The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at PIGNETO

Full breakfast for two per bedroom at PIGNETO, the Italian restaurant on the 39th floor, or through in-room dining. PIGNETO serves breakfast to hotel guests only, from 7:00 to 10:15 am, with a buffet of Japanese and Western dishes and tables on the terrace in good weather. Four Seasons sells the same breakfast as its Bed and Breakfast rate, so a Preferred Partner booking gets it at the price of the room alone.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay, to use at the restaurants, VIRTÙ or The Spa. The credit is USD 100, or USD 200 in suites. The credit covers roughly one seasonal afternoon tea for two at THE LOUNGE, where a set starts at about $60 a person.

03

Upgrade priority

A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. An upgrade here buys a better view: from a Superior City View room to a Skyline View room, or from a Deluxe City View room to a Deluxe Imperial Garden View room over the palace grounds.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. Check-in at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi is at 3:00 pm and checkout at noon. Long-haul flights into Haneda and Narita land early in the morning, so we ask the hotel to hold a room from arrival, and the hotel stores bags and opens the fitness centre for a shower if the room is not ready.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We send the hotel your view preference, palace or skyline, and any celebration before you arrive.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

Preferred Partner benefits apply on top of the hotel's own offers, such as Stay Longer, which gives a complimentary third night, and Experience More, which adds a spending credit. We check what is available for your dates when we quote.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi

Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi has 190 rooms and suites, 170 guest rooms and 20 suites, on the top six floors of the 39-storey Otemachi One Tower. Every room has floor-to-ceiling windows. The view decides the category: the Imperial Palace Gardens and, on clear days, Mount Fuji on one side, and the skyline and Tokyo Skytree on the other.

Best value

Superior Room, City View and Skyline View

The Superior Room is 49 sq m (527 sq ft) with a king or two double beds. The bathroom has a tub, a separate shower room and a double vanity. The Skyline View room looks over the towers of central Tokyo and is the better of the two.

The room to book

Deluxe Room, Imperial Garden View

The Deluxe Room is 50 to 54 sq m (538 to 581 sq ft). The Imperial Garden View version looks straight over the moats and gardens of the Imperial Palace and has a daybed by the window. The Deluxe City View room faces Tokyo Skytree instead and costs less.

Corner views

Premier Room

The Premier Room is a 61 sq m (656 sq ft) corner room with a king bed, a sitting area and a working desk. Windows on two sides take in more of the city than any standard room. It connects to a twin Superior Room for families.

Separate living space

Executive and Premier Suites

The Executive Suite is 67 sq m (721 sq ft) and the Premier Suite 81 sq m (872 sq ft), each with a separate living room, a king bedroom and a guest powder room. The Executive Suite looks over the Imperial Palace Gardens. The Premier Suite faces the gardens or the skyline.

Palace and skyline together

Panoramic Suite

The Panoramic Suite is a 100 sq m (1,076 sq ft) corner suite with the Imperial Palace Gardens on one side and the city on the other. The hotel can configure it as a two-bedroom suite on request.

Families and groups

Two-Bedroom Otemachi Suite and Imperial Suite

The Two-Bedroom Otemachi Suite is 162 sq m (1,743 sq ft) with a king room, a room with two doubles and two full bathrooms. The Imperial Suite, on the 38th floor, is 283 sq m (3,046 sq ft), seats eight for dinner and has a bathroom looking over the palace. It can be configured with three bedrooms.

Every room sleeps three, including up to two children, with one rollaway or one cot. Children under 18 stay free when they share the existing beds, and a third adult pays an extra-bed charge. Connecting rooms are available in the Superior, Premier, Panoramic Suite and Imperial Suite categories. Barrier-free and accessible rooms are available on request.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi

01

Otemachi or Marunouchi: two different hotels

Four Seasons has two hotels in central Tokyo, and travellers often confuse them. Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi is the larger one, with 190 rooms on the top floors of a tower beside the Imperial Palace, a 20-metre indoor pool, est and PIGNETO. Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi is a 57-room boutique hotel steps from Tokyo Station, built around the restaurant SÉZANNE, with no pool. Choose Otemachi for views, a pool and a full resort-style city hotel. Choose Marunouchi for intimacy and the shortest walk to the Shinkansen.

02

Budget for the service charge and taxes

Hotels in Japan add charges on top of the room rate. Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi adds a 15 percent service charge, then Japan's 10 percent consumption tax applies to the rate and the service charge. Tokyo's accommodation tax is currently about $1.50 per person per night at this price level. From 1 April 2027, Tokyo replaces it with a tax of 3 percent of the accommodation fee per person per night, including the service charge, and the hotel collects the difference on existing bookings. We give you the full total with your quote.

03

Ask for a palace-side room for Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji appears beyond the Imperial Palace Gardens on clear days, most often on cold, dry mornings from November to February. Book an Imperial Garden View room, an Executive Suite or a Panoramic Suite, and we will ask for the highest floor available.

