The hype
Travelers are blown away by the garden and the sheer scale of amenities, but often note the decor feels 'classic' (read: slightly old-fashioned) rather than modern chic.
Смело бронируйте, если You want a massive, historic 'mini-city' resort experience with a stunning 400-year-old Japanese garden, and you don't mind being slightly removed from the neon chaos.
Краткий обзор: It's a glitzy, sprawling 1964 Olympic-era beast that feels like a James Bond set—impressive and convenient, but expect some dated corners and a lot of walking.
Подтверждено @shelovswine: I stayed at the New Otani and was blown away by the 400-year-old garden right on the property. The Hinoki Suite smelled amazing, and having a private waterfall view in the middle of Tokyo felt surreal. It’s my favorite escape in the city.

You might be charged for things you expect to be free, like the nice gym or the indoor pool, and the location requires a short walk or taxi to get to the 'cool' neighborhoods.
“I would appreciate a renovated room in 'The Main' building, ideally a Shin-Edo type or a high floor facing the Japanese Garden. Please avoid rooms near the elevator banks.”
Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.
It's complicated. The outdoor 'Garden Pool' is often free for guests during summer (check your specific plan), but the indoor pool/spa complex charges ~¥5,000 per visit.
Book 'The Main'. It's the flagship wing with better renovations. The 'Garden Tower' is a tier below in quality.
Yes, Akasaka-Mitsuke station is a 3-5 minute walk across the bridge. It's a major hub with Ginza and Marunouchi lines.
Yes, the garden is open to the public, but staying gives you the ability to stroll it in the quiet early morning.
Usually not in the base rate. It's expensive (¥4,000+) but the SATSUKI buffet is legendary for its variety.
Yes, there are FamilyMart and 7-Eleven locations within the complex and just across the bridge.
The 'SATSUKI' restaurant has 'Super Melon Shortcake' that costs over $15 a slice—it's famous and worth it.
You can access the garden directly from the lobby floor; go at night for a beautifully lit, empty stroll.
There is a hidden 'Rose Garden' on the rooftop of the Red Rose Garden (seasonal access for club members/special guests).
