The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo

Location & practical

Tokyo, from the 45th Floor

  • Spectacular views from the 45th floor.
  • Exceptional Japanese and French dining.
  • Grand hotel elegance, Japanese hospitality.
  • €500–3,200 / night
  • 245 rooms
  • Roppongi / Tokyo Midtown, Minato

At The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, checking in takes place on the 45th floor. By the time you've reached reception, Roppongi has become a patchwork of rooftops and, on a clear day, Mount Fuji appears beyond the city. The hotel crowns Midtown Tower, with the Suntory Museum of Art and 21_21 Design Sight almost at its feet. An excellent address for anyone with an appetite for art, architecture and good food.

Inside, the mood is unmistakably grand hotel: marble, deep armchairs, attentive service and rooms generously proportioned by Tokyo standards. The interiors favour international elegance over Japanese minimalism. For something more distinctive, ask for the Modern Japanese Suite, where tatami, shoji screens and traditional textiles contrast beautifully with the skyline.

Food gives you good reason to linger. Hinokizaka devotes separate spaces to sushi, tempura, teppanyaki and kaiseki, while Michelin starred Héritage by Kei Kobayashi brings French technique to exceptional Japanese ingredients. Celebrated pastry chef Nina Métayer has also opened a pâtisserie here, making dessert a destination in its own right. A spa and swimming pool on the 46th floor complete a rather persuasive argument for spending the occasional afternoon indoors.

The atmosphere is cosmopolitan rather than intimate, and the pleasures are those of a traditional grand hotel, delivered with Japanese precision. By all means explore Roppongi. Just keep an evening free for the hotel itself. Tokyo can manage without you for a few hours.

The Flânons choice

Which room would we choose?

Modern Japanese Suite for a stronger sense of Japanese craftsmanship, with tatami and wood screens set against the Tokyo skyline. Choose the Club Carlton Suite instead if panoramic corner views and separate living space matter most.

Worth knowing

  • Room orientation matters as much as floor level: the outlook can be towards Mount Fuji and Shinjuku, the Imperial Palace gardens or Tokyo Bay, with weather affecting long-distance visibility.
  • The hotel occupies the upper floors of a modern mixed-use tower; expect international grand-hotel interiors rather than the intimacy of a historic Japanese ryokan.
  • Club Lounge access is restricted to eligible bookings or paid upgrades, not automatically granted by Marriott Bonvoy elite status; children younger than 12 have restricted lounge hours.
  • The hotel welcomes families, but the spa heat facilities and treatments are for guests aged 16 and over, while pool access for ages 4–15 requires adult supervision.
  • Restaurant, spa and special suite reservations are best made well in advance, particularly around holidays and busy travel periods.
  • The hotel periodically posts maintenance and temporary closure notices; check current announcements if travelling around late November.
