Depending on the person, the city-view at the Spa Harmony Suite is either distracting from the soothing spa treatment, or a way to feel literally above everyone else in the city.
Lounging in the vitality pool that overlooks Tokyo from the 36th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Spa is magnificent, of course, but what's even better is realizing this: that there is nowhere else, at this moment in time, to be right now that could be better.
The Time Ritual treatment is the best option, where the spa creates a customized personal menu for you after consultation with the therapist.
Any trip to the Mandarin Oriental Spa should include enough time (on both sides of the appointment) to luxuriate in the dry sauna, jet baths and crystal steam room. This is not an experience to rush.
After leaving the spa, might as well saunter over to the Mandarin Oriental hotel bar, order a cocktail and gaze out at Mt Fuji.
