The opening of The Tokyo Edition, Toranomon is something of a homecoming for Ian Schrager. The legendary hotelier has long been inspired by Japan—he even hosted Issey Miyake’s first ever US fashion show in the 1970s at his nightclub, Studio 54 (maybe you've heard of it). 

It goes without saying, everything Schrager touches turns to cool. 

The Tokyo Edition, Toranomon was designed by famed architect Kengo Kuma, whose signature ode-to-nature approach to design can be seen throughout the hotel. From the jungle-like lobby to the slatted wood wall features and gold leaf artworks.

The Blue Room restaurant, which is connected to the lobby, steals the show with royal blue velvet banquettes, double-height views across Tokyo and plenty of plants. 

In more private quarters, each of the 206 guest rooms feature light wood fittings with crisp white linens, and stunning skyline views. And if they're available, it's definitely worth booking one of the 15 exclusive suites that come with a private terrace.
