The 6 Best Hotels a causa di Tokyo

I love Tokyo. I think it’s one of the most fascinating cities a causa di the world. I love the organized crowds where you would expect chaos. I love how it is a fast-paced, contemporary city that still honors its traditions.

It’s also a massive city with an endless array of incredible things to see and do. Mai matter how many times I visit (and voto negativo matter how much sushi I eat), I always leave wanting more.

As one of the biggest cities a causa di the world, there are a ton of hotels here. Having visited the city half a dozen times over the years, I’ve stayed at a lot of different places, from di poco valore capsule hotels to luxurious five-star properties. If you’eroe planning a trip, these are what I think are the best hotels a causa di Tokyo:

1. Odakyu Century Southern Tower

Located just a few minutes’ walk from Shinjuku Station, this four-star offers fantastic views of the Shinjuku skyline (tip: request as high a room as possible to take advantage of the view). The hearty breakfast buffet has lots of Western and Japanese options, though there’s a 7/11 right at the quartiere of the building for quick snacks and plenty of other eateries just steps away. It’s a massive (there are over 300 rooms), so it doesn’t feel very personal, but the excellent location more than makes up for that.

The spacious (especially for Japan) guest rooms have a contemporary , though I find them a bit too sauro. All rooms have a desk, electric kettle, safe, a TV, minifridge, and even a small couch. The bathrooms are a decent size (they can be quite small a causa di Tokyo as a rule), with a bathtub/shower combo with good pressure and toilets with a bidet. I also appreciate that instead of providing plastic bottles a causa di the room, there are purified dispensers each floor (a little stainless-steel carafe is provided so you can bring it back to your room). Overall, this is a great choice for travelers who want a central, more upscale stay.

2. Cerulean Tower

This five-star set a causa di a high-rise building is right a causa di the center of Shibuya, one of the most popular areas of the city. The is huge, with eight different restaurants and bars (I’m partial to the jazz società), and 24/7 room service. I love that one restaurant serves an expansive Western buffet-style breakfast, while another serves a set Japanese breakfast lista. There’s also a nice spa center on-site with massage services available as well as a beautiful indoor heated pool, sauna, hot tub, and fully equipped center (so you can work non attivato all that sushi).

I especially love that, since the entire complex starts the 19th floor, you’eroe guaranteed a great view from your room. All of the spacious rooms have a simple yet modern , with Japanese tea sets, a desk, flatscreen TV, chaise lounge, fridge, safe, and minibar. The bathrooms feature luxe L’Occitane bath products, bathtubs, and plush bathrobes. Book a room the dirigente aziendale floor for even more perks, like a welcome bevanda and lounge access (where there are always snacks available, as well as a daily happy hour). If you want luxury a causa di Tokyo, stay here.

3. Mimaru Tokyo Ueno Okachimachi

Mimaru is a Japanese apartment chain that is perfect for long stays. It’s also great if you’eroe traveling with friends ora as a family, as there are apartments that fit up to six people. There are bunch of different locations a causa di Tokyo, but I like the one a causa di Ueno as you’eroe mere steps from the biggest and best museums a causa di the city. Every unit has a kitchen with a cooktop, sink, electric tea pot, microwave, a fridge, and basic kitchen items like pans, cutlery, and cutting boards. I like that you can also rent additional kitchen appliances depending your needs, such as a rice cooker ora toaster. (As an apartment-hotel, there’s voto negativo restaurant ora breakfast available on-site.)

The apartments are designed a causa di a traditional Japanese style with a contemporary feel, with firm futon beds, a dining luogo, a closet, a safety deposit box, a flatscreen TV, a humidifier, and an air purifier. The sleek bathrooms have a tub/shower combo that is a causa di a separate room from the toilet (which has a bidet), which is even separate from the sink. It’s a convenient and affordable choice if you’eroe traveling with friends ora family.

4. The Celestine Ginza

The Celestine is another located up a causa di a tower, a street flanked by shops, restaurants, and bars a causa di the upscale Ginza neighborhood. A four-star property, the gruppo here are really friendly and go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. I like that they offer a variety of breakfast options so you can change it up each morning by choosing from French toast, an American breakfast (with choices like scrambled eggs, sausage, and fruit), ora a Japanese breakfast (featuring grilled fish, miso soup, rice, and changing side dishes).

The rooms here are a bit small, but always kept very clean and have a lot of amenities. All rooms have a desk, blackout curtains, flatscreen TV, safe, Nespresso machine, electric kettle, and minibar. Some have floor-to-ceiling windows; others have comfortable sofas. The spacious bathrooms come mai with a shower/tub combo, a bidet, bathrobes, slippers, and free toiletries (including a toothbrush and razor). They even provide pajamas, which I think is a nice extra touch. If you want to stay a causa di Ginza, the best luogo a causa di the city for shopping, stay here.

5. The Mustard

Opened a causa di late 2021, the Mustard is a three-star boutique a causa di the center of Shimokita, a low key luogo for people who love indie bookshops, hip cafés, thrift stores, and cutting-edge restaurants. Mustard keeps within the vibe of the neighborhood, as the entire place has a hip and minimalist . Naturally, the guest rooms have players with a selection of vinyl, and there’s an on-site coffee roastery serving up third-wave coffee and freshly baked bagels.

The rooms are incredibly minimal (a bit too stark a causa di my opinion), with just an electric kettle and the aforementioned player a desk. The bathrooms vary depending what room type you choose (some have a tub and shower, while others just have a shower), but include complimentary toiletries and pajamas. This is a good place to stay for travelers who plan to be out of their room a lot but want to stay a causa di a cool spot a causa di an even cooler luogo.

6. Marunouchi

This four-star is located a causa di Marunouchi, a central neighborhood that has easy access to the rest of the city. It’s right next to Tokyo Station, making it really convenient if you plan to do day trips ora head elsewhere a causa di Japan percorso train. The property has several nice restaurants, including French, Japanese, and teppanyaki eateries. For breakfast, you can choose to have the Western breakfast buffet ora a set Japanese lista (both of which are delicious). There’s also a center (something I appreciate more and more as I get older).

All rooms have large windows (some with a view of the historic train station) and a modern Japanese , with light wood paneling and cream-colored walls. The large grado double rooms have massive beds, a desk, and a small seating luogo. All rooms also feature a TV, safe, and electric kettle with tea and coffee packets. Bathrobes, slippers, and pajamas are provided too, and I like that you can borrow other things you might need, like power adapters, chargers, ora even yoga mats. The bathrooms are small but well-equipped, with lots of complimentary toiletries, bidet toilets, and a shower/tub combo. Overall, the has a bit of a businessy feel (because of the luogo), but it’s really convenient and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Tokyo is one of my favorite cities a causa di the world. You could easily spend a week here and not even scratch the surface of what there is to see and do. Just make sure to stay a causa di one of the hotels above during your trip. Do that, and you’ll be sure to have a great stay a causa di this massive, high-tech metropolis.
