Where To Stay When Traveling To Tokyo

Tokyo has an incredible variety of accommodations available to travelers. From the notorious cubicle-style temporary rest spaces to luxury hotels, business visitors will never be disappointed. But which style of hotel is right for you?

The Best In Luxury

If you are looking for unparalleled service, Tokyo offers many of the best-known American high end hotels for those who travel there. The Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Chinzan-So has legendary Four Seasons comfort and amenities, including amazing landscaping and the feeling of being in an oasis within the city. The only drawback is that it is relatively far from the center of the city, meaning visitors may need to travel to the city center. The Mandarin Oriental Tokyo is more centrally located, but still offers the same high caliber of service and great rooms.

The Park Hyatt Tokyo is also central, with a wonderful restaurant that can be a big plus for business dinners. Finally, the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo rounds out the luxury selection. This beautiful hotel has some of the highest floors in Tokyo's tallest building, but also has some of the largest and best appointed rooms. The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo also provides the legendary service that characterizes Ritz-Carlton properties around the world.

The Best For The Budget

Airfare to Japan can be expensive when your business travel isn't paid for by a large company. To help the trip make the most profit, stay at one of these great moderately priced hotels. The Hotel Century Southern Tower is enviably close to Shinjuku station, located in a tall modern building in the heart of Shinjuku. The Ginza Washington Hotel is also centrally located in the Ginza, and although the rooms are on the smaller side, it still feels relaxing and very liveable. Finally, the Park Hotel Tokyo is walking distance from the Ginza and offers many interesting restaurants for business dinners.

The Overall Best for Business

The Royal Park Hotel offers great business amenities that are convenient for business travel. The hotel offers frequent shuttles to the airport for those who need to catch flights, numerous restaurants and 24-hour room service, plus a business center that allows you to work anytime, any day. This hotel also offers a unique in-room computerized TV system that includes free internet access, including email.
