Palace Hotel Tokyo · MarunouchiThe luxury hotels in Tokyo each have their own focus, and the best hotel for you depends on how you want to experience the city. For classic elegance by the Imperial Palace, stay in Marunouchi at the Palace Hotel Tokyo, where every room looks out over the palace gardens or the skyline. Traveling on by Shinkansen? Book the Shangri-La Tokyo right next to Tokyo Station.
Mandarin Oriental Tokyo · ChiyodaFor shopping and dining, stay between Ginza and Nihonbashi: at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, whose upper floors show Mount Fuji on clear days, or at The Peninsula Tokyo, facing the Imperial Palace gardens.The two newest openings among the luxury hotels in Tokyo are in the south, close to the bay. Since October 2025 you can stay at the JW Marriott Tokyo directly above the new Takanawa Gateway Station: the 30th-floor reception looks out over Tokyo Bay, and the eight-seat kappo counter Saki follows a concept by two chefs who each hold two Michelin stars. In July 2025 the Fairmont Tokyo opened in Shibaura as Japan's first Fairmont, with a 20-meter infinity pool on the 35th floor and views of Tokyo Tower.
JW Marriott Tokyo · Minato-kuFor film fans and lovers of a view: the Park Hyatt Tokyo reopened in December 2025 after a 19-month restoration. Studio Jouin Manku redesigned all 171 rooms and suites with wet-room bathrooms. The New York Grill & Bar on the 52nd floor, known from “Lost in Translation,” is back in its original design, and the new Girandole by Alain Ducasse brasserie has joined the line-up.
If you choose your 5-star hotel in Tokyo by what's newest, you'll often end up high above the streets. The Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo has occupied floors 40 to 45 of Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, opposite Tokyo Station, since April 2023, designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Since May 2023, the Bellustar Tokyo has sat some 200 meters above the Kabukicho entertainment district, every room with windows seven meters wide.
Kengo Kuma design comes with The Tokyo EDITION Ginza, open since late 2023: 86 rooms behind a facade of woven metal, plus the Punch Room bar. In March 2024 the Janu Tokyo followed in Azabudai Hills, the first hotel of Aman's sister brand Janu, with a wellness center spread over four floors.
Classics have been refreshed, too. At the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, all rooms and suites were renovated in 2019 with fabrics from Nihonbashi and a new Presidential Suite. The Westin Tokyo in Ebisu received its first major renovation since 1994 in 2023: an orangery-style lobby with 13-meter marble columns and the Escalier sky bar on the top floor.
Good to know when planning: InterContinental The Strings Tokyo will be renamed InterContinental Tokyo Shinagawa on December 1, 2026. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu closes completely on January 30 and 31, 2027, while its emergency generator is replaced. At the Imperial Hotel Tokyo a rebuild is planned; under the current plan the 1983 Tower stays in operation until around the end of fiscal year 2030, including its 20th-floor pool, though several restaurants in the Tower have already closed.
Many pools in Tokyo sit 20 or 30 floors above the streets, and some gardens open their pools to the open sky in summer.
The Okura Tokyo · MinatoIf you want to swim proper laps at a 5-star hotel in Tokyo, you have a good choice. Our tip: The Okura Tokyo with a heated 25-meter pool and plenty of daylight on the 27th floor, open to children from 13. The heated pool in the spa at the Aman Tokyo measures 30 meters, with views across the skyline. At The Prince Park Tower Tokyo by Shiba Park you swim 25 meters, from age 20 and for a fee.
Swimming with a view: at The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho the pool is on the 30th floor, 140 meters above ground, free for hotel guests aged 13 and over. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu has a heated 20-meter pool on the 14th floor with an open-air jacuzzi in a two-story atrium and views as far as Tokyo Skytree. At the Fairmont Tokyo you look out at Tokyo Tower from the 20-meter infinity pool on the 35th floor, next to an outdoor relaxation pool with sun deck.
By the Imperial Palace: in the evian SPA at the Palace Hotel Tokyo you swim behind floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Imperial Palace Plaza. The Shangri-La Tokyo has a heated 20-meter pool with whirlpool, reserved for hotel guests, and at The Peninsula Tokyo the heated 20-meter pool opens onto an outdoor terrace.
Special pools: at the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo the roof above the warm pool opens, and the Presidential Suite at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo comes with its own heated outdoor pool on the 21st floor. At the Park Hyatt Tokyo you swim on the 47th floor under a glass atrium with views over the city.
