"With just 86 guest rooms, The Tokyo Edition, Ginza is a perfect jewel box of a hotel—its older sister in Toranomon, which opened in 2020, boasts 206 rooms spread across 31 floors—and it seems to have been constructed with the express purpose of providing high-net-worth individuals with the rarest of all luxuries: peace, discretion, and a sense of anonymity. Designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, whose buildings are best known for their swoops of cedarwood and retina-glitching metalwork (among them Japan’s National Stadium and the V&A Museum in Dundee), its glass facade is latticed with aluminum beams, while the curtains draped behind them are just opaque enough to emit a mysterious warm glow onto the pavement. Inside, an immediate reset to the nervous system: a dark walnut and plush cream lounge suffused with that same black tea aroma—a bespoke Le Labo scent—that envelops all 19 of the Edition’s properties." - Daniel Rodgers
"Hosts a multicourse holiday feast including Japanese wagyu beef, monkfish, and fruit tarts in the Blue Room." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Top amenities: Garden terrace, 24-hour spa, restaurant helmed by Michelin-star chef Tom Aikens What’s nearby: Luxury shopping district, Ginza, Tokyo Tower Step onto the 31st floor reception and you’ll feel like you've entered a cosmopolitan greenhouse—more than 500 trees and plants make their mark as you enter the impressive, minimalist space. Designed by Kengo Kuma, Tokyo Edition is housed in a 38-story skyscraper that exudes elegant calm: Bamboos and ferns make appearances across the common areas and a floating white marble bar twinkles with emerald stools. Two-hundred-and-six guest rooms feature the skyline views and simple design the brand is known for, including a low bed draped with a faux fur throw. For late night libations, head to Gold Bar for inventive mixes like a cocktail homage to Picasso made with rum, calvados, vermouth with citrus, and beets, served with a Cubist-inspired garnish." - Kristin Braswell
"Designed by Kengo Kuma in collaboration with Ian Schrager, this top-floor-focused hotel offers a palm-fringed, minimalist oasis with a casual, intimate vibe uncommon among Tokyo luxury properties. Guests enter on the 31st-floor lobby and find warm-wood, white-textile rooms—some with private balconies or freestanding tubs—and dining options such as a comfort-food-driven Blue Room (think wagyu katsu sando) and a sleek Gold Bar serving classic cocktails, all with postcard views of Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Bay." - Keith Flanagan, Adam H. Graham
"Tokyo’s luxury hotels are already in a class of their own, but Ian Schrager’s Edition brand is a welcome addition all the same. It’s a natural next step, and not just a business decision: Schrager’s hotels and nightclubs have long borne a seldom-noticed Japanese influence. More upscale than his original Schrager-branded boutique hotels, and more stylish than its staid luxury-hotel competition, the Tokyo Edition, Toranomon occupies a place all its own in the Japanese capital’s hotel scene." - The MICHELIN Guide
