 A Deep Dive into the Luxury of The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo

Experience the Height of Luxury Holidays to Tokyo


Just stepping into The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo introduces you to a world of serene opulence perched above the dynamic cityscape of Roppongi. As a guest of Awake & Wander Luxury Travel, your stay becomes more than just a five-star experience—it becomes a masterfully curated immersion into Tokyo's refined side. Our luxury travel experts ensure your journey is elevated with personalised touches, exclusive benefits, and unmatched access to Japan’s finest. Whether this is your first visit or a return to indulgence, allow us to show you how The Ritz-Carlton can redefine your expectations of luxury holidays to Tokyo.


Unlocking Luxury: How to Book Smarter


When planning luxury holidays to Tokyo, especially at a flagship property like The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, strategic booking is key. Clients booking through Awake & Wander gain access to added-value benefits such as early check-in, late checkout, complimentary breakfast, and room upgrades (subject to availability), all while enjoying the assurance of our Protected Trust Services membership.


We work with elite travel programs and direct partnerships to ensure you receive the best possible combination of rate, reward points accumulation, and exclusive extras—without any of the hassle. Whether you're using loyalty points or cash, our advisors guide you through every step so you can unlock a seamless luxury experience tailored to your lifestyle.


Enhancing Value with Travel Loyalty Partnerships


While many of our clients enjoy elite status perks through premium travel cards or loyalty programs such as Marriott Bonvoy, Awake & Wander goes a step further. We manage and optimise your benefits for you—securing upgrades, dining credits, and VIP treatment so you don’t need to worry about the fine print.


For example, booking through our preferred partner channels can yield perks often reserved for high-tier loyalty members: think late checkouts, welcome amenities, and enhanced room categories. Even if you're not a Bonvoy Elite member, we'll work to deliver an elite experience.


Value Breakdown: Cost vs Redemption


A standard room at The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo typically commands a nightly rate in the region of ¥139,000(approximately £720). When we assist clients with points-based bookings—whether through Marriott Bonvoy or via credit card transfers—we ensure you're getting optimal value, typically over 1.1p per point.


If you hold transferable points or a free night award, our concierge team can help you redeem strategically to achieve maximum luxury with minimal out-of-pocket expense. We also advise on when it's better to book using cash rates due to seasonal value swings.
