Art plays an integral role in creating the atmosphere and experience at Andaz Tokyo. The hotel brings in the local culture through marvelous artworks, allowing guests to feel the charm of the city even during short stays.

The massive Kumiko art on the 51st floor was made by artist Shigemitsu Kotaka. Kumiko is a traditional Japanese woodcraft, as small wooden pieces are assembled by hand, creating exquisite designs without nails or glue. This Kumiko is named ”Infinite Universe”, as the artist believes the infinite connection of everything in the universe, from the past to the present and the future, reflecting Japan‘s unique
beauty and philosophical thinking.

Other unique wood art in the hotel comes from British artist Charlie Whinney, based on an ancient technique called steam bending which heats wood to 100°C for a short period of time allowing the wood to be bent organically reflecting natural movement. The piece in the main restaurant The Tavern Grill & Lounge is suspended in the air and named ”Birds of the Forest.” The wavelike curve of the wood is like a bird‘s flight trace in the air, bringing the essence of the forest into a manmade environment. Another piece named ”Tree Chair” in the lobby is created from the remaining planks of wood from the ”Birds of the Forest” sculpture.

Sitting on the 47th to 50th floors of the Toranomon Hills tower, Andaz Tokyo‘s 164 rooms including 8 suites offer unforgettable panoramic views of Tokyo.

Both designers‘ philosophies and ability to incorporate the Andaz brand concepts are well reflected in their unique designs. On the 51st floor, the Andaz Lounge is an open, communal space for all staying guests, replacing the traditional lobby. In this relaxed, barrierfree atmosphere, guests can settlein as Andaz hosts assist with the check in and check out process. With warm wood furnishings and comfortable chairs, guests are welcome to unwind and feel at home. On the guest room floors, guests will walk through hallways lined with white washi paper and woodcolored lines. The lights on either sides of the hallway gently guide guests to their rooms, preparing them for a relaxing and restful sleep.

The standard rooms at Andaz Tokyo span over 50 square meters, far exceeding the Tokyo hotel average. The use of natural materials such as paper lanterns and walnut wood tables reflect the natural beauty typical of Japanese culture, while the wood framing on the walls give a nostalgic feel reminiscent of a traditional Japanese wooden house. The deep circular bathtub in the bathroom is inspired by Japanese bath culture. Decorative pieces such as the smiling faces bring a playful and relaxed ambiance to the room.

AO Spa & Club at Andaz Tokyo is the ultimate oasis of relaxation,a playground for adults inspired by the Andaz core values. There is a 20metrelong spacious swimming pool, a fitness center outfitted with the latest training equipment and 5 spa treatment rooms. Located on the 37th floor, the hotel‘s iconic floortoceiling windows allow guests to overlook the Imperial Palace from the pool, take in views of the whole city while running, and relax above the clouds during spa treatments.

The Spa‘s reception is called the Blend Bar. Resembling an apothecary‘s counter, glass bottles and containers filled with natural ingredients are elegantly displayed on the reception desk, to be used in personalized treatments for guests.

The 52nd floor Rooftop Bar is located just above the lobby floor, with comfortable sofa seating set by expansive windows. At night, come and enjoy one of the bar‘s signature cocktails with views overlooking the magnificent Tokyo skyline. It is an experience not to be missed at Andaz Tokyo.
