At the heart of the vast and ever-pulsating urban flux that is Tokyo, a striking new tower now steadily rises. Hyatt Hotels’ first Andaz hotel in Japan, Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills opened in the second-tallest high rise in this dynamic capital. Literally meaning “Tiger’s Gate,” Toranomon was the name of the gate of Edo Castle. To protect this sacred land, temples and shrines built and still remain with enduring attractions. Tokyo Metropolis redevelop this area to be ready for the Tokyo Olympic in 2020, which means Toranomon become a bridge between Tokyo’s fascinating past and dynamic future. Andaz means “Personal Style” in Hindi, representing a new philosophy of service in a sophisticated yet unscripted style. Since its 2007 debut in London, Andaz has offered an environment free of barriers, where ideas are exchanged and encouraged. The hotel offers 164 rooms, of which eight are specialty suites. Wi-Fi, local calls, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages are complimentary for all registered guests. From the tower’s apex on the 52nd floor, Andaz brings unprecedented rooftop flair to this city’s dining and entertainment scene, with breathtaking views from Rooftop bar, the city highest stand-alone wedding chapel and flexible event and meeting spaces. Next to Andaz Lounge on the 51st floor is the main dining venue, Andaz Tavern. The menu serves refined European provincial cuisine cooked with Japanese produce. Andaz Tokyo guests enjoy access to AO Spa & Club on the 37th floor with a unique 20-metre pool overlooking the Imperial Palace.
