Tokyo’s skyline will welcome a new jewel this fall with the debut of JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo on October 2, 2025. Rising above the innovative Takanawa Gateway City development, the 200-room hotel marks the luxury brand’s first venture into the world’s largest metropolis, offering a tranquil urban retreat in the heart of one of the globe’s most dynamic capitals.

Occupying floors 23 through 30 of the South Tower in Takanawa Gateway City, the property commands sweeping views of the city and Tokyo Bay. The design, led by acclaimed New York studio Yabu Pushelberg, draws inspiration from Zen philosophy and the natural beauty of nearby Goten-yama.

Interiors are enriched with cultural artistry — ceramic works by Tomonari Hashimoto, intricate Kamakura-style cloud carvings, and evocative photography by Sho Makishima — creating an atmosphere that is at once serene, refined, and deeply connected to place.

With seven distinct dining venues, the hotel promises to be as much a destination for locals as for travelers. Collaborations with Michelin-starred consulting chefs Nishida Kazumine and Emmanuel Stroobant set the tone for a world-class gastronomic experience.

• Saki – A modern kappo restaurant reinterpreting traditional Japanese multi-course dining with seasonal precision.
  

• Kako – A celebration of Japan’s regional diversity, offering sake from every prefecture alongside elevated traditional dishes.
  

• Sefino – A Southern Mediterranean concept with sun-kissed flavors and contemporary presentation.

Additional lounges and bars will offer everything from crafted cocktails to delicate pastries, ensuring an exceptional dining experience at any hour.

A defining feature of JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo is the debut of the world’s first JW Mindfulness Floor — a dedicated space where well-being takes center stage. Guests will have access to:

• Spa by JW – A sanctuary of holistic treatments and therapies.
  

• Nine Mindful Rooms – Guest accommodations designed for deep rest, reflection, and restoration.
  

• Indoor Pool and Fitness Center – Complete with panoramic views and state-of-the-art equipment.
  

• Curated Wellness Programming – Including guided meditation, breathwork sessions, and movement classes designed to balance mind and body.

This focus on intentional living aligns with JW Marriott’s global commitment to creating spaces that nurture both the traveler’s body and spirit.

Just 20 minutes from Haneda Airport, the hotel’s address in Takanawa Gateway City situates guests in a new cultural and commercial hub built on the site of Japan’s first railway. The surrounding development blends shopping, dining, and art with cutting-edge innovation, placing guests within easy reach of both Tokyo’s historic districts and its contemporary creative scene.

Nightly rates at JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo begin at $1,030 including tax and service charge. With its seamless combination of elevated design, Michelin-starred culinary talent, and a pioneering approach to wellness, the property is poised to redefine luxury hospitality in Tokyo.
