travel42 Hotel Review: ANA InterContinental Tokyo

ANA InterContinental Tokyo travel42 Professional Hotel Review

Location and History

Fronting the expressway along Roppongi Dori and connecting to the Ark Hills Complex, this hotel is 1,500 meters southwest of the Imperial Palace moat. Convenience to nearby shopping, dining, the U.S. Embassy and the subway system is a plus.

Built in 1986, it serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the more traditional nearby Okura. The 37-story sawtooth triangular building seems to have taken its architectural cues from the slightly older Akasaka Prince.
