ANA InterContinental Tokyo is a 37-storey, 801-room hotel in Ark Hills, beside Suntory Hall. The offices of Akasaka rise behind it, with Roppongi and Toranomon extending in different directions. Forty years after the hotel opened in 1986, its long-established city-hotel structure has been updated through the renovation of 759 rooms and the expansion of its club lounge.
The enlarged Club InterContinental occupies both the 35th and 36th floors. Breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails are served high above Akasaka. The guestrooms introduce designs based on origami and kintsugi, while 13 restaurants and bars extend through the building.

One of Tokyo’s Largest Club Lounges, Across Two Floors
The hotel describes Club InterContinental as one of the largest club lounges in Tokyo. It extends across the 35th and 36th floors and serves guests staying in 193 Club rooms and suites.
Akasaka spreads beyond the windows at breakfast. Afternoon tea follows later in the day, then cocktails and canapés as lights appear in the surrounding office towers. Guests returning between excursions can pause in the lounge before going back to their rooms.
The lounge opens from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and also includes shower facilities, meeting rooms and concierge service. Children under 12 are restricted during the evening cocktail period, so its hours matter when arranging a family stay.

Origami and Kintsugi Inside a Forty-Year-Old Building
A 15-month renovation that began in October 2023 updated 759 of the hotel’s then 844 rooms. The work was completed in December 2024. New suites were created by joining some neighbouring rooms, bringing the present room count to 801.
Lines based on origami folds appear across carpets, headboards and lighting in the renovated rooms. The base palette changes from cool tones on floors 7 to 26 to warmer tones from the 27th floor upwards. In some Club-access rooms, kintsugi—the Japanese practice of repairing broken ceramics with gold—is used as a design motif.
The collection includes 28-square-metre Classic rooms, 32-square-metre Premium rooms and 52-square-metre Family Suites. Other suites carry the Japanese names Mizu, Sora, Tsuki, Kaze, Tori, Hana and Miyabi. The 52-square-metre Mizu Suite was created by combining a former single room with its neighbour. Its broad layout allows daylight from the horizontal window to reach both the sleeping and living areas.
Premium rooms have a rain shower and deep bathtub. The Club categories include both rooms with bathtubs and shower-only rooms, so the bathroom arrangement varies with the exact room name.

From Unkai’s Garden to the 37th Floor
At Unkai on the third floor, a Japanese garden of stone, moss, trees and water lies beyond the shoji screens. The table faces the garden rather than the skyline. Chinese restaurant Karin, The Steakhouse, Sushi Kenzan and the Main Bar Da Vinci are located on the same floor.
On the 37th floor, the chef’s counter at Teppanyaki Akasaka has the upper reaches of Tokyo beyond it. MIXX Bar & Lounge continues that view into the evening. On the second floor, the Atrium Lounge faces a 14-metre-high open space, while Cascade Cafe serves breakfast.
The outlook changes with each level: Unkai beside its garden, the lounge beneath the atrium and dining above the city on the 37th floor. In-room dining is available 24 hours a day.
Pierre Gagnaire Tokyo, formerly on the 37th floor, closed on 25 January 2025. This article therefore does not carry its former awards forward as part of the hotel’s current dining collection.
Beside Suntory Hall in Ark Hills
The hotel stands at 1-12-33 Akasaka, Minato-ku. It is about a one-minute walk from Exit 13 of Tameike-sanno Station on the Ginza and Namboku lines, and from Exit 3 of Roppongi-itchome Station on the Namboku Line.
Inside Tameike-sanno Station, the passage from the ticket gates to Exit 13 takes about five minutes. The distance above ground is short, but the station passage remains part of the journey.
Suntory Hall is in the same Ark Hills complex. Guests can return to the lounge or their room without a long journey after a concert. The hotel gives an approximate taxi time of 15 minutes from Tokyo Station.
The building also contains 22 banquet rooms, including the Prominence ballroom with capacity for 2,000 people. They are used for international conferences, exhibitions and seminars as well as social events.
Akasaka’s Outdoor Pool in Summer
The fourth-floor Garden Pool is an outdoor pool surrounded by city buildings. In 2026, the 20-by-13-metre main pool and circular children’s pool are open from 1 June to 30 September, with complimentary access for hotel guests. At night, the illuminated water appears below the surrounding offices.
The 187-square-metre Ka-tsu Health & Fitness Center is on the same floor and is available to hotel guests 24 hours a day. THANN Sanctuary Akasaka, on the sixth floor, offers treatments by reservation. The pool is not a year-round facility.
Moving Between the Garden and the Upper Floors
The two-level club lounge, Unkai’s garden, dining on the 37th floor and guestrooms marked by origami lines occupy different levels of the 801-room building.
Within the structure that has stood since 1986, 759 guestrooms and the club lounge have been renewed. Breakfast or cocktails can be taken on the 35th and 36th floors, Unkai serves meals beside its garden on the third floor, and Suntory Hall is a short walk away. Returning to the room brings the lights of Akasaka back into view.
