#  The Best Places To Sleep In Tokyo  


The city’s best accommodation offers more than just a comfortable bed – it’s designed to immerse you in the Japanese way of life, embracing respect, serenity and a deep appreciation for nature. From modern hotels in towering skyscrapers to traditional ryokans, here are the top places to stay in Tokyo.

#### K5, Chuo City (£)

For an affordable boutique hotel that ticks all the boxes, K5 is a design-led property housed in a former bank near Nihonbashi. The 20 rooms are spread across three floors, each with seriously cool origami-inspired armchairs, desk areas concealed by draped linen and modern en-suites with soft lighting. You’ll spot a plethora of indoor plants around the hotel, especially in the in-house bar, library and restaurant, Caveman, where multi-course tasting menus combine Japanese, French and Scandi flavours and technique.

#### Yuen Bettei Daita, Setagaya (£)

If you really want to immerse yourself in Japanese culture, book a stay at a ryokan – traditional Japanese inns with communal baths filled with thermal waters. This ryokan is set in one of the city’s coolest districts, Setagaya, which is home to multiple streetwear shops and coffee houses. Guests can unwind in the indoor hot spring baths, filled with water from mountainous spa town Hakone, before retreating to cosy rooms with sliding doors and simple amenities. There’s a Japanese tea room and restaurant for traditional breakfasts, plus a relaxation space.

*Visit* [UDS-HOTELS.COM](https://www.uds-hotels.com/en/yuenbettei/daita/)

#### Toggle Hotel, Suidobashi (£)

Bold colours, contemporary design and warm hospitality make Toggle Hotel a good choice for first timers. Bright blue, green or pink rooms come in varying sizes, including interconnecting rooms for families and groups. Guests can use the laundry service, and order drinks and snacks at the café with its outdoor terrace. Indoor stadium Tokyo Dome is nearby, while the metro will get you to Shinjuku in 15 minutes.

*Visit* [TOGGLEHOTEL.COM](https://www.togglehotel.com/suidobashi/en/)

#### Ryokan Sawanoya, Yanaka (£)

This no-frills ryokan is as traditional as it gets – think simple, comfortable rooms with tatami mats, futon bedding and shared baths. Things haven’t changed much in the 70 years since it opened, adding to its charm. Guests can unwind in indoor and outdoor baths or take part in traditional tea ceremonies. Be prepared to speak a little Japanese, or have Google Translate at the ready, and embrace the slow pace at which things are done here.

#### Mustard Hotel, Shimokitazawa (£)

Another affordable option, you’ll find Mustard Hotel in the cool neighbourhood of Shimokitazawa, known for its vintage clothing stores and small cafés. It attracts an eclectic mix of travellers who are drawn to its no-nonsense approach. Rooms are minimally designed and feature record players with a small vinyl selection, while the café and communal spaces are where you’ll meet other travellers.

*Visit* [MUSTARDHOTEL.COM](https://mustardhotel.com/shimokitazawa/stay/#pic-05)

#### Book And Bed, Shunjuku (£)

If you’re travelling to Japan on a budget, this is the city’s best hostel – though it’s no secret, as rooms fill up quickly. Single and double bunk beds are available in mixed dorms, with a nice selection of English and Japanese books on shelves, while superior rooms with king-sized beds offer more privacy. WiFi is free, there are ample storage lockers and there’s a small bar for sandos and hot drinks. Toiletries are also available to buy and the pyjama rental is a nice touch.

#### Onsen Ryokan Yuen Bettei Tokyo Daita, Setagaya (£)

For a boutique hotel experience, this onsen hotel encourages guests to relax away from the busy city outside. Offering excellent value for money, rooms are spacious and some have open-air baths on patios. Elsewhere, guests can bathe in the hot spring onsen filled with water from spa town Hakone, enjoy traditional Japanese breakfasts at the restaurant and relax with massages at the small spa.

