Occupying the top nine floors and the first three levels ofa 53-story midtown tower, Ritz Carlton is situated in Tokyo's Roppongi District home to the city's diplomatic and international business hub. A sedate entryway of colorful marble floors and wood paneled walls that extend two stories contain a dapper ensemble of dressy businessmen and occasional US celebrity. The hotel is home to five full-service eateries including Hinokizaka that offer sushi, teppanyaki and tempura counters that were recently crowned with a single-star Michelin. In the lobby there's an outpost of London Asprey with jewels and equally expensive handbags. After a bit of shopping, the 46th floor is home to one of Tokyo's ESPA Spas offering a staggering 21,528-square-foot spa and fitness center.

The Room

Designed by Frank Nicholson, interiors are more modern than you’ve come to know of Ritz Carlton’s other outposts in the US and Asia. Fine carpentry woodwork is married with hand-tufted carpets , Japanese Chiyo-gami Pattern wall coverings, and a collection of contemporary art from local galleries. All rooms are staggered throughout the 47-53rd floors with all featuring floor-to-ceiling views of the Tokyo skyline as well as distant Tokyo Harbor. The VIP level, known as he Ritz-Carlton Club, features distinctive VIP amenities including a separate lounge, located on the top floor overlooking Mt. Fuji, as well as five complimentary food and beverage presentations throughout the day and evening.
