JW Marriott debuts in Tokyo with grand new hotel launch

JW Marriott, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today announces the highly anticipated opening of JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo. Marking the second JW Marriott property in Japan, this hotel is located in the heart of Takanawa Gateway City, the city’s newest urban destination billed as the city of the future. With an art and design narrative inspired by Zen philosophy and the natural beauty of Takanawa, the hotel pairs elegance with excellent connectivity and seamless access to the heart of Tokyo and beyond. Conveniently located above the new Takanawa Gateway Station, Tokyo Haneda Airport is about 20 minutes away. The property is within walking distance to Shinagawa Station, which is planned to serve as the terminus for the Chuo Shinkansen connecting Tokyo with other major cities in Japan including Nagoya (40 minutes) and Osaka (65 minutes).

“JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo represents a milestone opening in the brand’s continued global expansion – where a warm approach to luxury meets world-class hospitality. With the launch of this hotel, we will introduce the brand’s new Mindful Rooms & Suites concept in Asia, reaffirming our commitment to holistic well-being. This opening also  proudly extends the brand’s legacy in Japan, offering guests experiences that are both mindful and rooted in the brand’s heritage.” said Bruce Rohr, Vice President & Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott. “Inspired by the elevation and views of Gotenyama, the hotel invites guests to experience a new perspective – a journey upward through  spaces designed to inspire tranquility and foster meaningful moments of togetherness.”

A Timeless Sanctuary

Crafted by the internationally acclaimed design studio Yabu Pushelberg, the design narrative of JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo is envisioned as a timeless sanctuary of balance and mindfulness. At the entrance on the ground floor, there is an installation featuring Zen rocks and a mirrored Mount Fuji – an iconic symbol of Japan once visible from Takanawa – further reflects the spirit of harmony, well-being, and timelessness woven throughout the hotel.

On the 30th floor, the reception area greets guests with sweeping views inspired by the historical Tokyo Bay horizon and the scenic Gotenyama Hill. These vistas are complemented by traditional Kamakura-bori inspired artworks that capture dramatic cloudscapes in muted tones. Photographic art by Sho Makishima, employing soft colors and delicate light trails, depicts the ever-changing beauty of nature and serves as a poetic metaphor for the Takanawa skyline and Tokyo Bay.

At the heart of the Lobby Lounge is the Tree House; a luminous centerpiece where tree leaves are transformed into glass artworks. Created in collaboration with acclaimed Czech glassmaker Lasvit, this installation radiantly expresses the artistry of nature within the hotel’s serene environment.

The 200 stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites at JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo feature modern Japanese interiors crafted with serene tones and natural materials inspired by the earthy textures of a garden. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping Tokyo city views, creating spaces that inspire mindfulness, stillness, and serenity. Elegant bathrooms are thoughtfully curated with indulgent, sustainable amenities. The hotel will also debut the brand’s signature Mindful Rooms and Suites – thoughtfully designed for travelers seeking a more intentional and personalized stay. Each Mindful Room is a calming sanctuary for the senses, and these accommodations inspire rest, reflection, and well-being. As the first JW Marriott hotel in Asia to feature this innovative accommodation offering, the Mindful Rooms and Suites are set to launch in December 2025.

Exceptional Dining and Inspiring Meeting Spaces Designed to Elevate Every Experience

The restaurants and bars at JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo are intimate, experience-rich spaces, including a kappo counter with a view, a croissants bar, and a modern Mediterranean restaurant with immersive murals and narrative architecture. Set to redefine the city’s dining scene through mindful and enriching culinary experiences, at the helm is Culinary Director, Conrado Tromp, a globally acclaimed chef with over 25 years of international experience. Guided by the principles of innovation and authenticity, Chef Tromp weaves together the refined sensibilities of Japanese cuisine, the richness of the Mediterranean, and the vibrant dynamism of Tokyo, resulting in a truly unique culinary journey.
