Seminars and company events
The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo hosts board meetings, training sessions, product presentations and banquets for up to 100 guests, in event rooms on the 26th floor of Shinagawa East One Tower. The hotel occupies the upper floors of the tower in Konan, Minato-ku, and is linked to Shinagawa Station by an indoor walkway, which matters for teams arriving by Shinkansen from Osaka or Kyoto for a one-day meeting.
A dedicated event coordinator handles each booking, and the hotel publishes meeting packages, menus and a request form. The main rooms carry projectors, audio and visual equipment, video conferencing, blackout shades, Wi-Fi and direct-dial lines. The hotel takes part in IHG Business Rewards, so the organiser can earn points on qualifying events.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core activity. Sonor, the hotel chapel, has floor-to-ceiling windows over the Tokyo skyline and, on clear days, a view to Mount Fuji. Receptions follow in Ribalta, the largest event space, or in Harmonia, which sits 110 meters above street level and serves Cantonese cuisine. Etude works for small family gatherings before the ceremony.
Rooms and capacities
Ribalta seats up to 100 at banquet or 70 in classroom layout and can be divided into two rooms; it also takes theatre, boardroom and reception set-ups, with skyline views. Etude is a flexible room with daylight for theatre, classroom, boardroom, banquet and reception formats, and often serves as pre-function space. Sonor takes ceremonies and receptions. Harmonia hosts banquets and receptions with daylight. For small groups, the Ivory private dining room of China Shadow seats 4 to 10, and Accord offers two semi-private rooms of 2 to 6 guests each that join for up to 12.
Accommodation
Guest rooms run from Premium Rooms, with or without lounge access, to Club InterContinental rooms and suites, all on the upper floors of the tower. The 24-hour fitness center has views over the city, and the business corner offers printing and copying.
Catering
Catering is in-house, with set menus and packages for meetings and banquets. The restaurants are Melodia Italian Grill, China Shadow for Cantonese cuisine and Rhythmos Cafe and Bar, and private dining can be arranged in Ivory and Accord.
