Tokyo is one of my favorite cities, and its hotel scene is as diverse and vibrant as the city itself. From luxury skyscrapers with breathtaking views to charming boutique hotels that emphasize traditional Japanese hospitality, Tokyo’s hotel scene is second to none. Here, discover some of the best hotels in Tokyo, selected from my multiple visits over the years and ranging from glossy Ginza towers to smaller, ryokan-style hideaways. Whether you’re looking for the iconic setting of the Park Hyatt Tokyo, renowned for its role in the cult film "Lost in Translation", the serene luxury of Aman Tokyo, or the hip, minimalist design of Muji Hotel Ginza, my guide will help you find the perfect place to stay.
3-7-1-2 Nishi Shinjuku
Featured in the iconic film “Lost in Translation”, the Park Hyatt Tokyo is a must-visit for film buffs and luxury travelers. I've stayed at the Park Hyatt Tokyo multiple times, and each visit reaffirms its status as one of Tokyo's best hotels. Trust me when I say staying here is worth every penny, thanks to the hotel’s sprawling city views, excellent restaurants and plush beds. Rooms have a faintly Japanese feel, with bed frames accented by paper lanterns.
The Park Hyatt’s lobby bar – known as the New York Grill – is probably the most recognizable spot from the film, and I’m thrilled to report that it’s just as good as it was over 20 years ago when it first opened. Even if you’re not staying here, a nightcap at one of the most iconic movie settings from the last 30 years is a must.
Tokyo Midtown 9-7-1 Akasaka Minato-ku
Price:$749-3485/night
Unlike many other large hotels in Tokyo, the Ritz-Carlton is in the quieter Roppongi area and offers a peaceful retreat just steps from Hinokicho Park. This is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Tokyo for those looking for a quieter stay in a more residential area.
Best of all, you still get to enjoy the excellent service and beautiful rooms that come with staying at a top hotel, as well as having the ability to uncover charming local shops and cafes – something that can feel tricky to do in a city as sprawling as Tokyo.
Rooms have views of both the Tokyo Tower and Mount Fuji on clear, low-humidity days – I recommend booking on one of the higher club-level floors. I still dream about the included daily breakfast here, especially the made-to-order waffles.
2-1-1 Nihonbashi Muromachi
Price:$587-4100/night
Situated between the 30th and 38th floors of Tokyo’s Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower in Nihonbashi, the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo offers a luxurious stay near some of Tokyo’s best shopping and dining spots. There’s also a Tokyo Metro station located directly below the property, making this one of the best hotels in Tokyo for exploring the city.
Views here are unmatched, which you’ll notice as soon as you check in, with the hotel’s reception desk backdropped by a two-story window showcasing the Tokyo Skytree and a view of Mount Fuji. The vistas are just as spectacular in any of the hotel’s 179 rooms, with each one featuring plenty of natural wood and a bonsai tree, which comes complete with its own biography.
Cherry blossom motifs on the headboards also add to the sense of place, while Bottega Veneta toiletries in the bathrooms feel suitably spoiling.
3-4-2 Kotobashi, Sumida-ku
Price:$169-617/night
After landing in Tokyo for the first time on a rainy January evening, the Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho was my home for a few days – and I’m so glad it was. Part of Marriott’s smartly designed Moxy imprint, it set the tone for what to expect from my first visit to the city: a go-go-go attitude and welcoming Japanese hospitality. The hotel staff was friendly, efficient, and always happy to provide me with information.
The bar doubles as your check-in desk, and the rooms are efficient and compact – you’re in Tokyo, after all, not somewhere to spend your days lounging around in bed. Should you need a late-night snack, there’s a well-stocked grab-and-go pantry downstairs, and surrounding streets are lined with small izakayas and convenience stores, known for their excellent food.
The Moxy Tokyo Kinschicho is just a few steps from the busy Kinshicho metro station, making it one of the best hotels in Tokyo for sightseeing."