Open-air in summer: at the Takanawa Hanakohro Tokyo, the Diamond Pool in the Japanese garden and the Sky Pool of the neighboring hotel are free for guests in summer. The Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main opens its Garden Pool in the 400-year-old garden, and the ANA InterContinental Tokyo its fourth-floor garden pool from June to September, free for hotel guests. Tell our travel advisors whether you want to swim laps or just take a dip – and we'll find the right pool.
Many high-rise hotels set age limits at the pool. At the Conrad Tokyo, children from 4 may use the indoor pool on the 29th floor (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.), and at the Shangri-La Tokyo also from age 4. At the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, children aged 4 to 12 have set swimming hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and a large Japanese garden waits outside.
The city's big hotel spas have room for a whole afternoon. If you choose your 5-star hotel in Tokyo for its spa, book The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo: the spa on the 46th floor covers some 2,000 m², with ESPA and Bastien Gonzalez treatments, a Japanese plunge pool and saunas of cedar and coral stone. The Aman Spa at the Aman Tokyo spans 2,500 m² over two floors, with onsen-style baths plus yoga and Pilates studios. The evian SPA TOKYO at the Palace Hotel Tokyo covers some 1,200 m² and holds five stars in the Forbes Travel Guide in its own right.
The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo · AkasakaHot springs in the middle of the city: at YU, THE SPA in the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, the onsen water comes from Ito on the Izu Peninsula, alongside Vichy showers and couples' treatments. At The Prince Park Tower Tokyo, a natural hot spring rises from 1,600 meters below Shiba Park.
Japanese rituals: at the Okura Spa in The Okura Tokyo, treatments follow the seasons, with fragrant wood, sake yeast and rice bran. Staying at the Takanawa Hanakohro Tokyo, you have your own spa, TAYUTA SPA, open only to guests of the 16 suites.
Spa with a view: the spa at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo is on the 37th floor, with a vitality pool and water loungers and, on clear days, views as far as Mount Fuji. At the Conrad Tokyo, the ten treatment rooms of Mizuki Spa on the 29th floor are arranged around a round relaxation room; the spa has won several World Luxury Spa Awards.
For two or with friends: the 1,000 m² spa at the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo includes a 25-meter vitality pool, a nail salon and a barber shop. The Janu Tokyo has a wellness center of 4,000 m², with two private Spa Houses with banya and hammam for up to four guests.
Tokyo eats at the counter, and many of the most sought-after places have only eight or ten seats. Our sushi tip: Sushi Shin by Miyakawa on the 38th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, the first Tokyo outpost of a three-Michelin-star sushi restaurant from Hokkaido, at a counter of hinoki cypress more than 350 years old. At the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, Kenji Gyoten serves omakase at the eight seats of Sushi Hōseki; at the Palace Hotel Tokyo, Shinji Kanesaka runs an outpost of his Ginza restaurant; and at the Aman Tokyo, the master of Musashi by Aman picks his fish at the market every morning.
Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo · ChuoMichelin stars shine in three luxury hotels in Tokyo. At The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo, Héritage by Kei Kobayashi holds one star for classic French cuisine with a modern edge. At the Palace Hotel Tokyo, Esterre by Alain Ducasse earned one star in 2026 for the sixth year running, and Amber Palace, the Chinese restaurant in the same hotel, received a star in 2025. At the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, Thierry Voisin has cooked French cuisine for some twenty years; his restaurant Les Saisons has held a Michelin star since 2008.
Japanese cuisine at its finest: at The Okura Tokyo, Yamazato has sushi and kappo counters and a tea ceremony room modeled on the Urasenke school. At The Capitol Hotel Tokyu a corridor leads to Suiren in a garden pavilion, with kaiseki, sushi, tempura and teppanyaki. In the garden of the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo lies Ryotei Kinsui, overlooking the lake and with private rooms only.
French institutions have a long tradition in Tokyo. Guests of the Hotel New Otani Tokyo EXECUTIVE HOUSE ZEN can dine at Tour d'Argent Tokyo in the New Otani's main building, the only outpost of the Paris original. The Park Hyatt Tokyo has added the Girandole by Alain Ducasse brasserie since December 2025, and at the JW Marriott Tokyo, Sefino pairs Mediterranean cooking with Agustin Balbi as partner chef.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Afternoon tea is part of the day in Tokyo's luxury hotels. In The Palace Lounge at the Palace Hotel Tokyo, it is served by kimono-clad staff by the fireplace; the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo serves it in the Oriental Lounge on the 38th floor, and The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo on Arita porcelain with live music. At the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, Le Jardin, which sees itself as the first lounge in Tokyo to offer English-style afternoon tea, looks out onto the garden.
