Park Hotel Tokyo

“Amazing Views Central Location”

Overall, it is a great choice. This is a great central location within walking distance of Shimbashi station, Ginza, and restaurants.

Overall, it is a great choice. This is a great central location within walking distance of Shimbashi station, Ginza, and restaurants. The staff was friendly and accommodating and most spoke a good degree of English. The concierges were excellent at providing advice and directions for us each day. Check-in was efficient and the 25th floor lobby has amazing views looking toward Mt. Fuji. The day we arrived it was clear enough to see Mt. Fuji as the backdrop of the city. We ate at the hotel restaurant for breakfast, drinks, and dinner several times. The breakfast buffet was convenient and good for the price. This hotel is themed around art, so if you love art, you will love all of the various exhibits and artwork in the lobby and on each floor. The hotel has a Family Mart convenience store on the lower level which is convenient for exchanging money and grabbing bottled water and snacks on the go. They also have a free coffee/hot cocoa and water station in the lobby and free bottled water in your room. One of the restaurants (Japanese) was closed during our stay. I was traveling with my wife and adult daughter so we needed a room to accommodate all three of us. I reserved the room with two beds plus one extra bed and we were able to push the two beds together for a larger bed for my wife and I. This was a spacious room by Tokyo standards at 355 square feet, with the third bed in its own section of the room. The room was up to date and clean. We were on the 33rd floor and it afforded an amazing view of the city looking toward the Tokyo Sky Tree.

“If you travel light and don't plan to stay in your room too much an option ”

I've been returning to this hotel over the last 20 years and experienced its heydays with lots of business travellers (including me, back then) and the more recent phase, transitioning to a more tourist oriented hotel.

I've been returning to this hotel over the last 20 years and experienced its heydays with lots of business travellers (including me, back then) and the more recent phase, transitioning to a more tourist oriented hotel. The rooms are small, always were, but compared to more recently built hotels simply tiny. If you travel with hand luggage only and plan to stay a couple of nights, it can be a good choice. If you bring two suitcases each, I recommend looking elsewhere. Get an 'artist room', as they are most likely to be the renovated ones (new carpet, new unit bath). Views from lobby and rooms are spectacular - but you'll hear constant street noise, it's a busy area. There is a bar - some staff members are still there since the hotel opened and recognise me over all these years - but it has been scaled down over the recent years. Still decent to get a cocktail or two, but it shares the room with the casual restaurant (¥3000+ Pizza). While I still return, I would only recommend this hotel if you feel ok with a tiny room and the room rate is reasonable. Otherwise I recommend looking at a more recently built hotel.

“5 years since previous stay”

We have stayed at The Park Hotel Tokyo many times. Beware so many similar named hotels in Tokyo. Taxi’s drivers sometimes visit many different Park Hotels!

We have stayed at The Park Hotel Tokyo many times. Beware so many similar named hotels in Tokyo. Taxi’s drivers sometimes visit many different Park Hotels! It had been 5 years since our previous stay at Park Hotel Tokyo Some things had changed regrettably, mostly for the worse. But let’s start with the positives. We were granted early check in which made such a difference after our overnight trip, and we slept from arrival until the normal check in time. This early check in was much appreciated. The Park Hotel Tokyo used to have the bar and breakfast area “in the middle” where all the chairs and sofas are on 25th floor reception. Now it’s split into two breakfast rooms, one may double as a sushi restaurant where we had eaten on past trips but not this time. The old charming Scotch Whisky Society bar was gone and now one of the breakfast rooms doubles as a more traditional bar (with a very nice view) which we visited many times. Breakfast was decent, buffet plus table service. Included in our tariff. We were in one of the brightly decorated artist rooms, cats themed which we loved. But even by Japanese standards we felt this room was small with virtually no luggage space (we had a lot) and generally pretty cramped. Previous stays many years ago we must have always been on the Tokyo Tower side of the hotel because this time the Shimbashi side was quite noisy with frequent trains in and out of that massive station Staff generally were very good. We had some laundry done a couple of times that was very efficient. Bit of an unnecessary palaver at check out as my wife was accused of trying to leave without paying as I was settling the bill at the counter The (Latvian?) concierge Lena or Leva was excellent,she booked a restaurant for us in what sounded to me like flawless Japanese All in all The Park Hotel Tokyo may not have been how we remembered it. It’s a good hotel, excellent location for Tokyo Big Sight where we have an annual conference. But I’m afraid it was better before the new layout in my opinion. The Park Hotel could still be a good Tokyo choice but we may try something with larger rooms and perhaps a different location for future Tokyo visits

“Nice hotel but let down by bedrooms”

Room comfortable with everything you need but there is no fresh air so room air is stale. If you are a light sleeper or battling jet lag stay somewhere else.

Room comfortable with everything you need but there is no fresh air so room air is stale. If you are a light sleeper or battling jet lag stay somewhere else. The trains are very noisy which run most of the night apart from a couple of hours between approx 1am and 4.30am. Breakfast is good and cooked very well with a variety of choices. Location is by Shimbashi Station and on the top of the Media Centre (25th floor up). There is free water, tea/coffee etc in the lobby.
