ANA InterContinental Tokyo unveils Icon Reborn transformation
ANA
InterContinental Tokyo unveils its transformational 15-month renovation.
Redesigned for today’s modern luxury traveller, the hotel presents 801
revitalised rooms alongside new dining and social concepts. This marks the
beginning of the next chapter in the property’s over 35-year legacy, further
cementing InterContinental’s reputation as a leader of approachable luxury
hospitality, ensuring that guests can continue to explore the world while
feeling right at home.
ANA
InterContinental Tokyo’s redesigned rooms seamlessly harmonise Japanese
craftsmanship with contemporary elegance, ensuring every guest experiences rest
and relaxation. Motifs highlight the concept of 'origami' to embody the essence
of 'unfolding Tokyo' as guests do when discovering their destination.
Dining
and social spaces have been designed to create environments where both guests
and locals can satisfy their desire for knowledge and culturally rich
experiences. The ambiance at the renowned MIXX Bar & Lounge is elevated for
extraordinary celebrations, while the expanded Club InterContinental Lounge,
now spanning two dedicated floors — provides an exclusive space to work, meet,
or socialise, while overlooking Tokyo’s dynamic cityscape. The new Genever
Lobby Bar, rejuvenated Cascade Cafe, and transformed Atrium Lounge each
uniquely reflect Japan’s rich traditions and captivating culture.
Michael
Janssen, General Manager of ANA InterContinental Tokyo, commented: “This
transformation marks an exciting new chapter for ANA InterContinental Tokyo,
enhancing the guest experience with refined elegance. Every detail, from the
exquisitely redesigned rooms to the dynamic dining and social venues, has been
thoughtfully curated to captivate and inspire today’s modern luxury traveller.
We remain committed to delivering an unparalleled five-star experience for the
traveller of today and tomorrow, combining world-class service with timeless
sophistication to create extraordinary moments that create lasting memories
long cherished for many years after our guests have checked out.”
The
renovation of ANA InterContinental Tokyo brings to life the hallmarks of the
InterContinental brand’s evolution, which is being rolled out globally. As the
world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand, InterContinental has been
pioneering travel experiences for over 75 years. This transformative,
end-to-end brand evolution is reimagining the luxury travel experience for
today’s modern luxury traveller, rooted in the brand’s core belief that travel
has the power to expand minds and connect cultures.
A
New Standard of Hospitality and Design
Situated
in the heart of Tokyo, ANA InterContinental Tokyo embodies the city’s vibrant
energy through thoughtfully designed elements that celebrate Japanese heritage.
Redesigned guest rooms feature geometric patterns inspired by origami,
complemented by custom carpeting that pays homage to cherry blossoms, set
against a backdrop of traditional hues such as Sakura pink and pale indigo
(kamenozoki).
The
redesigned rooms also introduce two exclusive suite categories — Mizu and Sora
Suites — which offer an elevated Japanese aesthetic with contemporary comforts.
This variety, attention to detail, and thoughtful design ensure that each stay
provides an authentic yet modern interpretation of Japan’s rich cultural
tapestry
Elevating
the Club InterContinental Experience
The
Club InterContinental Lounge has been expanded across the 35th and 36th floors.
Inspired by the tranquillity of a Japanese garden, the newly introduced 36th
floor harmoniously blends traditional tea ceremony elements with modern
sophistication high above the city.
Guests
staying in Club InterContinental Rooms and Suites can enjoy exclusive
privileges, including personalised service, a bespoke breakfast, all-day
refreshments, curated cultural activities, and thoughtfully designed menus for
little ones.
Reimagined
Culinary and Social Experiences
The
hotel’s extensive renovation goes beyond accommodations, redefining its dining
and gathering spaces to offer an unparalleled culinary journey in the heart of
Tokyo.
Cascade

guests on a global culinary journey featuring dishes from over 10 countries.
Enhanced by interactive cooking stations, the buffet concept offers an engaging
experience where guests can witness authentic culinary techniques first-hand.
Atrium
Lounge unveils a sophisticated new design alongside the innovative
‘Marketplace’ concept, seamlessly blending convenience with luxury. Mobile
ordering enhances the dining experience, while the ever-popular seasonal
Afternoon Tea remains a highlight for both locals and international visitors.
Genever
Lobby Bar the hotel’s latest addition offers a cosy yet refined setting
where tradition meets innovation. Signature gin-based cocktails include the
exclusive Last Elysium, a sustainable in-house creation made from sake kasu and
orange peels reflecting a commitment to sustainability and exceptional quality.
MIXX
Bar & Lounge perched on the 36th floor, has been revitalised to
enhance its panoramic skyline views, offering an elevated dining and social
experience in an ambience that effortlessly blends luxury with contemporary
vibrancy.
Together,
these enhancements reaffirm ANA InterContinental Tokyo’s position as a leading
luxury destination for refined stays, business gatherings, and social
celebrations. With an unwavering commitment to hospitality excellence, cultural
authenticity, and contemporary innovation, ANA InterContinental Tokyo continues
to set new benchmarks in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
