Palace Hotel Tokyo is only an 8-minute walk from Tokyo Station - the nucleus of Japan. In its vicinity are popular destinations such as the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Ginza, and Nihonbashi (meaning Japan Bridge), a historical and famous bridge in Japan.

Palace Hotel Tokyo was first built in 1961 in preparation for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games and was newly reopened in 2012. The 23-storey-high building no doubt provides you with everything you need from an accommodation – a comfortable room, fantastic services, and convenience. There is also a restaurant that serves Japanese, French and Chinese cuisines – you need not step out of the hotel to look for dinner.

However, despite its fantastic location, travelling around all the tourist sites may be a difficult task – walking is tiring and public transport insidiously empties the wallet. Palace Hotel Tokyo has the perfect solution for you – cycle! The hotel offers bicycle rentals that will allow you to explore Tokyo comfortably. Afternoon tea is also served within the lobby lounge after your journey around Tokyo.

4. Fun to stay – Granbell Hotel Shibuya (from USD 209)

Like the other hotels, Granbell Hotel Shibuya is located conveniently within Tokyo city. Just a 3-minute walk from Shibuya Station, the entrance of Granbell Hotel Shibuya is just a huge brown door, unlike the automatic glass entrances of others. It aims to replicate a hideout in the city. The Granbell Hotel series, found in Shibuya, Akasaka and Shinjuku, are all based on a “fun to stay” concept which aims to provide guests with a relaxing yet enjoyable time in the hotel.

Granbell Hotel Shibuya is designed based on three factors - minimalist, pop, and artistic. These elements are evident in the rooms. Vibrant yet relaxing, the Granbell Hotel Shibuya is almost like a piece of artwork in itself. Various suites are also available in the hotel, including the Feminine Suite, Penthouse Suite and Business Suite. They all have a different concept. For example, the walls glow brightly when you turn off the lights in the Business Suite (as shown in the photo).

You can enjoy a free breakfast at Granbell Hotel Shibuya, with Japanese food, Western food, and toasted bread. There is only 1 suite room of each type, so make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment!
