Fairmont Tokyo: five restaurants, two bars and skyline-view pools in Minato

Fairmont Tokyo opened in July 2025 at No. 1-1, Shibaura 1-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo. It is located on the top floor of a new landmark building in Minato-ku. One side looks towards Tokyo Tower and the other side stretches towards Tokyo Bay, becoming one of the viewing points on the Tokyo skyline. The hotel does not deliberately pile up Japanese elements or complicated decorations, but presents the accommodation experience with a transparent spatial layout and a broad view.

What are the characteristics of the hotel lobby?

The lobby deliberately maintains a tranquil atmosphere, without exaggerated floral arrangements or complicated welcome ceremonies. The open horizontal space allows the line of sight to extend to the sky, bay and city scenery outside the window. The service style is cordial and subtle, combining international standards with a sense of Japanese hospitality. There is a black Labrador named Serene resident in the lobby, serving as the hotel's so-called "Chief Happiness Officer", sometimes interacting with guests, sometimes lying quietly aside.

How to present the guest room design and landscape?

Take the 88-square-meter Fairmont Gold Suite as an example. The room is located in a corner, and the floor-to-ceiling windows frame the day and night scenery of Tokyo into the room. During the day, the busy city skyline is visible, and the lights gradually light up after dark. The interior uses light-colored wood, stone and matte fabrics, allowing the scenery outside the window to become the visual protagonist, and is equipped with a separate living room and bedroom layout. The bathroom is well-lit and designed with comfort and practicality in mind.

What styles do the five restaurants offer?

The hotel plans catering as a progressive experience, with a total of five restaurants with different styles. Vue Mer specializes in French-Japanese fusion with sea views; Totsuji specializes in Teppanyaki; Kiln & Tonic presents Mediterranean and California-style cuisine in a wood-fired oven during the day; after dusk, move to the Driftwood Grill & Bar on the 43rd floor, which takes Japanese Western food culture as the core and reinterprets classic dishes such as curry beef rice and hamburger steak, and uses seasonal Japanese ingredients. Migiwa, the Itamae sushi bar with only six seats, is a more delicate part of the overall dining experience. The chef uses seasonal fish and sashimi with kintsugi-repaired tableware to present the cuisine philosophy of incomplete beauty. At the end, there is freshly prepared hojicha ice cream and shamisen performance.

What bars can I choose for the night?

The hotel has two bars with different styles. Yoi-to-Yoi continues the spirit of the Japanese standing bar with a relaxed atmosphere, specializing in highball and plum wine with snacks; the other Off Record is a secret vinyl music bar with top-notch speakers and rare spirits. The lights of Tokyo Tower can be seen outside the glass window.

What are the characteristics of the spa and the surrounding environment?

The wellness area includes a 20-metre indoor infinity pool, an outdoor relaxation pool and a terrace, with views over Tokyo Tower and the city skyline. The treatment begins with a personalized foot scrub, combined with Mikimoto pearl oil, lymphatic drainage and acupressure techniques. The hotel is within walking distance of the historic Zojoji Temple, and the surrounding neighborhoods are a mixture of yakitori restaurants, family-run soba shops, and old-school tempura specialty shops.
