Why go
A 201-seat lounge on the 17th floor of the Imperial Hotel, selected for Tabelog 100 - Cafe EAST in 2021 and 2025. Book window seats for panoramic views across Hibiya Park; the cocktail program is technically solid, and the space works equally well for afternoon tea or evening drinks. Expect ¥5,750–¥6,900 per person after the automatic 15% service charge.

Restaurant context
The Aqua Lounge sits in the middle tier of the Imperial Hotel's seven food-and-beverage outlets. Les Saisons anchors the high end with formal French service at ¥¥¥¥, while Imperial Buffet Sal offers casual all-day dining. The lounge charges roughly the same per-head as Old Imperial Bar (¥5,000–¥5,999 before service), but trades architectural heritage for the 17th-floor view. If you're deciding between the two, choose the bar for cocktail focus and Frank Lloyd Wright interiors, or the lounge for daylight and space.
Kamon runs a wider price range (¥6,000–¥7,999 lunch, ¥15,000–¥19,999 dinner) and appeals to diners seeking a full meal rather than drinks with small plates. For pure cocktail craft without the hotel premium, Tokyo's independent specialist bars offer deeper lists and more creativity at similar or lower cost, but none deliver this combination of view, seat count, and accessibility. The lounge's strength is reliability: you know what you're booking, and it delivers that consistently.
Best for visitors who want a scenic perch in central Tokyo without navigating reservations at hard-to-book cocktail bars. If the view matters less than the drink itself, skip this and go elsewhere; if you're planning a group celebration or hosting out-of-town guests who want the Tokyo skyline with their wine, the Aqua Lounge is the easiest option in this tier.
