Hoshinoya Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan

• No.39 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Japanese capital’s financial district, Hoshinoya Tokyo offers tranquillity like no other. When it opened in 2016, it was Hoshinoya’s first city centre venture, and it brought suburban serenity along for the ride. Modelled as 14 contemporary ryokans (Japanese-style inns) stacked on top of each other, the Tokyo hotel immerses guests in traditional aesthetics with tatami floors, futon beds and cypress interiors. Designed by architect Rie Azuma, the space seamlessly blends classic elements with modern Asian technology, including glass bathroom walls that transform opacity at a touch. Activities within the hotel dive head-first into Japanese culture, with dawn ken-jutsu lessons overlooking Tokyo and mid-morning tea ceremonies all available to guests. A dip in its rooftop pool, filled by naturally hot spring water drawn from 1,500m beneath the hotel, offers surreal views of the surrounding megalopolis. In the stunning basement restaurant, chef Ryosuke Oka crafts an intensely seasonal omakase experience, encouraging guests to surrender choice to his masterful creations.
