Why we recommend it
Hotel Gracery Shinjuku occupies the Shinjuku Toho Building, built on the site of the former Koma Theater in Kabukicho, and it is best known for the giant Godzilla head that peers over the building and serves as the hotel's landmark. Behind the novelty is a practical, mid-range hotel with 970 compact rooms, which makes it one of the easier places in Shinjuku to find availability.
The location is the main selling point: Kabukicho's restaurants and bars, Golden Gai and the Omoide Yokocho alleys are all on foot, and Shinjuku Station, the busiest rail hub in the city, is a short walk away. The streets outside stay lively late into the night, which suits night owls. Check-in runs from 14:00 until 02:00 and check-out is at 11:00, handy for late arrivals.
