The Tokyo Edition

ginza

 

 

The Mood - Ginza is one of the most densely built strips in downtown Tokyo and here the views are more alleyways than aerial. Being in such close range to the next building do however present some unexpected and interesting moments, this being Tokyo where ordinary is an intriguing concept. The vibrancy of The Edition brand effuses from a street away with an exterior that stands out even within one of Tokyo’s most fashionable neighbourhoods, One naturally expects no less from Ian Schrager, co-founder of the legendary Studio 54 and creator of the Edition brand. Kengo Kuma is responsible for its modish, minimalistic lobby which sets the tone for restraint amidst unbridled pleasures. 

 

The Gourmet Index - The property boasts of 1 restaurant and 3 watering holes, clearly a Schrager mandated Edition directive. Sophie at Edition is a modern brasserie with a pretty retro vibe dishing out fabulous salmon lox and bagel at breakfast and steak frites and tarte flambee at dinner. Punch Room serves cocktails with a generous dose of sophistication that would greatly appeal to jet setting barflies.

 

The Service - For a Japanese hotel, service here is an international operation. The vibes are smart and friendly, but also laced with a potent hit of Japanese efficacy when required. Formality has been largely supplanted by congeniality which is a refreshing shift from the city’s hospitality norms.
