Hotel Information: Elevators take guests from the ground floor of the triangular-shaped Shidome Media Tower to the 25th-floor 10-story atrium lobby/lounge area, which is topped by a glazed glass ceiling. Floor-to-ceiling windows behind reception offer views of Tokyo Tower and even Mount Fuji, on a clear day. Business and international travelers mingle and work in the lobby area’s semi-private conversation clusters of brown and white leather chairs separated by potted trees and criss-crossing walkways of wood

Amenity highlights: Not a typical lobby lounge, the atrium lobby area doubles as workspace for guests with their own laptops, and a venue for live music, featured Tuesday to Saturday evenings. Live jazz is also hosted Tuesday–Saturday in the hotel’s lobby lounge. Further nods to Western Europe can be found in the handmade French artwork hung throughout, and the Constance Spry Flower School and Shop, the only one outside the UK.

Insider tip: The surrounding Shidome Media City, connected to the hotel via several overhead pedestrian bridges, houses more than 100 dining options, upscale gift/clothing stores, and a grocery store, in addition to the Nippon TV headquarters.
