Seated high above the bustling Tokyo metropolis in the Club International Lounge on the 35th floor of the ANA InterContinental Tokyo, recently appointed hotel General Manager Michel Chertouh sees a bright future for the iconic Tokyo property.

That future starts in November with the opening of the hotel's all-new Club Rooms on the 32nd to 35th floors. "These rooms will introduce a new category of hospitality within the ANA InterContinental Tokyo. They will be our top-level rooms and in addition to offering fantastic views of the city, they will be innovative when it comes to technology, as well as the look and feel of the design," Chertouh, the former regional general manager of InterContinental's resorts in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, said.

When the renovations are complete, there will be 85 rooms and suites created in a mold of comfort and sophistication. Chertouh noted: "The rooms will be integrated with the club lounge and will be all about bringing a new level of hospitality to our guests. The renovations are a complete redesign and rebuild, offering a major improvement when it comes to the facilities. Additionally, we are going to try to integrate them with the outside experience and make sure that when guests stay in these rooms, they can have an immediate connectivity to what Tokyo can offer.
