Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, Tokyo

The chic, contemporary design of the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, from its impressive two-storey atrium lobby to its formal Japanese garden, reflects a seamless blend of East meets West. Clean modern lines and cutting edge technology combine effortlessly with traditional Japanese values of tranquillity and serenity, an inner sanctum entirely removed from the outer turmoil of Tokyo city. Right outside is the vibrant trend-setting Shibuya district, with its fashionable boutiques, world-class department stores, restaurants, and nightclubs. The excellent Shibuya Station is a short stroll and from there guests can travel by Tokyos renowned underground to virtually anywhere in the city. Guests have the best of both business and leisure facilities. For business travelers there are specially designed executive rooms, a dedicated business center, and a selection of conference, banquet, and meeting rooms. The superb fitness center provides everything needed for a stimulating workout. There is also a Jacuzzi, a steam room, and an indoor swimming pool. Other facilities include a beauty salon and day spa, kids club, five unique restaurants, a jazz club, a cocktail bar overlooking the city, and even a traditional Japanese Noh Theatre. All 414 rooms and suites are light, spacious, and have breathtaking views across Tokyo. This is a particular benefit in Tokyo, where space is a premium and many hotel rooms are smaller than average. The rooms have been thoughtfully designed to create a comfortable and harmonious space for work and relaxation. The state of the art bathrooms are particularly impressive, with elegant marble baths, separate showers, and a distinctly Japanese aesthetic.
