The Bar/Lounge at The Peninsula Tokyo

"This very swanky new addrtion to Tokyo's increasingly crowded luxury hotel scene offers an unbeatable location, with views right across to the emperor's pad, plus some of the city's most spacious rooms, an opulent spa and rooftop restaurant and bar, among other facilities"

"The hotel has a handful of restaurants, like the 24th-floor Peter Hei Fung Terrace, a Suzhou garden-style Cantonese eatery, but we’re partial to Peter: The Bar, a trendy, liquor-laden playground with scarlet carpeting, golden leather chairs, and cherry blossom trees made from glass and strung with rainbow-reflective scraps"

"plus avant-garde design at hot spot Peter restaurant and bar with views that don't quit"

"Side streets filled with tiny yet chic galleries and boutiques beg for exploration, while Sukiyabashi Jiro, the Michelin-starred sushi bar featured in the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, sits in a nearby subway station"

"Have afternoon tea in the lobby or an authentic Cantonese meal at the Hei Fung Terrace restaurant, followed by city-gazing cocktails at Peter the Bar"

"The Seven Seas Pacific Aviation Lounge, a meeting and events space, has fantastic night views and exhibits certain to entertain airplane buffs"

"The view is top of the world from the restaurant and the adjoining lounge, where live music plays Wednesday through Sunday evenings"
