The Tokyo Edition Ginza

The work of prolific designer Kengo Kuma, this hotel’s aesthetic is defined by warm walnut wood, ivory tones and subtle Japanese influences—we particularly love the obi fabric draped over lobby chairs. In said lobby, an eye-catching staircase crafted from white metal leads to The Punch Room, a bar modelled after 19th-century private clubs in London. If cocktails served by the ladle aren’t your thing, head to The Tokyo Edition Ginza’s rooftop bar, which specialises in natural wines and also offers a very decent espresso martini. Its most premium room is The Penthouse, a dreamy Tokyo apartment with wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows, and separate dining and living areas. The hotel is located at the heart of Ginza’s main shopping district, steps away from luxury boutiques like Dover Street Market.
