Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Japan
Conrad TokyoEvery booking through suitespot includes:- Breakfast for two – at all 112 properties
- Late check-out – at 108
- Room upgrade at 109
- Free internet at 82
Entry level sits at around €92 at The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike. At the top the range leaves room-rate logic behind: Trunk House Tokyo is listed at around €3,401, which is a whole-property rate. A typical rate in Japan is about €316.
Every single one has a rate on file – true of no other large destination of ours.
The only large destination with no gaps
Japan is a special case in our portfolio, in two respects.Conrad OsakaFirst: an entry rate is on file for all 112 properties. Not one is missing from the price list.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comSecond: all 112 properties carry breakfast for two guests. Here too, no exception.
Both together exist nowhere else: among all countries where we carry at least 60 properties, Japan is the only one where both figures stand at 100 percent. Australia has breakfast everywhere but not a rate everywhere; Indonesia is the other way round. In the United States barely half the properties carry breakfast.
In practice: in Japan you can compare without asking back. What you see in the list is complete – and breakfast needs no checking anywhere.
suitespot rates are full direct rates: the benefits come on top of the regular rate.
Two destinations lie inside others
Our eleven destinations in Japan are not all side by side – two of them lie within others. Add the figures up and you count properties twice.
Shinjuku City lies in Tokyo
The eight properties in Shinjuku City are a Tokyo ward. Seven of them also stand among the 39 properties of the Tokyo overview.Fairmont TokyoYokohama, by contrast, does not overlap: none of its four properties appears in Tokyo.
Hokkaido contains three further destinations
Hokkaido is an island, not a city. Its four properties include the one in Kutchan, the one in Niseko and one of the two in Sapporo.
The rest spreads wide
After Tokyo (39), Kyoto (16) and Osaka (13) only small destinations follow. Properties stand in Nagoya, Nara, Hakone, Shima, on Okinawa and on Miyakojima, among others – mostly one or two per place.
What a hotel night costs
An entry rate is on file for all 112 properties: from around 92 € to around 3,401 €, with the mid-point at around 316 €.Patina Osaka16 properties start below 150 €, 28 below 200 € and 52 of the 112 below 300 €.
85 of the 112 sit below 500 €, 27 above, seven from 1,000 € and three from 2,000 €.
At the top stands Trunk House Tokyo at around 3,401 € – a rate for the whole house, not for a room. Then follow Aman Kyoto (around 2,168 €), the ESPACIO The Hakone Geihinkan Rin Poh Ki Ryu (around 2,038 €) and the HOTEL BIACLYN HAKODATE (around 1,575 €).
Most affordable are the The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike (around 92 €), the RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka (around 99 €), the Hyatt Centric Kanazawa (around 106 €), the Sheraton Kagoshima (around 119 €) and the Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden (around 120 €).
Only eight programmes – and 29 properties with none
83 of the 112 properties belong to a points programme, spread across only eight different ones. 29 carry none – a good quarter.
Eight programmes is few: in France there are 13, in the United Kingdom 16. Japan is straightforward in this respect.
At the front stands Marriott Bonvoy with 31 properties, then IHG Rewards with 15 and World of Hyatt with 14. Together these three hold 60 of the 83 programme properties.
Behind them follow the Leaders Club and I Prefer with 6 each, Hilton Honors and ALL (Accor) with 5 each, and Shangri-La Golden Circle with one property.
The upgrade is worth a careful look: 14 properties record it already at the time of booking rather than on arrival. A points credit is on file at 73 properties.
Where benefits are missing
On breakfast there is nothing to report: it applies at all 112 properties.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comA room upgrade is on file at 109 of the 112 properties – only three carry none. A late check-out applies at 108.
On internet the coverage thins: free internet is recorded at 82 of the 112 properties, a 100 USD hotel credit at 75 and a welcome gift at 72.
On the minimum stay, 54 properties expressly carry none and only 13 ask for two nights. For the rest nothing is recorded.
All-inclusive is on file for not a single property, and a breakfast credit in place of breakfast does not occur here either.

Why do Tokyo and Shinjuku City show the same hotels?
Because Shinjuku City is a Tokyo ward. Seven of the eight properties in Shinjuku City also stand among the 39 properties of the Tokyo overview.
The same applies to Hokkaido: the island contains the properties in Kutchan and Niseko as well as one of the two in Sapporo.
Yokohama, by contrast, does not overlap with Tokyo.

The largest: Tokyo with 39 properties, Kyoto with 16, Osaka with 13 and Shinjuku City with 8, plus Hokkaido and Yokohama with 4 each.
Note the overlaps: Shinjuku City lies in Tokyo, and Hokkaido contains Kutchan, Niseko and one of the Sapporo properties. These figures must not be added together.