Bars with a past: the Royal Bar at the Palace Hotel Tokyo hides behind a single door, at the restored 1961 counter where “Mr. Martini” once mixed; reservations are not taken. At The Okura Tokyo, the Orchid Bar lives on from the original Okura, and The Capitol Bar at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu received the Forbes Travel Guide Star Bars award in 2025.
For the view from above: the Rooftop Bar on the 52nd floor of the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills hides the omakase counter the SUSHI behind it. At the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, the Bvlgari Bar opens onto terrace gardens, and at the Park Hyatt Tokyo you sit in the New York Bar on the 52nd floor, where “Lost in Translation” was set.
If you dine at your 5-star hotel in Tokyo, plan room and table together – the counters are small and often booked out weeks ahead. The Pizza Bar on 38th at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo has just eight seats and a Bib Gourmand. Héritage at The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and at Esterre in the Palace Hotel Tokyo gentlemen are asked to wear a jacket. Our travel advisors will gladly coordinate arrival and reservation for you.
The story of the luxury hotels in Tokyo begins in 1890 with the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, which opened as a guesthouse for foreign visitors next to the Rokumeikan. In 1923 it moved into Frank Lloyd Wright's building, which survived the Great Kanto Earthquake on its opening day. Today's Main Building dates from 1970 and the Tower from 1983; a new building designed by Tsuyoshi Tane is planned.
Imperial Hotel Tokyo · UchisaiwaichoInside the station itself you stay at The Tokyo Station Hotel. The hotel opened on November 2, 1915, in Kingo Tatsuno's red-brick station building, which had entered service a year earlier. After war damage it reopened in 1951, closed in 2006 for the station's restoration and has welcomed guests in the restored original building since 2012. At Bar Oak you sit among the brick walls of 1915.
Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main · KioichoIf you want your 5-star hotel in Tokyo to carry the spirit of the 1960s, two big names stand out. Kishichiro Okura opened Hotel Okura on his family's estate in 1962, today The Okura Tokyo; every US president since Richard Nixon has stayed here, and after the 2019 rebuild Yoshio Taniguchi reconstructed his father Yoshiro's famous lobby. The Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main opened in September 1964 for the Olympic Games, in a garden with 400 years of history; the James Bond film “You Only Live Twice” was shot here.
Two more addresses carry the 1960s into new buildings. The Palace Hotel Tokyo stands where the old Palace Hotel opened in 1961; for the 2012 rebuild, the facade's Shigaraki tiles were reused and the Royal Bar counter restored. The Capitol Hotel Tokyu sits beside Hie Shrine, where the Tokyo Hilton opened in 1963 as Japan's first foreign-branded hotel; Kengo Kuma designed the 2010 tower, and artworks by Toko Shinoda from the old hotel still hang here.
Gardens with a history: Prime Minister Yamagata Aritomo had the garden of the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo laid out in 1878; after war damage more than 10,000 trees were replanted, and a three-story pagoda still stands there. In Takanawa, the garden of The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo once belonged to the Takeda Palace, with a Kannon hall and a bell tower from 1656. The Takanawa Hanakohro Tokyo lies in the same garden.
Film, geishas and an apartment house: the Park Hyatt Tokyo opened in 1994 on the upper floors of Kenzo Tange's Shinjuku Park Tower and became world-famous through Sofia Coppola's “Lost in Translation” (2003). In Kagurazaka, the Trunk House Tokyo lets you rent a former geisha training house of some 70 years, and The Kitano Hotel Tokyo carries on the Kitano Arms of 1964, an apartment hotel where politicians and artists lived for decades.
Michelin Keys recognize hotels, not restaurants. The top rating, three Michelin Keys, goes in Tokyo to the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo opposite Tokyo Station. Two Keys are held by The Capitol Hotel Tokyu next to Hie Shrine, the Aman Tokyo above the palace gardens and the Janu Tokyo in Azabudai Hills.
