Overview
On Akasaka's eastern edge, ANA InterContinental Tokyo occupies a calmer, more corporate setting than the district's central dining streets. This large full-service hotel at Ark Hills has 801 rooms and suites, thirteen dining venues, and two subway approaches about a minute away on foot.
The most straightforward route is Exit 13 at Tameike-sanno Station, while Roppongi-itchome Exit 3 is equally close for the Namboku Line. From this side of Tokyo-Akasaka, Roppongi and Toranomon remain nearby, with Ginza and Namboku Line services connecting other parts of central Tokyo.
Rooms
Classic rooms measure 28 square meters, while Premium rooms measure 32 square meters. Renovated categories use Japanese-inspired colors and origami details, with rain showers, Japanese-style bathtubs, and window seats. Depending on the category and orientation, views may face Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace Gardens, or Roppongi.
Suites begin at 52 square meters, and the two-bedroom Miyabi Suite reaches 157 square meters. Club rooms and suites include access to the 35th-floor lounge, where breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails provide a quieter alternative to the busy public spaces below.
Facilities
The 187-square-meter gym on the fourth floor is open around the clock. It is reserved for hotel guests and members aged 16 or over. A spa and extensive meeting spaces add more options than you'll find at a smaller city hotel.
The outdoor pool is a genuine summer extra. It measures 20 by 13 meters and is free for overnight guests during its seasonal opening period, but it isn't available year-round.
Dining
Dining is a major part of the stay. Thirteen restaurants, bars, and lounges provide an unusually broad choice for a city hotel, ranging from Japanese cooking at Unkai and Teppanyaki Akasaka to the more casual Cascade Cafe.
Guests can have breakfast, hold a meeting, plan dinner, or stop for a late drink without leaving the building. In-room dining is also available 24 hours, which is helpful after a late arrival or a full day elsewhere in the city.
Location and transport
Tameike-sanno serves the Ginza and Namboku lines. Exit 13 is about one minute away, while Exit 14 is about three minutes away and has elevator and escalator access. From the Ginza Line ticket gates, the internal walk to either exit takes about five minutes.
Roppongi-itchome offers a second approach on the Namboku Line, with Exit 3 about one minute away. Kamiyacho and central Akasaka are farther on foot. JR trains and Shinkansen services require a subway connection or taxi rather than departing beside the hotel.
Airport access
Scheduled airport limousine buses run between Narita Airport and the hotel's first-floor stop, with a published journey of about 110 to 120 minutes. Traffic can affect that timing, so check the current timetable before relying on the service.
The equivalent Haneda Airport limousine bus is currently suspended. Arrivals from Haneda therefore require rail with a transfer, a taxi, or a prearranged car.
Why stay here
Nearby subway entrances simplify daily trips, while the room sizes, 24-hour gym, seasonal pool, and extensive dining give the hotel enough depth for time spent on site. The location is especially convenient when plans focus on eastern Akasaka, Toranomon, or Roppongi rather than a major JR hub.
Farther west, Akasaka's backstreets bring restaurants, wine bars, jazz clubs, and Akasaka Sacas into the picture. Ark Hills is calmer and more corporate than those central dining streets, so expect a walk or short ride when that part of Akasaka is the evening priority.
Good to know
Exit 13 is the shortest approach from Tameike-sanno, but Exit 14 is more useful when an elevator or escalator matters. The outdoor pool is seasonal, and airport bus schedules can change. Confirm both before booking around either feature.