04

Book est and VIRTÙ before you fly

est holds one Michelin star in the MICHELIN Guide Tokyo 2026, has around 68 seats and is closed on Wednesdays, so reserve weeks ahead. VIRTÙ was named in The World's 50 Best Bars 2026, for the third year running, and fills up after dinner. Give us your dates and we will book both.

05

Use the subway door downstairs

Exit C4 of Otemachi Station, served by the Chiyoda, Marunouchi, Hanzomon, Tozai and Toei Mita lines, opens into Otemachi One. Take the escalator to the first floor, turn right at Masakado's Tomb and the hotel entrance is at the end of the corridor. Reception is on the 39th floor.

06

Use the hotel car for short hops

Hotel cars take guests one way to anywhere within three kilometres of the hotel, on request and subject to availability, which covers Ginza and Nihonbashi. The hotel takes no advance reservations for the car and offers no pick-ups, so take a taxi back.

07

Travelling with children

Children under 18 stay free in their parents' room, and the hotel supplies a cot or a rollaway. Connecting rooms make the Superior and Premier categories work for families. est welcomes guests aged 10 and over only, so book PIGNETO, with its pizzas and family-style dishes, for dinners with younger children.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi

Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi has two restaurants, a bar and a lounge, all on the 39th floor, plus in-room dining around the clock. The restaurants draw on contrasts: French technique with Japanese produce at est, and Sicilian and Tuscan cooking at PIGNETO.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner

PIGNETO

PIGNETO is the Italian restaurant, with open show kitchens, 105 seats inside and a 40-seat open-air terrace facing the Imperial Palace Gardens. Breakfast is served from 7:00 to 10:15 am to hotel guests only, and this is where the Preferred Partner breakfast is taken. Dinner, from 5:30 to 10:00 pm, runs from Neapolitan pizza to oven-baked meats and seafood.

Michelin-starred French

est

est is led by Chef Guillaume Bracaval, with Pastry Chef Michele Abbatemarco, Gault & Millau's Best Pastry Chef 2024. The kitchen uses 95 percent Japanese ingredients and the dining room looks over the palace gardens. est is open for lunch and dinner from Thursday to Tuesday, and its caviar menu costs about $280 for nine courses.

Cocktail bar

VIRTÙ

VIRTÙ is a 60-seat Art Deco bar where old Paris meets modern Tokyo, built around aged French and Japanese spirits. The bar makes its own vermouth from Yamanashi wines. VIRTÙ was ranked number 45 in The World's 50 Best Bars 2025 and named in the 2026 list again.

Afternoon tea and light meals

THE LOUNGE

THE LOUNGE overlooks the Imperial Palace and serves light meals and drinks from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm. Its seasonal afternoon tea starts at about $60, and an evening version after 6:30 pm watches the skyline light up. Live music plays in the evening, and in-house guests pay no cover charge.

On Property

Spa, pool and bar at Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi

The wellness floor at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi sits high above the financial district, with city views from the pool and the gym. Hotel guests use the pool, the ofuro baths and the fitness centre at no charge.

01

Indoor pool

The 20-metre indoor heated pool has floor-to-ceiling windows, a vitality pool with hydromassage and mist chairs between swims. It is open from 6:30 am to 9:30 pm, and light meals and soft drinks are served at the poolside. Visitors pay about $100 for two hours, so the pool is rarely crowded.

02

The Spa

The Spa has five treatment rooms, including a couples' room, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy of DENNISTON. Treatments are Japanese-influenced, such as the autumn Rose and Yuzu Poultice Ritual, from about $340 for 75 minutes. The Spa is open from 10:00 am to 8:30 pm on weekdays and to 9:30 pm from Friday to Sunday.

03

Ofuro and steam rooms

The men's and women's changing rooms each have an ofuro, a Japanese bath, and a steam room. The baths are open from 6:30 am to 9:30 pm and are the place to recover after a long-haul flight.

04

Fitness centre

The 24-hour gym looks over the Imperial Palace Gardens and the skyline. In-house guests can join complimentary yoga and Pilates classes led by the hotel's trainers, and personal training is available.

05

Awards

Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi received three Michelin Keys in 2024 and again in 2025, one of seven hotels in Japan with the top rating. Readers of Condé Nast Traveler ranked it the number one hotel in Japan in the 2025 Readers' Choice Awards.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi

Tokyo is a year-round city, and the hotel's palace views change with each season. The decision is about cherry blossom, autumn leaves, summer heat and price.

Late March and early April
Cherry blossom season. The moats around the Imperial Palace and Chidorigafuchi are among Tokyo's best-known blossom spots, a walk from the hotel. These are the most expensive and fastest-selling weeks of the year, so book months ahead.
May and June
May is warm and settled after Golden Week, the holidays at the turn of the month. The rainy season usually runs from early June to mid-July, which brings lower rates and a better chance of an upgrade.
July to September
Tokyo summers are hot and humid. The indoor pool and PIGNETO's terrace in the evening are at their most useful, and the hotel runs a summer programme of cocktails and desserts.
October to February
Autumn brings clear skies and, from late November, red and gold leaves in the palace gardens. Winter days are cold and dry, which gives the best chance of seeing Mount Fuji from palace-side rooms. Christmas and New Year book up early.
