Hotel
Aman Tokyo
A serene luxury hotel on the top floors of Otemachi Tower, pairing minimalist Japanese design with a spa, 30-metre pool and city views.
A calm, modern Japanese-style hotel near Suidobashi Station, arranged around gardens, with French and Japanese restaurants facing its courtyard.
Good to know
Hotel Niwa Tokyo takes its name from the Japanese word for garden, and the theme runs throughout: the hotel highlights four garden spaces, and its design blends modern lines with traditional Japanese touches for a quietly elegant feel at a mid-range price. Guest rooms come in five types, each using different Japanese design elements.
Two restaurants face each other across the courtyard: Dining Lieu for relaxed French cooking and Yukuri for Japanese cuisine. The location in Kanda-Misakicho is calm yet central, about four minutes' walk from Suidobashi Station, with Tokyo Dome, the Koishikawa Korakuen garden and the book shops of Jimbocho within easy reach. It suits travellers who want something more characterful than a business hotel without paying luxury rates.
