History
The hotel opened on May 20, 2003 as Strings Hotel Tokyo on the upper floors of Shinagawa East One Tower in the Konan district of Minato, Tokyo.

In 2007, after the IHG-ANA Hotels reorganization, the property was renamed The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo and later became InterContinental The Strings Tokyo. The hotel was renovated in 2019, when new restaurants, bars, and the Club InterContinental lounge were introduced. The property currently has 206 guest rooms and its dining area includes the noted Score Dining, with live music.
