While in Tokyo, I visited three Intercontinental properties, back to back. The second of the three was the ANA Intercontinental in the center of Tokyo. The property is located only a few hundred meters from Roppongi-itchōme station. I was thoroughly impressed by how many businesses they have on-site. There are so many restaurants! When you enter, you really feel like you’re walking into a luxury shopping mall.

After checking in, I went up to see the room and it’s amenities. The room was on the smaller side, but understandable, especially in Japan. It had the business Intercontinental branded feel to it. Everything was very high-quality and the bedding was superb. They have a bathroom that has a window to see out to the rest of the room as well as a beautiful view to the outside.
From my window, I was able to capture some really breathtaking night time city views!
What I really loved about this hotel, was the ginormous club lounge. I’ve been to many hotels, with many club lounges and I must say I think this one is the largest of them all! It’s practically a whole floor of lounge space. The lounge offers breakfast, afternoon tea with a buffet as well as evening drinks and canapes.
I only visited the hotel for the one night so I ended up eating breakfast in the lounge also. They have a great selection of both Japanese and international food. There was a huge selection and this made sense because the lounge is so large!
The hotel boasts a very grand fitness center as well as a large outdoor pool on the rooftop. All of the equipment in the gym is very new and presented well. The gym was busy when I was there and I’m attributing it to the fact that the hotel was running a super high occupancy.
During my stay, I was super thrilled to enjoy a dinner at the Pierre Gagnaire restaurant which happens to have two Michelin stars. You’ll definitely have to read about it in a separate article. Go go go!
Reflecting back, I really enjoyed my time at the ANA Intercontinental hotel in Tokyo. The hotel has nice facilities and an the enormous club lounge which is sure to impress even the most seasoned travelers. The food was good for all meals as well as the service. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Japan, I recommend you to take a look at the ANA Intercontinental in Tokyo’s city center!
