History
Opened in December 2005 as the first Mandarin Oriental in Japan, located in the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower in Tokyo's historic Nihonbashi district, blending modern luxury with Japanese cultural elements like woods and water themes. The property underwent a significant guestroom renovation in 2019, incorporating bespoke Japanese fabrics and nature-inspired designs by Reiko Sudo and Ryu Kosaka. It has earned global acclaim for its service and design, including being named Best Hotel in the World in 2010.
The setting
Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo crowns the upper floors of Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, a skyscraper linked to the landmarked 1929 Mitsui Honkan — a Beaux-Arts building housing the Mitsui Memorial Museum — in Nihonbashi, the neighbourhood where Takatoshi Mitsui opened his Echigoya store in 1673 and which the Tokugawa shogunate designated the starting point of Japan's Five Routes in 1604. Tokyo Station lies a short walk east; the Tokyo Stock Exchange anchors the district just south. The hotel's elevated position above Mitsukoshi-mae Station delivers panoramic views toward the Imperial Palace and, on clear days, Mount Fuji — a privileged vantage over three centuries of Japanese commercial history.