The Capitol Hotel Tokyu · NagatachoOne Key is held by 13 luxury hotels in Tokyo. Our tip: the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo with Mount Fuji views in Nihonbashi, The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho with its pool high above Kioicho and the Hotel New Otani Tokyo EXECUTIVE HOUSE ZEN, a quiet hotel-within-a-hotel with its own lounge.
Five stars in the Forbes Travel Guide go to ten hotels in the city. Our tip among them: the Palace Hotel Tokyo by the Imperial Palace, The Okura Tokyo in Toranomon and The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo above Roppongi. Four stars go to ten more, and the Forbes Travel Guide lists four hotels as Recommended.
Then there are the awards individual luxury hotels in Tokyo have won: the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards named the Palace Hotel Tokyo the best hotel in Tokyo in 2025 and 2026, the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo received the Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown in 2026, and The Tokyo Station Hotel came second among the top hotels in Japan in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards (UK edition).
Tokyo is vast, but trains and subways keep journeys short. So choose your luxury hotel in Tokyo by what you have planned – and by the station on your doorstep.
Shangri-La Tokyo · ChiyodaMarunouchi and Otemachi: if you want a 5-star hotel in Tokyo's city center by the Imperial Palace, this is where you stay, between the palace gardens and Tokyo Station. For the classic on the moat, we recommend the Palace Hotel Tokyo. Traveling by Shinkansen, book the Shangri-La Tokyo right at the station, with a welcome on the platform. Italian glamour on floors 40 to 45 comes with the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo opposite the station.
The Peninsula Tokyo · ChūōGinza, Nihonbashi and Hibiya: department stores, galleries and restaurants are on your doorstep. Our tip: the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo in Nihonbashi, directly connected to Mitsukoshimae subway station, The Peninsula Tokyo in Yurakucho on the edge of Ginza and the Imperial Hotel Tokyo opposite Hibiya Park.
Kioicho and Nagatacho: in the green government district between the Imperial Palace and Akasaka, you stay in peace. We recommend The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho on the upper floors of Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho, the Hotel New Otani Tokyo EXECUTIVE HOUSE ZEN as a hotel-within-a-hotel at the New Otani with its 400-year-old garden, and The Capitol Hotel Tokyu next to Hie Shrine, directly connected to two subway stations.
Roppongi, Toranomon and Akasaka: new high-rise districts, art museums and bars shape these neighborhoods. Our tip: The Okura Tokyo with the Okura Museum of Art on its grounds, The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo in Midtown Tower near Roppongi Station and the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills on floors 47 to 52 of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower.
Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ebisu: the west is home to nightlife, department stores and the big interchange stations. High above the Kabukicho entertainment district you stay at the Bellustar Tokyo, and on the top floors of Shinjuku Park Tower at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. In Shibuya we recommend the Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya, five minutes' walk from the famous Scramble Crossing.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Bunkyo and Kagurazaka: if you like it green and quiet, stay at the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo in the middle of its large Japanese garden. In the stone-paved lanes of Kagurazaka, one of the city's last geisha quarters, you rent the Trunk House Tokyo as a whole house.
On Tokyo Bay: Shiodome, Takeshiba and Shibaura: here you look out at the water and Tokyo Tower. The Conrad Tokyo is directly connected to Shimbashi Station and overlooks Hama-rikyu Gardens, the Fairmont Tokyo is six minutes' walk from Hamamatsucho Station, and the Mesm Tokyo on the Takeshiba waterfront has a digital piano in every room.
Takanawa and Shinagawa: around Shinagawa Station, from where the Keikyu Line reaches Haneda Airport in 11 to 14 minutes, lie large gardens. For a ryokan feel we recommend the Takanawa Hanakohro Tokyo with its 16 tatami suites. In the same garden with around 210 cherry trees, three minutes' walk from the station, lies The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo; above Takanawa Gateway Station you stay at the JW Marriott Tokyo.
In Tokyo, the address says little about the price. In the same building as the Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main from 195 € you find the Hotel New Otani Tokyo EXECUTIVE HOUSE ZEN from 404 €, with its own lounge and six food presentations a day. And in the same garden in Takanawa you can stay at The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo from 227 € or at the Takanawa Hanakohro Tokyo from 592 €. So choose your 5-star hotel in Tokyo by your plans: palace and station in Marunouchi, shopping in Ginza, art in Roppongi, nightlife in the west and gardens in the south.
