The hotel
A tree in the banking district.
Mandarin Oriental opened in Tokyo on 2 December 2005, at the top of the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower designed by Cesar Pelli. The tower stands in Nihonbashi, the city's banking quarter, with Ginza a short ride away, and the MICHELIN inspectors note that the interiors are more restrained than the brand's usual style, to suit the neighbourhood. Ten restaurants and bars came with the opening, and in its early years three of them held Michelin stars.
The design starts from woods and water: the hotel was imagined as one large living tree, with the guest rooms as its branches. The lobby sits on the 38th floor, the rooms below it on floors 30 to 36. The designer Reiko Sudo worked on the interiors, and the windows look west to the palace gardens and east to Tokyo Skytree, with Mount Fuji beyond the palace on a clear day.
- The spa On the 37th floor, with four treatment rooms and five spa suites above the city.
- More than ten places to eat French at Signature, Cantonese at Sense, a tapas counter, a sushi bar and a pizza bar on the 38th floor, among others.
- Ginza nearby The shops of Ginza and the department stores of Nihonbashi are a short ride away, and Tokyo Station is close.
