Why we recommend it
The Peninsula Tokyo stands on a prominent corner in Yurakucho, where the business district of Marunouchi meets the shopping streets of Ginza, and it looks across towards the Imperial Palace and its moats. It opened in 2007 as the Japanese flagship of the Hong Kong-based Peninsula group, which has a long reputation for formal, attentive service, and the Tokyo hotel pairs that tradition with contemporary Japanese design and a central position that few rivals can match.
Rooms are spacious for Tokyo and decorated in warm, modern tones, with technology controlled from bedside tablets, large bathrooms and, in many cases, views over the palace gardens, Hibiya Park or the lights of Ginza. Suites on the upper floors offer panoramic outlooks across the city. The hotel's fleet of signature cars and its attention to small details, such as nail dryers in dressing areas, are part of the group's style.
Dining is spread across several venues. The Lobby is the hotel's social heart, serving all-day dining and afternoon tea under a high ceiling, while Peter, on the top floor, offers dining and cocktails with sweeping night views. Hei Fung Terrace serves Cantonese cooking. The Peninsula Spa provides treatments and wellness facilities, including an indoor pool and a fitness centre, and the Peninsula Boutique sells the group's well-known chocolates and teas.
Rates sit at the top end of the Tokyo market, so it suits a special trip, a honeymoon or a business stay where convenience matters as much as luxury. Families are well looked after. The location makes it possible to walk to many sights, which saves time in a city where journeys can be long. Book directly through the official website for the full range of room types and seasonal offers.
Hibiya Station on the Hibiya, Chiyoda and Toei Mita lines connects to the hotel's basement, and JR Yurakucho Station is a short walk, with Tokyo Station one stop away. Ginza's department stores, the Kabuki-za theatre, Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace grounds are all within walking distance, and the Imperial Palace East Gardens can be reached on foot in around twenty minutes.
