Keio Plaza, Tokyo
Excellent - ££££
Hit the heights at the luxurious Keio Plaza, an elegant hotel offering breathtaking panoramic views in Tokyo’s skyscraper district.
If you really want to get to know Tokyo, head up to the top floors of its skyscrapers. One of the first high-rise hotels in Japan, the Keio Plaza is the perfect place to experience Tokyo as a vertical city, with views across the Shinjuku skyline.
This is a great location for sightseeing, with the Shinjuku Train Station just a short walk away. The Meiji Jingu Shrine, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building are also within strolling distance.
But where the Keio Plaza really stands out, apart from its impressive 47 floors and two tower buildings, is its food offering. It has no fewer than 21 dining options, so you can taste your way around Japan and around the world too.
Facilities
The Keio Plaza has more than 1,400 rooms to choose from, each with free Wi-Fi, minibar, flatscreen TV, Bluetooth speakers, air purifiers, complimentary toiletries and Japanese-style yukata robes. Fancy an in-room massage? Just call down to the front desk and they’ll be happy to arrange it.
Now for the food. There are actually too many specialist restaurants to list here, from sushi and soba to teppan-yaki and tempura. Take your pick from French, Italian, Korean or Chinese depending on your mood, then finish the evening in the sake bar.
There’s also a traditional Japanese tea room, karaoke bar, sky lounge, fitness centre, boutique, beauty salon, seasonal outdoor pool and much, much more. The Keio Plaza is a mini city all in itself.
Why we love it
The Keio Plaza is an iconic Tokyo landmark. In fact, if you’re a fan of Godzilla movies, you’ll have spotted it in several feature films over the decades. It’s a joy to stay here and drink in the cityscape (and a delicious cocktail) at its fabulous sky lounge. And of course, the food offering is out of this world.
