum, green tea, and rice hulls, and dining covers French, Spanish, and Italian options." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H. Graham
"Sophisticated elegance aligns perfectly with its location in Tokyo’s financial sector of Nihonbashi, and the splendid views begin the moment you alight on the 38th floor, where a two-story picture window behind the check-in area reveals the Tokyo Skytree and the surrounding cityscape. The views aren’t the only thing that will take your breath away, however, as the array of restaurants is outstanding and the hardest part will be making a choice from among the top-notch eateries on offer. If it’s relaxation you’re after, seek out the Sense Tea Corner on the 37th floor and bliss out with a cup of fragrant tea as you gaze down on the beating heart of the city below." - Louise George Kittaka
