1Trunk Hotel Yoyogi Parktrunk hotel yoyogi parkTomooki Kengaku

Trunk Hotel is a relatively new name in the world of hospitality. The brand’s original location at Cat Street gained attention as one of the city’s first modern boutique hotels in 2017. Trunk Hotel Yoyogi Park builds on what made the original great. Each room is outfitted with not just bathrobes, but pajamas as well. The flip flops each guests can use by the rooftop infinity pool are made entirely from recycled rubber. The bathrooms are stocked with face masks and cleansers that outstrip even the most fastidious luxury experiences. The attention to detail even extends to the bathroom drawers, which feature built-in ring trays for those who don’t want sweet-smelling soap on their diamonds. Rooms are quiet and overlook lush Yoyogi Park.

Sometimes you want a little quirk to your luxury hotel tour. Andaz Tokyo in the Toranomon Hills neighborhood offers just that. Green carpet in the glass-walled guest rooms mimics the country’s verdant moss gardens, and the wall paneling lands somewhere between the sliding doors of a traditional ryokan and a Piet Mondrian painting. All of the best midcentury and post-modern classics are represented throughout the decor: think Noguchi tables and the Arco floor lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo. The cherry on top is the view of Tokyo from 50 floors up.

Aman is the last word in luxury hospitality. Deep-pocketed travelers have relied on the group of over 30 hotels for the last several decades. Located in the Otemachi district, Aman Tokyo offers a uniquely enjoyable experience with four restaurants (and Aman’s first patisserie); a well-versed concierge that can get you into the best Sumo matches or pair you with Samurai sword instructors; and minimally outfitted suites that are more apartment then hotel room. The property offers guests a strong sense of place, with traditional Japanese sliding doors, low-lying sleeping areas, and sunken living rooms where you can enjoy room service cross legged.

Bulgari is a name most of us are much more comfortable with on our wrists than on our itineraries, but Tokyo’s new Bulgari Hotel offers as much glitter and glamor as a diamond-encrusted Serpenti watch. It occupies five high floors in the Tokyo Midtown Yaesu tower, so imagine uninterrupted views of the whole metropolis. The Mad Men-esque interiors keep the hotel’s energy subtle and sexy. We cover it in more detail here.

The Park Hyatt Tokyo opened in 1994 as the city’s first Western luxury hotel, but its reputation was solidified when Sofia Coppola’s 2003 movie Lost in Translation was released to global acclaim. Now reopened after a revamp by Paris-based firm Jouin Manku, the property occupies the top floors of a skyscraper in the Shinjuku district. Besides the quietly luxurious rooms that dot its floors, guests love to take a dip in the pristine rooftop pool.

Edition hotels always bring a bit of sex and mystery into the equation. The Edition in Miami is a hot spot for summertime parties and Design Miami dramas, but staying at the Tokyo Edition in Toranomon is a more discreet experience. Guests enter through a black marble lobby with vaulted ceilings. Breakfast is served in the Blue Room with its lapis hued banquettes; the Jade Room’s garden terrace offers dramatic views of the city to enjoy over dinner; and the Lobby Bar is stuffed with enough tropical trees it could double as a winter garden. Guest rooms are calm and minimal in neutral tones, with the Edition’s customary ultra-luxe beds. The property provides everything you need and not a jot more.

If you are traveling for business but still want to feel like a 1990s supermodel, the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills might be your best bet.

Nearby Shibuya is home to a slew of nightlife options perfect for an evening of karaoke to close the deal.

The Four Seasons chain is a go-to option for well-healed businesspeople across the globe. Tokyo has two: one at Otemachi, pictured here, and one at Marunouchi. Both have spacious, luxurious, and comfortable rooms with room for all your luggage, areas to work, and enviable city views. There are innumerable opportunities for a great omakase dinner throughout the city, but if you need a dose of Western cuisine, the hotel’s Michelin-starred French restaurant Est or Italian Pigneto are both great choices.
