Aman Tokyo Spa

The elevator doors open onto the vast 33rd-floor lobby, where a striking ikebana flower arrangement tells you that you've arrived at an Aman. Come hungry as there are plenty of dining experiences to choose from, including an authentic omakase at Musashi, prepared with ingredients fetched from the fish market that morning; Italian dishes followed by a cone from the roaming ice cream man at Arva; and don't miss the foie gras brioche French toast at the Cafe. The Aman also boasts one of the largest and most luxurious spas in Tokyo, where you'll find a heated pool with a serious view.

A modern twist on Japan's ryokan inns, the rooms are understated with light wood, sliding shoji screens inlaid with washi paper, and beautiful touches like tatami mats and calligraphy artwork. The rooms are among the largest in Tokyo, beginning at 71 square metres, and the most spacious include a separate living and dining area. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a dazzling view of the city – a retractable TV ensures they're uninterrupted – and best enjoyed whilst soaking in the deep furo bathtub.

The hotel offers a unique selection of curated experiences, including art tours tailored to your tastes, an immersion into Japan's ancient crafts, sumo wrestling demonstrations, or private lessons in the art of Iaido. The Aman is also within an easy distance of the Imperial Palace Gardens, Tokyo's historic Ote-mon and Sakurada Gates, and the Nijubashi Bridge. After a day of exploring, return for a fragrant Shiatsu massage or soak in the onsen-style tub, then enjoy a sunset cruise along the Sumida River.
