Top-floor rooftop bar, Tokyo skyline 360° — solo trip with a 51st-floor view.
"Top-floor rooftop bar, Tokyo skyline 360° — solo trip with a 51st-floor view."
Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills opened in 2014 on floors 47 through 52 of the Toranomon Hills Mori Tower (the same complex as the Tokyo EDITION Toranomon, opened six years earlier). Tony Chi designed the property — washi paper, indigo cotton, dark wood — and the lobby on the 51st floor is the most-cinematic of the Toranomon-Hills cluster. One hundred and sixty-four rooms, the upper-tier rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass and a Mount-Fuji-direction view on a clear winter day. The Andaz Tavern (the in-house restaurant) and the 52nd-floor Rooftop Bar are the dining-and-after-day spaces; the Pool & Spa on the 37th floor is the working morning recovery. Andaz Tokyo is the right pick for the solo retreat at a more-accessible price point than Aman or Bulgari, with the Toranomon-Hills district as the working asset — the Mori Art Museum (a 15-minute walk), the Roppongi Hills cluster, and the strong Hyatt brand-loyalty value for points-earning solo travellers.
Andaz Suite (the multi-room flagship) or Andaz Large King for the corner-suite product.
The Rooftop Bar at 6.30pm has the strongest 360° Tokyo skyline view in central Tokyo. Use the 37th-floor pool at 7am for the morning recovery — empty until 8am. The Andaz brand's complimentary minibar is genuinely complimentary.
Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Tokyo for a Solo Retreat list. It scored an aggregate 9.5/10 across the three editorial criteria — competitive against the field but, on a solo retreat-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Tokyo neighbourhood, see Toranomon and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces — the ones that earn this rank — are typically the first to sell out.
