The JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo has opened as a new haven for business travellers to Takanawa Gateway City, the city’s newest urban destination.
With an art and design narrative inspired by Zen philosophy and the natural beauty of Takanawa, the hotel, the second JW Marriott property in Japan, is located in the heart of pairs elegance with excellent connectivity and seamless access to the heart of Tokyo and beyond.
A Vibrant New Destination
Conveniently located above the new Takanawa Gateway Station, the new hotel is easily reached from Tokyo Haneda Airport, which is about 20 minutes away. The property is also within walking distance to Shinagawa Station, which is planned to serve as the terminus for the Chuo Shinkansen connecting Tokyo with other major cities in Japan, including Nagoya (40 minutes) and Osaka (65 minutes).
A Sanctuary for Corporate Travellers
Crafted by the internationally acclaimed design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the design narrative of JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo is envisioned as a timeless sanctuary of balance and mindfulness. At the entrance on the ground floor, there is an installation featuring Zen rocks and a mirrored Mount Fuji – an iconic symbol of Japan once visible from Takanawa – further reflects the spirit of harmony, well-being, and timelessness woven throughout the hotel.
On the 30th floor, the reception area greets guests with sweeping views inspired by the historical Tokyo Bay horizon and the scenic Gotenyama Hill. These vistas are complemented by traditional Kamakura-bori-inspired artworks and photographic art by Sho Makishima.
At the heart of the Lobby Lounge is the Tree House, a luminous centrepiece where tree leaves are transformed into glass artworks. Created in collaboration with acclaimed Czech glassmaker Lasvit, this installation radiantly expresses the artistry of nature within the hotel’s serene environment.
Rooms for Modern Travellers
The 200 stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites feature modern Japanese interiors crafted with serene tones and natural materials inspired by the earthy textures of a garden. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping Tokyo city views, creating spaces that inspire mindfulness, stillness, and serenity. Elegant bathrooms are thoughtfully curated with indulgent, sustainable amenities.
The hotel will also debut the brand’s signature Mindful Rooms and Suites – thoughtfully designed for travellers seeking a more intentional and personalised stay. Each Mindful Room is a calming sanctuary for the senses, and these accommodations inspire rest, reflection, and well-being. As the first JW Marriott hotel in Asia to feature this innovative accommodation offering, the Mindful Rooms and Suites are set to launch in December 2025.
Perched on the 27th floor, the hotel’s Executive Lounge provides an elevated sanctuary with sweeping views of Tokyo’s dynamic skyline, where business travellers are invited to indulge in curated presentations throughout the day, including breakfast with made-to-order hot entrées, afternoon tea, evening hors d’oeuvres, and chocolates and cordials, complemented by attentive and personalised service.
Exceptional Dining
The hotel’s restaurants and bars, helmed by culinary director Conrado Trompare, are intimate, experience-rich spaces and include Kakō, a refined dining experience honouring the tradition of washoku cuisine, where each dish, laced with ingredients from the JW Garden, reflects Japan’s seasonal beauty and harmony and can be paired with selections from an extensive sake menu; and Saki, an intimate eight-seat avant-garde kappo restaurant created through a collaboration between chef Kazumine Nishida of two-Michelin-starred Shoukouwa and chef-owner Emmanuel Stroobant of two-starred Saint Pierre.
On the 29th floor, Modern Mediterranean restaurant Sefino represents a partnership with chef Agustin Balbi from the one-Michelin starred Andō, and features a striking ‘Spring in France’ mural and wine cellar passage, while Le Cres offers artisanal croissants, infused with unique Japanese flavours such as matcha and citrus.
Adjacent to the reception, the hotel’s signature JW Bar serves original cocktails and fine champagnes by the glass, in a sophisticated setting with stunning views of Tokyo’s skyline as its backdrop, while the JW Lounge, perfect for quiet moments, casual meetings, or indulgent breaks, is an inclusive space for guests to relax or connect over handcrafted drinks, light bites, and the hotel’s signature seasonal afternoon tea.
After-hours Pampering
Situated on the 28th floor, the hotel’s breathtaking pool area features a quarry-inspired stone backdrop and floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of the city, including Tokyo Tower. The signature Spa by JW offers holistic, rejuvenating modern spa treatments infused with Japanese wellness traditions. Guests can maintain their fitness routines with cutting-edge equipment and expert training at the hotel’s modern Fitness Centre.
