Reservar se You want the absolute best view of the Imperial Palace and a 'floating in the clouds' sanctuary above Tokyo's business district.
Por Que As Pessoas Adoram
- Floor-to-ceiling views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and Mount Fuji (on clear days)
- The 20-meter indoor pool with metallic mirror walls and mist chairs
- Dead-silent rooms with motorized blackout shades that actually work
Resumo Rápido: It’s a sterile but spectacular glass fortress where you pay a premium to look down on the rest of Tokyo.
Revisado por @thezaisers: I spent my honeymoon here and it was pure magic. Waking up to the Imperial Palace gardens below felt surreal. The staff even hand-wrote a welcome message on our window! If you want the best bathtub view in Tokyo, this is it.

Reality check
Service at breakfast often buckles under pressure, with staff described as 'overwhelmed' and 'rushed' during peak hours.
- You crave a modern, hyper-clean sanctuary away from the grit of Shinjuku
- You are a swimmer—the pool is a destination in itself
- You need a seamless business base connected directly to 5 subway lines
Limpeza e Manutenção
9.8
- Housekeeping: Ninja-like. Twice daily service is standard and they organize your cords with velcro ties.
- Bathroom hygiene: Surgical. Not a speck of mold in the grout. The stone surfaces are polished to a mirror finish.
- Maintenance: Flawless. The hotel opened in 2020 and still feels brand new.
- Linens & towels: Heavy, plush, and blindingly white. No fraying edges.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of a custom seasonal fragrance (often citrus/wood); rooms are neutral/fresh.

Antes de reservar
Bom saber

- Direct underground access to Otemachi Station (C4/C5 exits) means you never have to walk in the rain.
O que levar
- Swim cap (mandatory for the pool, though they lend them)
- Gym gear (the fitness center view is arguably the best in Tokyo)
- Smart casual clothes (the lobby bar Virtù is a fashion show at night)

FAQ e dicas ocultas
Tudo o que você realmente quer saber antes de reservar.
Is the breakfast worth the price?
Debatable. At ~5,000-8,000 JPY, the spread is high quality (great pastries), but the crowded room kills the zen vibe. Go early or order room service.
Can I see Mount Fuji?
Yes, but only from West-facing (Imperial Garden) rooms and only on clear, crisp days (usually winter mornings).
Is the pool free for guests?
Yes, the 20m indoor pool is free, but access is sometimes limited to 60-minute slots during busy weekends.
How far is it from Tokyo Station?
It's a 10-15 minute walk underground, or a $10 taxi ride. Very close.
Is it kid-friendly?
Surprisingly yes. They provide kid-sized robes, slippers, and a welcome toy, plus the pool allows kids (with supervision).
Does the hotel have a club lounge?
No. There is no executive club lounge at this property.
