We arrived late in the afternoon. Typical Aman welcome. Jefferey (GM) and about half a dozen staff members were waiting. Very easy valet parking. The entrance is on the ground floor with a small but nice reception area. Here's a picture of the building and entrance.



The lobby is on the 33rd floor and you get there by express elevator. Check in is in your room, but we spent a little time looking around the lobby before heading up. The lobby is just stunning. Definitely a nice place to just hang out. Photos don't do justice but here's an attempt. The ceiling is 80 feet high.



In the photo at the far end of the lobby, there are several rooms including a board/meeting room, a library (mandatory for all Amans), and a cigar room. Here's a pic of the cigar room.



The restaurant and the bar are just off the lobby facing west (left on the picture of the lobby). There is also a nice sitting area off to the side of the lobby. Great views of the city, the Imperial Palace and Mt. Fuji as you can see below.



After checking things out, we headed to our room and then got in a quick swim before dinner.

Since it was opening night, there was a dinner hosted by Aman for the guests. The level of cuisine is so high in Tokyo it's hard to make comparisons. It would definitely be worth going there just for dinner. If they can consistently serve the kind of food we had at dinner and stay creative with they menu, they'll get a reputation as one of the very best restaurants in Tokyo.

There is only one restaurant so we were back there for breakfast. My wife had the Japanese breakfast and I had the American breakfast. Both were very good. I have a thing about people who always want to take pictures of what they are eating... so sorry folks...no food pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't get any great photos of the restaurant either. It's a very comfortable.... high ceiling, intimate without being crowded and did I mention the views...



As I said in my first post, the rooms are a little too zen for me, I'd like to see more decoration. We were upgraded to a suite. Here's a picture of the entrance.



As you walk in, there is a sitting/dining room to the right...



The main bedroom is off to the left.



As I said, the rooms are little too Sparta meets Zen for me, but the bathroom makes up for it.




The room is really well laid out. Very good controls for lighting, curtains, HVAC, toilets (definitely Japan). The only thing weird was that there's a VGA connector above the bed, but no USB ports. (How you forget the UBS ports I don't know.) The seating area is very comfortable. Our suite faced north and you actually get a view of Sky Tree, the city sprawl and the mountains to the North. I did not get to see them, but I think most of the rooms on the west side will have the best views.

After breakfast we headed to the pool. The pool is great..... 33 meters, perfect temperature, high ceilings and great views. There are also electric outlets next to the daybeds, which makes it a lot easier to spend several hours by the pool with my laptop. Here are a couple of pictures of the pool.



And another. (You can see Fuji out the window.)



Definitely one of the great city hotel pools.

The gym is very well equipped. Not quite Puri, but pretty impressive for Tokyo.



I had a treatment in the spa. Excellent massage, but the treatment rooms are again pretty spartan for my tastes. I also wished they had designed them with a view out over the city. Instead they put small individual sitting areas between the treatment rooms and the windows. Nice view for tea after your massage, but a bit of waste. The views would have been spectacular if you could see out from the treatment rooms.

Anyway, it's an absolutely beautiful hotel. I'll try to add a bit more about the service later.
