Andaz Tokyo, Toranomon Hills Unveils Spa

Andaz, meaning “personal style” in Hindi, represents a unique philosophy of service in a sophisticated, yet unscripted, style. Since its 2007 debut in London, the Andaz brand has offered an inspiring, creative and barrier-free environment that is deeply rooted in each destination’s history and culture.

Reflecting the Andaz brand philosophy, the AO Spa is rooted in personalized care from professional therapists, locally sourced ingredients and locally inspired treatments, comfortable treatment rooms, and the serene atmosphere of the relaxation spaces. The spa creates an open, engaging environment and experience not only for hotel guests and members, but also for locals.

Nature and Water

Overlooking the spectacular Imperial Palace grounds and featuring extensive bath and water experiences, AO Spa is designed with fluidity in mind, restoring flow and optimizing personal wellness amidst the chaos of everyday life. Designed by Shinichiro Ogata, a worldly renowned Japanese designer, the 1,350-square metre (14,530-square feet) spa is harmonized with natural elements, water, light and shadow. Softly lit by paper lanterns, guests are immersed in a completely relaxed atmosphere, and the savoury original drinks, such as fresh tea and infused mocktails, will be a great addition to spend unleashed time at the spa.

Tailor Made Experiences

AO Spa will offer a tailor-made treatment approach called JIYUJIZAI, a Japenese term meaning “your creation,” which is custom blended for each guest. Through a combination of seasonal elements and high technology, JIYUJIZAI addresses the individual needs of each guest to his or her exact preferences, delivering balance to the body and mind. Therapists will connect with each guest through a welcoming ritual using freshly muddled herbs and will create a personal “recipe” based on each guests’ preferences -- favorite seasons, music style and treatment goals.

Reflecting the indigenous botanicals of Mt. Fuji and surrounding areas, AO Spa will debut a signature line of products, which features locally sourced and natural ingredients. The line will offer a custom blend for each season, and a portion of sales will be donated to the preservation of indigenous plants and botanicals of Mt. Fuji.

Exclusive Treatments

AO Spa will offer highly effective, results driven facial treatments, with exclusive international product lines and services. Featuring sophisticated, high performance anti-aging skincare from Barcelona, AO Spa will offer guests Natura Bissé facials, which are based on the highest concentrations of exceptional ingredients and new textures. AO Spa will be among the first spas in Japan to introduce three exclusive Natura Bissé treatments. THÉMAÉ, the Japanese name for the tea preparation ceremony, provides AO Spa guests with the best in relaxation and experience through an exclusive range of products and beauty treatments steeped in a unique blend of four antioxidant rich teas.

Personal Change Experience

Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills will be among the first spas to introduce the full range of the latest fitness equipment from TechnoGym--the Artis line, which offers a unique fitness training experience focused on connectivity, sustainability and seamless design. Extending the boundaries beyond the fitness centre doors, TechnoGym Artis allows guests to directly connect with the AO Spa Fitness Trainers and track their progress anytime, anywhere in the world.
