JW Marriott debuts in Tokyo with the unveiling of JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo – the brand’s newest hotel inviting guests to a tranquil retreat in the skies above Takanawa Gateway City, Tokyo’s visionary ‘City of the Future’…
With an art and design narrative inspired by Zen philosophy and the natural beauty of Takanawa, the JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo pairs elegance with excellent connectivity and seamless access to the heart of Tokyo and beyond.
“JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo represents a milestone opening in the brand’s continued global expansion – where a warm approach to luxury meets world-class hospitality. With the launch of this hotel, we will introduce the brand’s new Mindful Rooms & Suites concept in Asia, reaffirming our commitment to holistic well-being. This opening also proudly extends the brand’s legacy in Japan, offering guests experiences that are both mindful and rooted in the brand’s heritage.” said Bruce Rohr, Vice President & Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott. “Inspired by the elevation and views of Gotenyama, the hotel invites guests to experience a new perspective – a journey upward through spaces designed to inspire tranquillity and foster meaningful moments of togetherness.”
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 that capture dramatic cloudscapes in muted tones. Photographic art by Sho Makishima, employing soft colours and delicate light trails, depicts the ever-changing beauty of nature and serves as a poetic metaphor for the Takanawa skyline and Tokyo Bay.

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.
The 200 stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites at JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo 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.

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.
