Fodor's Expert Review Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo

Boasting high-end luxury, lavish interiors, and superb views of Tokyo Bay and the cityscape from the top 11 floors of Marunouchi Trust Tower Main, Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo's 37-floor building is conveniently located near Tokyo Station. Hanging throughout the hotel are 2,000 art pieces and 50 glistening, handmade chandeliers culled from the Czech Republic, one of which is dramatically suspended above a staircase that joins three floors. The Chi spa administers treatments using traditional healing methods from China. Standard rooms, awash in burgundy-and-brown textiles, are large (more than 500 square feet) and boast high-end entertainment systems. Horizon Club rooms on the upper floors feature a dedicated concierge and views of the bay and Imperial Palace. Suites include additional living and guest rooms. For dining, the Japanese restaurant Nadaman serves teppanyaki and sushi, while Piacere has creative Italian dishes.
