Park Hotel Tokyo

- THE VIEW! of all the hotels to stay at in Shimbashi, this is the one for the unobstructed view of the city skyline and Mount Fuji in the distance. I tried my luck booking this over New Years for my partner and I and we got super lucky that on New Years Day 2024 we woke up to perfect bluebird skies and Mount Fuji in the distance. It was absolutely unforgettable. - Our room as mentioned had a giant window to Tokyo and the beds and pillow were suitably comfortable. A decent sized bathtub was welcome to soak in after a long days walking. There is also a comfortable chair with an ottoman but the window ledge itself has a soft cushion to sit on too watch the world below go by. - The hotel itself is a 4 star but has all the appearances of a plush 5 star hotel. The lobby on the 25 floor has floor to ceiling walls looking out to greater Tokyo from Shimbashi, with all the tallest buildings in Tokyo visible as well as Tokyo tower. - As an art appreciator, the plethora of curated works around the hotel is a welcome addition, only a shame that when I booked none of the art themed rooms were available. - As part of the Shimbashi business district the building is well connected to the metro with konbini in the basement levels as well as some good stores. The walk to the JR line is longer than it seems, so be wary of that if you're trying to maximise your JR Pass. - There are coin operated washing machines and dryer available should that be needed. - Even though most things were shut because of new years, we still found plenty of places to dine out at around the Shimbashi area.

Train station was on B1 of elevator..super convenient and family mart was downstairs with a heap of restaurant and shopping options. The views were spectacular from our triple corner room (level 34 - the highest) and also from the hotel lobby (could see Mt Fuji on a clear day). Staff were exceptionally polite and helpful and the art exhibition through out the hotel was awesome too. Rooms were roomy for Japan comparisons.

Park Hotel is a classy, art-driven hotel at the heart of Ginza. You pay for the location, the view, the service, and the art if you stay in one of their special rooms. I usually stay here during my last couple of nights every time I travel to the city because of easy access to everything (and of course, the view at the end of the day). In terms of cost-per-luxury, this is a very good deal before jumping into the next cost bracket.

First loved the check in floor. It was gorgeous and loved the art installation. The room was beautiful and it was cleaned everyday. The amenities where excellent such as washing your clothes and having dinner, complementary water and coffee. What can I say I would definitely stay there again.

Really stylish art-loving hotel on the top floors of a modern skyscraper overlooking Tokyo Bay. Wonderful views from clean and functional room, and wonderful view of city centre from Reception. Helpful staff and free freshly machine-made coffee at any time of the day. Location was above the underground passages leading to Shimbashi station, so within tube-travel distance of almost anywhere in Tokyo, even if the immediate surroundings are notable only for the delightful and historic Hamarikyu Gardens.
