It needs a bit of excitement thrown in, with the occasional waiter getting a red card for punching someone.
Also worth noting that in Gallivanter's Guide, Aman Tokyo came 2nd best city hotel in the world for 2017. Quite the rise from when it first opened.
You just have to know when to give the hairdryer treatment!

No complaints as we are in Tokyo with absolutely no shortage of awesome food at any price range. Andaz’s happy hour offering is for all in-house guests and consists of red, white wine and sake plus two to three types of cold finger foods.
People need to realize that it's not really a lounge at Andaz. No dedicated servers, meals, canapes, fruit spread, etc. It's supposed to be a living room kind of concept where you would hangout as long as you would like and maybe drink something. They put high quality local sake offerings there but that's as far as they go.
Luxury Hotels with lounges for this forum include:
