Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills

Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills fills the top six floors of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower in Minato, roughly a mile from the Imperial Palace gardens to the north and Tokyo Tower to the south. Toranomon Station on the Ginza Line is about five minutes on foot.

With 164 rooms, eight of them suites, it feels more boutique than skyscraper. Interiors by Tony Chi and Shinichiro Ogata lean on washi paper and wood, and the hotel holds a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star rating and One Michelin Key. The real draw for a wedding is the freestanding chapel up on the 52nd-floor terrace.

The chapel is clad in copper, with solid wood seating, an aisle of lava stone and daylight falling from above. For couples who want a Japanese ceremony too, the bilingual planners can organise a Shinto ceremony at a shrine close to the hotel.

The reception moves to the Rooftop Studio, which takes up to 300 guests once its terrace is added, or the Tokyo Studio on the 51st floor, with a 5.5 metre ceiling and views two ways. Menus are built on seasonal ingredients. Ask the team about chapel numbers, legal registration and the evening finish time.

With 164 rooms on site, most wedding parties can sleep under one roof. Ask the team about a room block and suites for the two of you.

Between events, guests can swim in the 65-foot indoor pool at AO Spa and Club on the 37th floor, book the eight-seat omakase counter at The Sushi, or take a drink at the Rooftop Bar, around 250 metres up with views over Tokyo Bay. Haneda is about 40 minutes by car and Narita about 70 minutes by train. Ginza, Roppongi and Marunouchi are all close by.
