Mandarin Oriental Tokyo

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo Review

Occupying the top nine floors of the glistening Nihombashi Mitsui Tower is this hotel, a blend of harmony and outright modernity. The Mandarin's amazing rooms, decorated in dark and light browns, feature large bay windows with exquisite nighttime panoramas of the city lights. The 45-inch flat-panel TVs, surround-sound systems, and iPod-docking stations should please tech fans. Corner rooms have sunken marble tubs that allow you to gaze out windows while soaking. The spa devotes nine rooms to the hotel's signature body scrubs and massages. The gym and award-winning restaurants (both modern and traditional cuisines) are top-of-the-line, but guests weary from overload of superlatives might consider a short stroll toward Tokyo Station, with its variety of tiny watering holes and izakaya (Japanese pubs).
