Opening shortly after the station itself, Tokyo Station Hotel has been cutting a striking figure above the streets of Marunouchi since 1915. Topped with ornate prewar domes and lined with tall, arched windows, it is set apart from Tokyo’s glitzy, glass hotels, and has been designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The hotel enjoys a dedicated entrance to Tokyo Station, making it easy to zip off to see the city’s many dazzling sights and fabulous restaurants. Although, the hotel holds its own with a collection of 10 restaurants and bars to choose from. We can see why it has welcomed so many prominent guests over the years.




Beyond its grand, European-style facade, the Tokyo Station Hotel has a whole host of dining spots. Enjoy fine French cuisine accompanied by your choice of over 1,000 different wines at the elegant Blanc Rouge, Northern Italian dishes made with quality Japanese ingredients at the Enoteca Norio, and a range of sushi, kaiseki and teppanyaki. The retro Camellia acts as a cafe by day and morphs into a smart bar by night, while Toraya Tokyo serves wagashi, artistically prepared Japanese confections. Luxuriate with a treatment at the spa, or visit the man-made hot spring for a soak.
The hotel has a wide selection of rooms, each as plush as can be with large, pillowy beds, decadent furnishings and fixtures, and colour palettes that create a serene environment. Your choices range from standard rooms all the way to the Imperial Suite, which boasts a separate living area and den, and views over the palace. Every detail is beautifully thought out, from peacock-adorned bedspreads to rose-coloured chandeliers, and the views vary between the Tokyo Station promenade, the GYoko-dori Avenue and the streets of Marunouchi.
You couldn’t be better situated to explore Tokyo, which could entail taking a guided tour of the Imperial Palace grounds, strolling through the Hamarikyu Gardens, perusing high-end stores and art galleries in Ginza or sampling impeccable seafood at the Tsukiji Market. If you’re a real foodie, head to Ramen Street for a taste of this simple but iconic Japanese dish. You can also see the city from a different perspective on a cruise down the river in nearby Nihonbashi.