*Visit* [UDS-HOTELS.COM](https://www.uds-hotels.com/yuenbettei/daita)

#### Akihabara Bay Hotel, Akihabara (£)

The Japanese invented capsule hotels in the 70s to offer affordable accommodation in densely populated cities. Akihabara Bay Hotel is a female-only capsule hotel near Akihabara station. As you’d expect, facilities are basic, but pods have dimmable lighting, TVs and comfy single beds. There are storage facilities, communal areas and ATMs on site.

#### The Okura, Toranomon (££)

The Okura Tokyo is a member of [The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.lhw.com/), a collection of independent, luxury hotels hand-selected for their excellence. The latter is particularly true of this hotel, where the friendly team will go to the ends of the earth to make sure you have a memorable stay. This heritage hotel reopened in 2019, and many of its original mid-century features from the 60s have been restored, including its impressive lobby. Guests can stay in the 41-story prestige tower or the more modern 17-story Heritage Wing, which has excellent views of the buzzy Toranomon district. There are five restaurants offering everything from Japanese fine dining to Chinese food, as well as two bars, an impressive spa and a Japanese tea house for tea ceremonies. Attention to detail is evident in every corner – the hotel even has its own breed of wagyu beef.

*Visit* [LHW.COM](https://www.lhw.com/hotel/Okura-Tokyo-Tokyo-Japan)

#### The Edition, Ginza (££)

Tokyo is one of the few cities in the world where luxury hotel brand The Edition has two outposts. You’ll want to visit the original in Toranomon to see its rooftop bar, but we like the smaller, newer property in Ginza, which has just 86 rooms and is only a short walk from some of the city’s best shops. Ian Schrager’s influences are everywhere, though subtle nods to traditional Japanese design are also evident, too. There’s a natural wine bar on the rooftop, an all-day Japanese restaurant and a gold-coloured lobby bar where you can try local sakes.

*Visit* [EDITIONHOTELS.COM](https://www.editionhotels.com/tokyo-ginza/)

#### Imperial Hotel, Chiyoda (££)

For old-school glamour and traditional Japanese hospitality, Imperial Hotel has been welcoming international guests since 1890. Having been rebuilt twice since first opening, the hotel is vast, with nearly 1,000 rooms and 17 restaurants and bars. Rooms are grand, though minimally decorated, with the most modern located on the Imperial floors. Tea ceremonies take place in its tea rooms, though the team will happily arrange other traditional experiences around the city.

*Visit* [IMPERIALHOTEL.CO.JP](https://www.imperialhotel.co.jp/en/tokyo)

#### The Palace Hotel, Chiyoda (££)

Overlooking the Imperial Palace Gardens in Marunouchi, this luxury hotel is grand on every scale, from its spacious suites to its light-filled lobby where guests are greeted by the hotel’s signature floral scent. There’s lots of choice on offer, too, thanks to its ten restaurants and bars, including a tempura bar and a fine dining French restaurant overseen by Alain Ducasse. The Evian spa offers an endless selection of treatments, while the indoor pool overlooking the palace is the perfect spot to unwind.

#### Muji Hotel, Ginza (££)

Japanese brand Muji, known for its functional homeware and clothing, has three hotels across Asia. The Tokyo property, just a short walk from Ginza’s designer stores, is home to the brand’s flagship store, where shoppers will find an extensive selection of products and guests will find the check-in desk. As you’d expect, rooms and communal areas are kitted out with Muji products, while the on-site restaurant reflects the brand’s simple ethos.

*Visit* [HOTEL.MUJI.COM](https://hotel.muji.com/ginza/en/)

#### The Kitano, Chiyoda (££)

After a recent refurbishment, The Kitano is now part of the prestigious Relais &amp; Châteaux collection. Just a short walk from the Imperial Palace, there’s a relaxed atmosphere at the hotel – where friendly staff welcome guests into its serene atmosphere. Rooms are light and bright, with minimalist interiors and spacious bathrooms. You’ll want to head to the rooftop bar to enjoy sake or cocktails with great city views and dine at its French-Japanese fusion restaurant.