Prices start at 138 € at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo and go up to 1,493 € at the Aman Tokyo; half of the hotels cost no more than 360 € a night. The Trunk House Tokyo is rented as a whole house for up to two guests, from 3,401 €. The table shows 25 luxury hotels from every neighborhood and price range. You will find all other hotels with their current price in the hotel list further down.

What is always included: daily breakfast, usually for two. At all but three hotels the benefits apply from the first night.
Breakfast is served, for example, at the Palace Hotel Tokyo in Grand Kitchen, at The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo in the Towers restaurant on the 45th floor and at the Aman Tokyo in Arva; at the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills it is included for one person.
The Prince Park Tower Tokyo · Shiba ParkUpgrade and check-in: all 39 hotels offer an upgrade, usually on arrival and subject to availability. At The Peninsula Tokyo and the five Hyatt hotels, such as the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills and the Park Hyatt Tokyo, it is confirmed at booking. InterContinental The Strings Tokyo guarantees late check-out at 2 p.m., and at The Peninsula Tokyo Peninsula Time applies: check-in from 6 a.m. and check-out until 10 p.m. if you share your times at least three days before arrival (subject to availability).
Hotel credit is worth a closer look. Most hotels add 100 US dollars, the Palace Hotel Tokyo and The Peninsula Tokyo 10,000 yen each. Book a suite at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo and you receive 200 US dollars, split equally between food and drink and the spa (not with all rates). At the Aman Tokyo, suites of two nights or more get another 100 US dollars, plus complimentary scheduled wellness classes.
Plus extras at individual luxury hotels in Tokyo: at The Peninsula Tokyo, domestic and international calls are free. From October 1, 2026, the Takanawa Hanakohro Tokyo takes guests staying two nights or more to Haneda Airport, Tokyo Station or Shinagawa by complimentary chauffeur service. At the Conrad Tokyo you earn double Hilton Honors points.
Points and status: 29 of the 39 luxury hotels in Tokyo belong to a loyalty program. Marriott Bonvoy has eight hotels, I Prefer and World of Hyatt five each, IHG One Rewards four and the Leaders Club three; ALL (Accor) has two, Hilton Honors and Shangri-La Golden Circle one each.
When it's most beautiful: in late March and early April the cherry trees blossom, for example in the garden of The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo with around 210 of them. In summer the garden pools open, and fireflies glow in the garden of the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. In autumn the gardens turn color, and on clear winter days you can see Mount Fuji from many high-rise hotels. Book early for cherry blossom season.
How long to stay: for a 5-star hotel in Tokyo we recommend four to five nights – for the Imperial Palace and Ginza, an evening in Roppongi or Shinjuku, a morning in the gardens and a day by the pool. If you like, split your stay: first near Tokyo Station, then by the bay or in a Takanawa garden.

The right location for your 5-star hotel in Tokyo depends on your plans: Marunouchi for the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station (our pick: Palace Hotel Tokyo), Ginza and Nihonbashi for shopping and dining (our pick: Mandarin Oriental Tokyo), Roppongi and Toranomon for art and evenings out (our pick: The Okura Tokyo) and Tokyo Bay for views of the water (our pick: Conrad Tokyo). In the west, around Shinjuku and Shibuya, you are close to the nightlife.
If you are looking for a 5-star hotel in Tokyo with children, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu is a good choice: it offers babysitting, and teenagers aged 13 to 17 may use the pool with their parents. The Shangri-La Tokyo also offers babysitting, and its pool is open to children from 4. The Imperial Hotel Tokyo opposite Hibiya Park and the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo with its large garden and set children's swimming hours offer babysitting too.
Pets are welcome at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu and at the Fairmont Tokyo, for example. The Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is especially well set up, with pet-friendly rooms and its own dog park in the garden.
Right on the moat opposite the palace gardens lies the Palace Hotel Tokyo, which holds five stars in the Forbes Travel Guide. Five Forbes stars also go to The Peninsula Tokyo in Yurakucho, overlooking the palace gardens, and to the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo opposite Tokyo Station. The Aman Tokyo in Otemachi sits above the palace gardens and holds four Forbes stars.
That depends on what you are looking for. For views and service in Nihonbashi we recommend the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, for classic elegance by the Imperial Palace the Palace Hotel Tokyo, and for peace in the government district The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho. If you want Japanese hospitality in a garden, stay at the Takanawa Hanakohro Tokyo with only 16 tatami suites.
