Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has landed in Tokyo, marking the brand’s Japan debut.
Thoughtfully designed by Bar Studio, the hotel’s interiors intertwine artistry with urban vibrancy through a harmonious fusion of colour, texture and light. Curated artworks – including those inspired by traditional Japanese techniques like Kintsugi and weaving – pay homage to Japan’s rich artistic heritage.
Fairmont Tokyo offers 217 rooms, including 29 suites, ranging from 52-278m2, located on the 36th-42nd floors, each with floor-to-ceiling windows. Seating areas, inspired by the traditional Japanese ‘Engawa’, create a transitory space between the interior and exterior. The top three signature suites stand out with bespoke furnishings, curated artworks and amenities.
Ascending to the 35th-floor lobby, guests are greeted by an expansive space adorned with lush greenery, opening onto outdoor terraces overlooking the bay.
At the heart of the hotel’s guest offering is culinary excellence, with seven distinctive dining and drinking venues that reflect the vibrant food culture of Tokyo. Kiln & Tonic brings coastal charm with wood-fired pizzas, grilled seafood and vibrant brasserie fare, complimented by an extended outdoor terrace offering views of Tokyo Tower, while Vue Mer blends French and Japanese cafe culture through elegant afternoon teas, seasonal cocktails and panoramic bay views.
At Migiwa and Totsuji, traditional sushi and teppanyaki are reimagined with refined creativity, honouring heritage while embracing innovation. Driftwood elevates Yoshoku cuisine with seasonal ingredients and inventive cocktails. Yoi to Yoi meanwhile serves up elevated Japanese street food with highballs, and Off Record offers an intimate escape into Tokyo’s secret listening bar scene, where vinyl, rare spirits and soulful bites create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
The Fairmont Spa and Health Club offers original spa treatments, inspired by the destination. Bathed in natural light, the 24-hour gym offers state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, a comprehensive free weights section and two studios. There is also a 20m indoor infinity pool, outdoor sundeck by the relaxation pool and soothing saunas.
“The opening of Fairmont Tokyo marks a major milestone as we proudly bring the Fairmont brand to Japan for the first time, entering one of the most refined and inspiring hospitality landscapes in the world,” comments Omer Acar, Chief Executive Officer, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. “Rooted in the duality of Tokyo’s tradition and modernity, the hotel is more than a destination for global travellers. It is a gathering place for the local community.
“Fairmont Tokyo blends thoughtful innovation with the spirit of omotenashi – the deeply rooted Japanese approach to hospitality that emphasizes mindfulness, sincerity, and anticipation of guests’ needs. Whether it’s afternoon tea overlooking Tokyo Bay, an intimate moment at the Chef’s Sushi bar, or a rare spirit discovery at the hotel’s speakeasy, each experience is designed to make special happen.”
