3 Best Hotels in Roppongi, Tokyo

Installed in the top floors of the 53-story Midtown Tower, the Ritz-Carlton provides some of Tokyo's most luxurious accommodations squarely in the middle of the city. High-end indulgences like Frette linens and down pillows are standard in the guest rooms, but it's the simple pleasure of gazing at the Tokyo skyline from a perfectly positioned chair that gives the strongest impression of luxury. The spacious marble bathrooms are equipped with double sinks, at least 17-inch plasma TVs, and deep tubs. Guests staying on the Club Level (two top floors) are presented with complimentary snacks and beverages. The spa on the 46th floor has a 20-meter pool, nine treatment rooms, and a hot tub overlooking the city. The Heritage by Kei Kobayashi French restaurant and the Hinokizaki seafood restaurant provide views of Mt. Fuji (on a clear day) and Tokyo Tower.

Japanese refinement and a contemporary design come together perfectly at the Grand Hyatt, a centrally located hotel where no expense has been spared on materials—from the Frette bed linens to the red-granite pool in the Nagomi spa. Rooms are huge by Tokyo standards, with high ceilings, touch-panel lighting systems, remote-control blackout blinds, and muted earth tones. Bathrooms have a luxurious rain shower and a separate limestone bath. Guests staying in Grand Club rooms receive free use (for a limited time) of meeting rooms, complimentary breakfast, and evening drinks in the lounge. The bar at the Oak Door steak house is very lively in the evenings.

Situated in a tower of the glistening Azabudai Hills complex, the Janu is one of the newest and swankiest luxury hotels in Tokyo. This Aman Group hotel, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, has guestrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, and sleek natural-tone interiors that blend Asian and contemporary Western aesthetics. To that you can add eight highly rated bars and restaurants, plus one of the city's finest spas and wellness centers.
