5 Urban Hotels That Will Feed Your Curiosity

You deserve more from your vacation than a sunburn and some cheap souvenirs. Next time you travel, seek out a hotel that encourages you to get out and explore. You’ll come back newly inspired — and that’s something you can’t buy at a gift shop.

Aman Tokyo is Aman’s first urban concept hotel, and it performs the magic trick of transporting you to a forested, peaceful oasis in the heart of Tokyo’s Otemachi business district. Guest rooms draw inspiration from Japanese residences, with large deep-soak bathtubs and interiors featuring washi paper, wood, and stone. Like many Aman properties, the spa and swimming pool are show-stoppers, but the skyline views will beckon you to get out and experience Tokyo. You’re an easy walk from Otemachi Forest and the Imperial Palace Gardens, a short ride from Ginza, and minutes from Tokyo Station, making it easy to follow your curiosity wherever it leads.
