Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi
A calm, sky-high base above Otemachi, with Imperial Palace views and a pool high over the city.
The lobby sits on the 39th floor, and that sets the tone. You arrive into quiet, with the Imperial Palace gardens below and, on clear days, Mount Fuji on the horizon. Rooms are large for Tokyo, with floor-to-ceiling windows, deep soaking tubs and proper blackout. Dining is a reason to stay in: Est holds a Michelin star, Pigneto does relaxed Italian and the breakfast, and VIRTÙ has featured on Asia's 50 Best Bars. The pool and spa sit high above the city. Otemachi station is directly below, and Tokyo Station is a short walk underground.
What guests say
Service is the theme that comes up most. Guests describe staff who remember plans, mark birthdays and anniversaries, and secure hard-to-get restaurant tables. Breakfast, with its Japanese and Western spreads, earns near-constant praise. A few find the financial district quiet at night, and one guest wished the spa baths stayed open later.
Guest highlights
- An anniversary couple found a message written on their window, champagne in the room and fruit plates at breakfast all stay.
- A guest who swims every day chose it for the pool, and walked underground from Tokyo Station in about ten minutes.
- Several guests loved the Four Seasons pyjamas so much they bought a pair to take home.

What travellers say online
What people love
- Rooms high in the tower look over the Imperial Palace gardens and the skyline, with Mount Fuji on clear days.
- Service is warm and polished, and staff are quick to sort out room changes or early arrivals.
- The 39th-floor spa, indoor pool and gym share the city views and are consistently praised.
- Breakfast, the VIRTÙ bar and est restaurant are highlights for many guests.
Watch-outs
- Not every room faces the Imperial Palace; some city views look onto nearby offices, so book a palace view.
- Otemachi is a business district and quiet in the evening; take the metro or a taxi for dinner out.
- The bar and breakfast room can fill up at busy times; reserve VIRTÙ or go to breakfast early.
