The Best Tokyo Hotels For Your 2025 Japanese Adventure (June 2025)

Situated just off Chuo Street, one of the city's largest upscale entertainment and shopping destinations, and home to luxury brand boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants, The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza is a unique fusion of old and new.

With 86 rooms available, including ten lavishly appointed suites, consider this your quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Hungry? Feast your way through the hotel's four dining venues, including the gram-worthy Lobby Bar (Japan’s first punch-focused cocktail bar), as well as a modern brasserie, and a rooftop bar (read: epic views). There’s also a 24-hour state-of-the-art gym powered by Technogym. 

The Ginza neighbourhood is much loved for a reason—it's brimming with upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment, and the Celestine Ginza brings glamour to your doorstep without burning a hole in your pocket. If you're a cityscape person, you'll love the sparkling view of the Ginza skyline and Tokyo Tower. Did we mention how primo this location is? Just a breezy 10-minute walk is all you need to get to the iconic Tokyo Tower.

If you fancy exploring the city, Shimbashi station is just around the corner (your gateway to Tokyo and beyond), plus you'll find the Giant Ghibli Clock, a rustic izakaya filled with the salarymen, and sake heaven at nearby Sake Plaza. 

Why limit yourself to a visit to Japan's flagship MUJI store when you can elevate your experience with a stay at the brand's hotel? Perched directly above the world's largest MUJI store, this refined and carefully curated hotel provides an oasis of minimalist tranquillity amidst the bustling Ginza shopping district.

Each room has been designed in MUJI's signature aesthetic and adorned with MUJI goods—from bedding to toiletries—all available for you to shop post-stay. Beyond the room, the hotel invites you to unwind in its in-house cafe and communal reading room, where Japanese breakfasts, as well as coffee and snacks are on offer.  

A hotel with a chocolate-making workshop? Sign us up! As well as catering for the sweet-toothed travellers among us, Hamacho Hotel offers some seriously nice digs, for an affordable price, in central Tokyo. Here you can choose your own adventure—there’s simple but chic, light-filled doubles all the way to the terrace suite with its own private bar, huge tub and outdoor spaces. 

Head downstairs to Session for local bites and live tunes, or stop by the aforementioned in-house chocolate shop to watch confections come to life—then taste your way through them. Beat the food coma with a stroll to nearby attractions, the Masago Monument and the Revival Monument of Japanese Traditional Chinese Medicine, all less than a six-minute walk away.  

No need to worry about rainy days at Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier. It is conveniently connected to the underground Shin-Nihon station and a one-minute stroll from Mitsukoshimae station. The Sky Tree view will have you feeling on top of the world, and if you're a fan of chill vibes and good coffee, the cute cafe on the first floor will become your favourite hangout spot during your stay.

The hood of Nihonbashi is brimming with epic things to do—discover its rich Edo history at the Nihonbashi Information Centre, shop till you drop at COREDO Muromachi, or sample mouth-watering cuisines at the local restaurants. 

Staying at Hotel Chizanso is like a vacation within a vacation. Wander through an ever-changing but always beautiful garden and explore landmarks from different regions of Japan right on the hotel grounds. Get lost amongst Kamakura stone lanterns, Kyoto's Shiratama Inari Shrine, or a historic pagoda from Hiroshima that has stood the test of time for 600 years.

The staff? Old-school hospitality is their game. Every inch of your stay will be nothing short of phenomenal. In short, Hotel Chizanso is your oasis. You could spend your whole Tokyo trip here and leave feeling like you've seen it all. 

This 2018 Good Design Gold Award winner possesses a concept of ‘the whole town is your hotel', also known as 'town-yado'. The guest experience starts with a friendly reception at a cultural complex, setting the tone for a stay that's all about immersing yourself in local life. Step back in time as you trace the footprints of the past in Yanaka, a little-known neighbourhood that miraculously survived the bombing of Tokyo in WWII.

Fancy a relaxing soak before or after a long day? Grab a complimentary hotel voucher and head to Yanaka's Sentō for a traditional public bath experience. It's a beautiful way to embrace the city and live like a local.

Staying here allows you to visit Asakusa’s landmarks outside the usual busy hours. You can take your time to soak in the details and history without feeling rushed. If you’re travelling with groups of friends or family, OMO3 has got you covered with their spacious Deluxe Fourth Room, comfortable to fit up to four people.

Inspired by the Zen of tea houses, the ryokan strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort.

This is your chance. And you can't miss the open-air rooftop bath that you can reserve all to yourself. 

With a daring and inventive design, this aptly named establishment excels in tailoring your individual experience. The elevated beds and vibrant rooms not only maximise the compact space, but also infuse just the right amount of playfulness.

The hotel's spirited design ethos extends to its onsite cafe and bar, where daily breakfast, drinks, and coffee are on demand.

With its doorstep literally at the Shinjuku Station's New South Gate, you'll be darting around the city like a local in no time. Jetting in from Narita Airport? No problem.

As night falls, you're smack in the middle of a buzzing nightlife scene, perfect for experiencing Tokyo after dark. And when you're ready to take on Harajuku and Shibuya, easy transport links make it simple. Hotel Century Southern Tower gives you a pass to all the action in Tokyo.

You’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve left Tokyo altogether when staying at these serene digs. Perched six levels above ground, TRUNK feels a world away from the buzz of nearby Shibuya. With clusters of lush greenery and an infinity pool that you’ll want to sink into the moment you lay eyes on it, this sweet spot is the epitome of holiday living. There are just 25 rooms in the boutique hotel, all decked out in curves, bespoke furniture and a soft palette that promotes serious relaxation. 

Downstairs, you can nosh on wood-fired pizza at their Italian trattoria, but don’t be surprised if you spend most of your time poolside, where you can get cocktails delivered to your lounge, then watch the sunset while getting cosy around the sunken fire pit. Should you want to leave your nirvana, the hotel offers free bikes to explore the hood.  

Nestled among the vibrant energy of bustling Shinjuku, the Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo stands out as a prime choice for those seeking a lavish experience without breaking the bank. While the rooms may lean towards the smaller side compared to their Western counterparts, they more than make up for it with their plush beds, oversized windows, and top-notch array of Japanese-style amenities.

Located almost directly above Shinagawa Station, The Strings InterContinental offers a haven for discerning travellers seeking a strategic escape from the bustling tourist hubs of Shinjuku or Shibuya.
