For advisors who’ve long relied on Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi as a reliable answer for clients who want Tokyo without the overwhelming scale of a large luxury property, the hotel has announced its official reopening next week, on April 29.
The 57-room Marunouchi outpost, set inside a tower steps from Tokyo Station and walkable to the Imperial Palace and the Ginza, has always punched above its size. Residential in feel and intensely staffed, it’s easy to navigate for first-time Japan visitors and repeat travelers alike. The renovation, led by Hong Kong-based interior architect André Fu, sharpens the proposition.

Fu, well-known for his work at The Upper House in Hong Kong, brings what he calls a “contemporary manor” sensibility to the redesign. That means an arrival lobby reconceived as a Japanese tea lounge, complete with washi wall panels, subdued furnishings, a view onto a rock garden, and guest rooms dressed in warm wood tones and mid-century silhouettes, with cast bronze lighting fixtures and sakura marquetry details. The overall effect feels calm and considered rather than dramatic.
The one piece of the hotel that never closed was Sézanne, the three-Michelin-starred French restaurant, one of the most decorated tables in Asia. The restaurant is currently ranked No. 16 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 and No. 7 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025. (For clients who want a reservation there, the hotel stay remains the most reliable way to secure a table.)
Spring 2026 arrivals will be among the first to experience the redesigned rooms, which makes this an ideal moment to revisit the property for clients who stayed before the renovation—and a compelling entry point for those who haven’t.
