The Tokyo EDITION Toranomon
Roppongi pause, glass-walled lobby, the design-led solo trip.
Roppongi pause, glass-walled lobby, the design-led solo trip.
"Ian Schrager’s first Tokyo EDITION: a plant-filled glass lobby on the 31st floor of Toranomon Hills, Kengo Kuma’s warm-wood interiors, and Tokyo Tower framed from the south-facing rooms."
Why this rank: The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon opened in October 2020 at the Toranomon Hills development, the Marriott-Ian Schrager EDITION brand’s Tokyo debut. It holds 206 rooms (including 22 suites) on the upper floors of the Toranomon Hills Business Tower, with interiors by Kengo Kuma for Schrager: washi, dark timber and a two-storey planted lobby reached by lift to the 31st floor. The Toranomon position on the southern edge of central Tokyo puts Tokyo Tower in view from south-facing rooms, with Ginza a couple of Metro stops away. Dining centres on The Jade Room + Garden Terrace, the 31st-floor signature restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens, where the planted open-air terrace sits some 140 metres above the street; the ground-floor Gold Bar handles the cocktails and the Lobby Bar the daytime hours. The design-led register reads differently from Tokyo’s heritage grandes dames and suits the creative-industry traveller. The honest trade-off is that this is a tower hotel in a business cluster, short on the quiet garden calm of an Okura or a Hoshinoya. Best for design-led stays and Tokyo Tower views.
Best room: Penthouse Suite - top-floor with private outdoor terrace, Tokyo Tower view.
"A glass-walled lobby in the sky, Kengo Kuma’s warm wood, and Tom Aikens cooking under a rooftop garden: the design-led face of modern Tokyo."
The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon opened in October 2020 in the Toranomon Hills district, with the lobby on the 31st floor of the tower and the 206 rooms above. It is Ian Schrager’s first Tokyo property, and Kengo Kuma’s architecture pulls a traditional Japanese material vocabulary, washi paper, dark wood, indigo cotton, into a contemporary high-rise. Every room has floor-to-ceiling glass and a deep soaking tub. The signature restaurant is The Jade Room + Garden Terrace by Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens, where the planted terrace sits roughly 140 metres up; the ground-floor Gold Bar is the cocktail room and the Lobby Bar covers the daylight hours. It earns its Tokyo rank on design and view rather than heritage: less expensive than Aman or Bulgari, genuinely distinctive, and a 15-minute walk from the Roppongi Hills and Mori Art Museum cluster. What it is not is a quiet garden retreat; the setting is unapologetically a glass tower in a business district.
Tokyo Suite (the corner suite with the largest soaking tub) or Premier Tokyo Suite for the entry-level option.
Book The Jade Room + Garden Terrace for a clear evening and ask for a terrace table; the rooftop garden with Tokyo Tower beyond is the reason to come. The Gold Bar downstairs is best late, after the dinner rush thins. Walk to the Mori Art Museum on the second day, about fifteen minutes through Toranomon Hills.
The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon sits within our Top 20 Tokyo Hotels 2026 at #12. It scored an aggregate 9.6/10 across our editorial criteria, holding its own in a deep Tokyo field on the strength of design and views rather than heritage or service ritual. For the nearer rivals on the list, see the siblings below.
Have firm dates? Our editor's advice is to book roughly twelve weeks in advance. Expect the best-positioned suites to go early; in the busy season the lead time is months, not weeks. It is the terrace and plunge-pool suites, the rooms this rank rests on, that book up soonest.
Editorial · #12 on the Top 20 Tokyo Hotels 2026 list
The Tokyo EDITION Toranomon ranks #12 as the first Marriott-Schrager EDITION property to bring contemporary design language to Tokyo. The 2020 opening at the Toranomon Hills business tower paired Kengo Kuma's exterior architecture with Schrager's interior design vocabulary - the combination produced a hotel format unlike anything in Tokyo at the time.
For Tokyo visitors, EDITION Toranomon is the address for design-led visitors, for creative-industry business travel, and for stays calibrated to the Tokyo Tower view (the property's south-facing rooms face Tokyo Tower directly, with the Shibakoen park and Zojoji temple in the foreground). The Jade Room rooftop bar with Tokyo Tower view is the property's most-photographed setting. The Penthouse Suite has a private outdoor terrace.
