Where proud tradition meets modern luxury

ANA InterContinental Tokyo’s redesigned rooms seamlessly harmonise Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary elegance, ensuring every guest experiences rest and relaxation. 

Motifs highlight the concept of ‘origami’ to embody the essence of ‘unfolding Tokyo’ as guests do when discovering their destination.

Dining and social spaces have been designed to create environments where both guests and locals can satisfy their desire for knowledge and culturally rich experiences. 

The ambiance at the renowned MIXX Bar & Lounge is elevated for extraordinary celebrations, while the expanded Club InterContinental Lounge, now spanning two dedicated floors, provides an exclusive space to work, meet, or socialise, while overlooking Tokyo’s dynamic cityscape. 

The new Genever Lobby Bar, rejuvenated Cascade Cafe, and transformed Atrium Lounge each uniquely reflect Japan’s rich traditions and captivating culture.

The renovation of ANA InterContinental Tokyo brings to life the hallmarks of the InterContinental brand’s evolution, which is being rolled out globally. 

As the world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand, InterContinental has been pioneering travel experiences for over 75 years. 

This transformative, end-to-end brand evolution is reimagining the luxury travel experience for today’s modern luxury traveller, rooted in the brand’s core belief that travel has the power to expand minds and connect cultures.

Raising the bar for hospitality and design

Located in the heart of Tokyo, ANA InterContinental Tokyo embodies the city’s vibrant energy through thoughtfully designed elements that celebrate Japanese heritage. 

Redesigned guest rooms feature geometric patterns inspired by origami, complemented by custom carpeting that pays homage to cherry blossoms, set against a backdrop of traditional hues such as Sakura pink and Kamenozoki indigo.

The redesigned rooms also introduce two exclusive suite categories, Mizu and Sora, which offer an elevated Japanese aesthetic with contemporary comforts. 

This variety, attention to detail, and thoughtful design ensure that each stay provides an authentic yet modern interpretation of Japan’s rich cultural tapestry
