Aman Resorts, known for its high-end hotels in exotic locations, has opened its first urban property, an 84-bedroom hotel in Tokyo’s financial district. The Aman Tokyo is the company’s first Japanese venture and occupies the top six floors of The Otemachi Tower.

Kerry Hill Architects was in charge of the interior design, which mirrors local cultures and traditions, with shoji paper sliding doors and a Japanese engawa porch.

Two floors – around 2,500sq m (26,910sqft) – have been given over to the hotel’s Aman Spa, which has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city and the Imperial Palace Gardens.

The spa has eight double treatment rooms – each with its own dressing room, treatment area, steam shower and bathroom.

In addition to private relaxation rooms, there’s also a 30m (98ft) black basalt-lined pool. Views of the city are possible right down to water level, so all that can be seen while swimming is the sky.

Changing rooms have steamrooms, traditional Japanese and western showers and hot Japanese baths. The hotel also has a gym with kit by Technogym, Life Fitness and TRX, a yoga and pilates studio, a wine cellar, cigar lounge, restaurant, private dining, business centre and a Café by Aman which will open this spring.

The hotel is owned by investor Vladislav Doronin’s Aman Resorts Group. @amanresorts
