The Mandarin Oriental Tokyo’s location stands upon “the point from which distances between Tokyo and other points in Japan were measured” and this fascinating 400-year-old neighborhood was once the cultural and commercial center of the city and famous for its specialist kimono artisans. It’s upon this history, that Japanese designer Reiko Sudo selected her team of master craftsmen and weavers from all over Japan and displays their custom made fabrics and textures throughout the hotel. All of these elements, water, fire, and the considered use of woven material, come together to give a harmonious feeling of nature and tranquillity.
The Mandarin’s standout luxurious Spa is the place for a lesson in pampering with its sky view sauna, hot spring onsen baths and crystal steam room, set against a backdrop of glass and endless sky.
