Traditional Japanese design gets elevated here (figuratively and literally, at 34 floors up) to make for a stunning stay. Rooms are perfectly appointed, food is simple and delicious, and the high-up pools feel close to heaven.

Located inside the Toranomon skyscraper. An extravagant dose of luxury, set afloat in the sky and mixing traditional Japanese design with high international design.

A traditional ryokan in the purest, most zen way, located south of Tokyo in Shuzenji. The rooms are beautifully simple, and the surrounding ponds and gardens deeply relaxing.

Luxury hotel mixing Italian design with Tokyo glamour. Notable features include expansive event spaces, a fabulous state-of-the-art spa, fresh sushi, tranquil rooms, and more.

Something of a unicorn: part international hotel, part traditional ryokan. This luxurious gem takes the best of both worlds to create a strikingly intimate mix, with a rooftop onsen exclusively for guests.

One of few true boutique hotels (with a more international feel) in the city. This one is rounded out by jewel tones and lush fabrics, with live plants and other organic notes. Opt for K5 for a stay that’s truly unique—and beautiful.
