Mandarin Oriental Tokyo

Atop a skyscraper that towers over the Nihonbashi district, this five-star hotel has remained one of Tokyo’s swankiest addresses since it opened in 2005.

Style-wise, everything here has a contemporary elegance, from the rooms and suites to the highly-rated spa and dining venues like the Michelin-starred Tapas Molecular Bar and Sushi Shin.

It also has a superb location. Nihonbashi has a lovely mix of the traditional and modern to explore, while nearby are the Imperial Palace, major business districts, and the boutiques, department stores, and wining and dining of Ginza.

And it caters to all sorts of traveller – whether business, leisure or family – anyone who can afford the hefty bill.
