Fairmont Tokyo

Fairmont Tokyo, which opened in 2024, occupies a position within the Azabudai Hills development — one of the most significant urban construction projects in Tokyo's recent history, integrating the Mori JP Tower (among the tallest buildings in Japan), residential towers, cultural venues, and the hotel and wellness complex that also houses Janu Tokyo. The project's ambition is to create a vertical urban village in Minato-ku, and Fairmont's presence provides the large-scale hospitality anchor that such a development typically requires.

The Fairmont brand brings a particular institutional character to luxury hotel operations: properties that can function at scale, that have the event and meeting infrastructure to host significant gatherings, and that provide a consistently well-organized international standard. In Japan, where the brand previously had no presence, Tokyo represents a significant market entry, and the Azabudai Hills location — prestigious, new, and positioned between Roppongi and Azabu — reflects the ambition of that entry.

The hotel's dining and wellness facilities are scaled for a property of its size, with multiple restaurants, a spa and pool, and fitness amenities that serve both hotel guests and, in the Fairmont tradition, the surrounding community of Azabudai Hills residents and workers. The event infrastructure supports the kinds of corporate and social gatherings that the district's business and diplomatic character will naturally generate.

For travelers whose relationship with Fairmont properties is established across the brand's global portfolio — from the Fairmont Château Frontenac in Québec to properties in the Middle East and Asia — the Tokyo opening provides a familiar standard in an unfamiliar city: a reliable anchor point in a place that rewards, but can also overwhelm, first-time visitors.