#### Bulgari Tokyo, Chuo City (£££)

A true feat of modern architecture, this hotel is spread across the top six floors of a skyscraper in Tokyo’s Yaesu district. The group’s Italian architect is behind the ultra-modern design: doors are concealed, archways are made from Italian and Japanese marble, and soft colours are complemented by clever lighting. Rooms and suites have breathtaking city views from the clouds, and there are dining options for every occasion and time of day, including an eight-person sushi counter, headed up by one of the country’s best sushi masters, Takuro Shimizu. The real highlight though is the spa, arguably the best in the city. It’s home to a 25m pool, sauna experiences, a rooftop terrace, and sleek changing facilities with Augustinus Bader products. Service is discreet yet attentive.

*Visit* [BULGARIHOTELS.COM](https://www.bulgarihotels.com/en_US/tokyo)

#### Mandarin Oriental, Chūō (£££)

Over the last 20 years, Mandarin Oriental Tokyo has established itself as one of the top hotels in the city with its panoramic views and exciting, ever-evolving culinary offering. Now, guests are drawn in by its award-winning sushi restaurant and pizzeria – now widely regarded as one of the best in the world. On the 34th floor, the spa combines eastern and western practices with extensive treatments. The brilliant concierge team can book everything from day trips to Mt Fuji to tours of the nearby neighbourhoods.

*Visit* [MANDARINORIENTAL.COM](https://www.mandarinoriental.com/en/tokyo/nihonbashi)

#### Trunk Hotel, Shibuya (£££)

Trunk Hotel is a beautifully designed eco-friendly, boutique property with just 15 rooms. On trendy Cat Street, in between Shibuya and Harajuku, the hotel has some of the best interiors on this list, with custom-made and vintage furniture on every floor. The property is designed with socialising in mind, featuring numerous communal areas for lounging or working, as well as a lively open café and bar for matcha lattes and cocktails. For a blow-the-budget trip, the group also has a one-bed property in Shinjuku, complete with butlers, private dining and a hidden karaoke room.

#### Hoshinoya Tokyo, Chiyoda (£££)

This ultra-luxe ryokan is a perfect example of Japanese tradition that’s been brought into the 21st century. There are six rooms on each floor, all with minimalist Japanese interiors, alongside a traditional tradochanoma which is connected via a tatami-matted corridor. Guests are encouraged to meditate, reflect and help themselves to an array of tea. On the top floor, there’s an onsen with natural salt water supplied from nearby natural springs, where guests can bathe in their own mini hot tub.

*Visit* [HOSHINORESORTS.COM](https://hoshinoresorts.com/en/hotels/hoshinoyatokyo)

#### Aman Tokyo, Otemachi (£££)

Bucket list trips should always start with a night at an Aman hotel, and the ultra-luxe group’s Tokyo hotel is up there. Hidden behind sprawling greenery in the Otemachi district, the whole building has minimalist Japanese décor, with serene staff who guide you from one peaceful room to the next. The 84 rooms reflect Aman’s signature style, featuring natural materials like wood, stone, and washi paper, while the spa is home to onsen-style baths, steam rooms and a 30m pool with panoramic skyline views.

#### Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi, Otemachi (£££)

This Four Seasons hotel occupies the top six floors of the Otemachi One Tower. 190 rooms and suites offer some of the best views of the Imperial Palace and Mount Fuji of any hotel in the city. The spa with its 67 ft heated indoor pool, offers magical views, especially at sunset. If you’re not staying, it’s worth visiting its French restaurant, Est, where diners enjoy multi-course meals featuring dishes that showcase classic French technique with quality Japanese ingredients.

*Visit* [FOURSEASONS.COM](https://www.fourseasons.com/otemachi/)

#### Janu Tokyo, Minato (£££)

Aman’s sibling brand Janu recently opened its first hotel in Tokyo's upmarket shopping area, Azabudia Hills. As with Janu’s other properties, the focus is on wellness – the 4,000 sq m spa is one of the biggest in the city. Its wellness centre has multiple movement spaces, including areas for boxing and spin, plus a recovery room with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. You’ll also find hydrotherapy pools, thermal areas and two private spa houses with plunge pools, a steam bath and hammam. Elsewhere, spacious, light-filled suites have views of Eiffel Tower-esque Tokyo Tower, while the hotel’s five restaurants cater to a diverse clientele.
