Intro
Four Seasons has something of a proclivity for operating multiple properties in major cities: London, Los Angeles, New York, Dubai and even Cairo all have two Four Seasons hotels.
Tokyo is much the same, with the Marunouchi property having been in operation since October of 2002 and subsequently joined by the Otemachi property, just down the road, in September of 2021.
In simple terms, the locations are identical and what separates these two properties is that the Otemachi has much more of a focus on room hardware and on amenities such as f&b outlets, the pool and of course panoramic views in all directions.
Below is a brief summary of the key differences between the Four Seasons Tokyo properties:
| Four Seasons Otemachi | Four Seasons Marunouchi | |
|---|---|---|
| Room Count | 190 | 57 |
| Views | Panoramic high-rise views of Tokyo in all 4 directions | Low-rise city views or Tokyo Station train tracks |
| Swimming Pool | YES | NO |
| Bars | Virtu (World’s Top #11 in 2024) | The Bar and Champagne Lounge |
| Restaurants | Est*, Pigneto, The Lounge | Sézanne***, Maison Marunouchi |

Arrival and check-in at Four Seasons Otemachi
Despite the fact that the two Four Seasons Tokyo properties are roughly a ten minute walk from one another, we took a cab from Four Seasons Marunouchi to Four Seasons Otemachi, since we had plenty of luggage.
Four Seasons Otemachi’s entrance is considerably more nondescript than that of Marunouchi and you could easily miss it when walking past, if you didn’t know exactly where to look.

The hotel is located inside a mixed use office building with a direct pathway to a luxury shopping mall just next door.

There’s also a fantastic food court in the basement floor of the building, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch just after checking in.
Upon entering the motor lobby area, it was clear that this was a much larger and busier property than Four Seasons Marunouchi. The bell staff were all so busy loading and unloading other vehicles that we wheeled our own bags in (something which is almost unheard of in a Japanese luxury hotel).

From here we took the elevator up to the 39th floor, where the main lobby floor of the hotel is located. The moment the door opened we were greeted by staff at the bell desk and walked past a very impressive reflecting pool zen garden, set against the backdrop of a spectacular view of Tokyo.
To those of us who are fortunate enough to be familiar with his hotels, the design of this area is immediately and unmistakably the work of Jean Michel Gathy, the architect behind Four Seasons Bangkok, Amanoi and many others.
There’s something about walking into a JMG hotel that makes you feel instantly at ease…
FS Otemachi – sky lobby.
We walked past The Lounge on the way to the reception desk, a beautiful all-day dining space that gave a real buzz to the hotel throughout the majority of the day (I snapped the picture below first thing in the morning, which was the only time that I ever saw it empty!).
FS Otemachi – The Lounge.
Continuing on from here was one of many seating nooks, featuring the signature JMG oversized furniture and designed to spread guests throughout the entire sky lobby floor, rather than creating an overly busy area huddled around the reception desk.

Of course, no Four Seasons hotel would be complete without an ornate and elaborate floral display. During our visit it was sakura themed, in anticipation of the spring blossoms.
