ANA InterContinental Tokyo opens 600sqm Lounge

The ANA InterContinental Tokyo has completed a multi-million dollar renovation of its Club InterContinental Lounge.

Offering breathtaking views of Tokyo’s major landmarks and Mount Fuji from high above the bustling metropolis below. The new Club InterContinental Lounge opened today on the 35th floor of the iconic city centre hotel.

The 600-square-metre Club InterContinental lounge claims to be Japan’s largest, and is more than three times the size of the previous lounge. This new refurbished lounge will serve as an exclusive facility for guests staying on the Club InterContinental floors. The lounge looks over Tokyo’s city centre, the Imperial Palace, the National Diet building and Roppongi Hills.

The Club InterContinental lounge is demarcated into six distinct areas: a welcome reception, library, relaxation space, dining room, bar and meeting facility. Because the lounge consists of six coexisting zones, each serving different purposes, faintly translucent partitions are used to delineate the areas. This idea derives from Japan’s traditional technique of expressing a subtle “light” - typically realised through the use of sudare (bamboo blinds) and andon (paper lanterns). The lounge as a whole is designed to serve as a living space with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The lounge also has shower suites for early arriving and late departing guests.

The Club InterContinental lounge also offers a dedicated InterContinental Concierge desk, manned by a team who are eager to share their local knowledge and recommend unique local and authentic activities.

ANA InterContinental Tokyo is located in the Tokyo’s vibrant business and commercial districts and only a short distance from some of the most renowned spots such as Ginza, Roppongi and Shibuya. It boasts of 843 comfortable and contemporary rooms including 43 suites, over 20 meeting venues for up to 2,000 delegates in cocktail style and endless dining choices in 11 restaurants and bars.

To celebrate opening of the new world class club lounge and rooms, ANA InterContinental Tokyo is offering free upgrades to Club InterContinental. This limited opportunity will be offered to the first 50 new reservations made each day between 10 February and 31 March 2009. Rates start from 26,000+ Yen and are based on the Best Flexible Rate and varies depending on the day.
