The hype
Reviewers are universally awestruck by the lobby and hard product, but divided on whether the service justifies the $2,000+ nightly tag.
Aman Tokyo
$1,500-3,500+ / Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want the ultimate 'Lost in Translation' moment in a minimalist stone cathedral high above the Tokyo chaos.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- The 30-meter black basalt pool is arguably the most photogenic swim in Tokyo
- Entry-level rooms are massive (71sqm), dwarfing almost every other luxury hotel in the city
- The Kerry Hill design—washi paper, stone, and camphor wood—feels like a modern temple
Kurzfassung: It’s breathtakingly beautiful and ruinously expensive, but the service can feel a bit stiff compared to the warmth of a traditional ryokan.
Bewertet von @ginagoesto: I honestly think this is the best hotel in Tokyo. The suite felt like a private sanctuary with massive windows and gorgeous Japanese design. Soaking in that black stone tub while looking out at the city skyline was a core memory for me. Absolutely worth the splurge.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
Long-time Amanjunkies note that the hotel is showing subtle signs of 'middle age' (scuffed wood, aging gym tech) after a decade of operation.
- You are a design nerd who worships symmetry and minimalism
- You need absolute silence and darkness to sleep
- You want to swim laps while looking at Mount Fuji

- Maintenance: Generally excellent, though some guests note minor scuffs on the wood floors and aging gym equipment.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count sheets and thick, fluffy towels that feel brand new.

Insider-Tipps
- ✨
The 'Café by Aman' is actually on the ground floor in the Otemachi Forest, not in the sky lobby—it's great for a cheaper, casual lunch.
- ✨
Order the Wagyu Burger in The Lounge; it's legendary and cheaper than a full dinner at Arva.
- ✨
The concierge can book hard-to-get tables, but you need to email them weeks in advance.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'Otemachi Forest' at the base is a man-made woodland that's surprisingly convincing.
💡The TV is hidden in the ottoman at the foot of the bed and rises up mechanically.
💡There is a lone PowerPlate machine in the gym that looks like a relic from 2014.
💡The lobby ceiling is 30 meters high and designed to look like the inside of a washi paper lantern.
💡You might feel 'watched' by staff who seem to appear out of nowhere (the 'ninja service' is real).
