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,

has the power to expand minds and connect cultures.
A
New Standard of Hospitality and Design

in the heart of Tokyo, ANA InterContinental Tokyo embodies the city’s vibrant
energy through thoughtfully designed elements that celebrate Japanese heritage.

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
