Ginza Hotels

Convenience, efficiency and grace mark the ANA Hotel Tokyo. It is just a short walk from the entertainment centers of Roppongi and Akasaka, close to the central government offices, but secluded enough to be away from the flow of Tokyo's commuter rush. Gourmet dining is offered in six restaurants with both Western and Asian cuisine. Views of the Imperial Palace, Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Bay can be seen from various vantage points in the building.

Recently renovated to blend modern European elegance with a distinctly Oriental ambiance, the hotel is located near the famous Kabuki-za Theater and the main intersection of the Ginza district. Rooms come with all the amenities one would expect of a stylish hotel. Ginza Tokyu Hotel offers babysitting services along with beauty salon, concierge service and business facilities.

Conveniently located adjacent to Tokyo City Air Terminal, the Royal Park Hotel offers soft pastel colored rooms, each equipped with a full range of amenities as listed below. The spacious lobby has natural light, and features an enchanting modern Japanese-style waterfall and fountain.

Formerly known as the Hotel Atamiso, the Hotel Alcyone is listed among the "historic and memorable" hotels of Tokyo by the Japan National Tourist Organization. The decor is strictly 1970s and a bit gaudy. Rooms, however, are clean and comfortable and available with either Western-type beds and bath, or Japanese-style tatami mats with futon bedding. The Kabuki-za theater is just around the corner and the Tsukiji Fish Market is only five minutes away on foot.

With the flavor of a traditional Japanese guesthouse the Sumisho Hotel is conveniently located between Tokyo Station and the Tokyo City Air Terminal. Each room comes comfortably equipped. The Japanese National Tourist Office lists the Sumisho as one of the historic and memorable hotels of Tokyo.

For travelers using the domestic air services of Haneda Airport, this hotel is perfectly situated in the Takanawa district. Cozy, small and friendly, the Hotel Tokyo offers comfort as well as convenience in its 32 western and five Japanese-style rooms. Free parking is available for up to 25 vehicles.

Situated in the fabulous Ginza shopping and entertainment district, the Ginza Nikko Hotel has been serving guests since 1959 and provides comfortable accommodations at reasonable rates. It offers very easy access to other parts of Tokyo by subway and rail as well. Although no room service is available, you will find the very cozy Canary Bar and Lounge on the property, plus a French-influenced cafe-restaurant that serves full meals.

Located in the Ueno district, Hotel Pine Hill provides an inexpensive base for both sightseeing and business. Ueno Park, museums, art galleries and shopping streets are attractions near at hand, and mass transit makes access to Tokyo's business districts easy and convenient. All rooms are Western style, somewhat small, with private bath.

From the minute you step in the vaulted marble lobby at Toshi Center Hotel you can feel yourself relax. Greenery and gentle light add to the calm atmosphere. It is easy to forget you are just steps away from bustling Akasaka and the heart of Tokyo. Rooms on top floors offer striking views of the city. Special Japanese-style rooms can accommodate up to four guests and provide excellent value for families, although the Center is mainly considered a business hotel.

You will find the Prince Park Tower Tokyo in the bustling and vibrant Shiba Park. A mix of modern amenities and pretty natural environment, this hotel is a boon especially for business travelers. With more than a dozen meeting spaces serviced with banquet and catering facilities, you can conduct your business in style. Those here for play can make use of the on-site beauty salon, fitness center, spa, a host of restaurants and the 24-hour room service. The 673 guest rooms and suites are like those of any other modern hotel fit with decent amenities and comfortable.

Since 1890, the Imperial hotel has catered to royalty, statesmen, fabled celebrities and the leaders of international commerce. Luxury is the keyword. The 1923 building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was lost in a fire, but a vestige of it survives in the art-deco Old Imperial Bar on the mezzanine level. Rooms are superb, with private writing desks, three telephones, individual environment control systems, remote control TV with bedside consoles and a spaciousness rarely encountered in Tokyo hotels. The staff can greet guests in five languages. Ginza is just behind the hotel, which faces Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace grounds.

The architecture of Tokyo Station dates back to the pre-War era, and the hotel, with its wood and velvet décor, looks and feels like a vestige of the past. Rooms are clean and comfortable with high ceilings. The convenience of being right inside Tokyo Station is a big plus for early morning travelers. Ten different restaurants and bars are featured, offering various cuisines from French and Italian to Japanese and Chinese. The oak and brick interiors of the bars are not to be missed.

Clean and comfortable accommodations in the heart of Tokyo's Jimbocho book district are provided by the Sakura Hotel. The bilingual staff is friendly and helpful and the front desk is open around the clock. All the rooms are either singles, or doubles and quadruples with bunk beds. The clientèle is very mixed, from students to company reps to budget overseas travelers. Many return time and time again.

Located in the Bangkok Bank Building, just a stone's throw from Hibiya Park, this functional business hotel offers clean and convenient accommodations. Ginza, the Imperial Palace, and the Marunouchi business district are close at hand. Service is friendly and complimentary breakfast is served just off the fourth floor lobby lounge each morning. The marble interior gives an atmosphere of class well beyond the hotel's moderate pricing. There is a small cafe lounge on the lobby floor.

A cut above most business hotels in the Asakusa area, Asakusa Central Hotel offers small but comfortable rooms, each with TV and telephone. Furnishings are modest but clean. The hotel's location on Asakusa's main street makes it convenient for sightseeing at nearby Asakusa Kannon Temple and within 15 minutes subway ride from the city's financial districts. The staff speak English and are quite friendly. Amenities are sparse, as expected in an overnight business hotel.
