"Like the bulk of luxury brand hotels in Tokyo, the 164-room Andaz Tokyo commands a series of floors at the top of a shared skyscraper—except, unlike most skyscrapers, Toranomon Hills happens to be among the tallest. Check-in reflects this higher perspective as guests arrive on the 51st-floor Andaz Lounge. Instead of starting the process behind a counter, check-in happens in the lounge, offering a relaxed introduction that's more like a casual conversation than a stiff transaction." - Brandon Presser
