Fairmont has made its debut in Japan with Fairmont Tokyo, a 217-room hotel with seven restaurants and bars, a spa and health club and views of both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Bay.
Located in a new urban redevelopment in Tokyo’s Minato Ward, guests are greeted at the high-rise hotel by Serene, a Labrador retriever who is the ‘Chief Happiness Officer’.
Design pays homage to Japanese heritage with a series of curated artworks inspired by traditional Japanese techniques like Kintsugi and weaving, and seating areas are inspired by the traditional Engawa (a deck) linking the indoors and outdoors.
Wining, dining and wellness
There are seven restaurants and bars, including Kiln & Tonic on the 35th floor for wood-fired pizzas, grilled seafood, and brasserie fare, and Vue Mer blending French and Japanese cafe culture.
Head to Migiwa and Totsuji for traditional sushi and teppanyaki “reimagined with refined creativity”, while Off Record is the place to listen to vinyls and sip rare spirits.
The spa and health club has a 24-hour gym with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, a free weights section, and two studios. There’s also a 20-metre indoor infinity pool and outdoor sundeck.
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Chief Executive Officer Omer Acar says, “The opening 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”.
“The hotel blends thoughtful innovation with the spirit of omotenashi – the deeply rooted Japanese approach to hospitality that emphasises 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.”
Fairmont Tokyo General Manager Karan Singh says, “Shibaura’s transformation from an Edo-period coastal village to a vibrant area beautifully aligns with Fairmont’s legacy of timeless destinations worldwide”.
“Together with our Chief Happiness Officer, Serene, we are committed to becoming the social epicentre in Tokyo, welcoming each guest with warmth and authenticity.
“We offer an unparalleled luxury experience that connects people and culture, resonating deeply.”
