Make a reservation at Peninsula Tokyo

The Peninsula Tokyo is a hotel located at Yurakucho, Marunouchi, is unique, adjoining the Imperial Gardens, which makes for impressive views during the daytime and the rare (for Tokyo) sight of complete darkness at night. You’re close by to the Ginza shopping district, but slightly removed from it all, and public transportation is no problem — though as long as you’re living it up, there’s a fleet of BMWs and Rolls-Royces at guests’ disposal.

The look is a bit on the conservative side, but that doesn’t mean dull. It’s quite a bit livelier and more inspired than the typical luxury fare, contemporary and a bit timeless, avoiding trendiness today so that it won’t look dated tomorrow.

Along with stunning views, the rooms come with all the high-tech conveniences and low-tech creature comforts you’d expect from a top-flight hotel. Simply put, it’s the five-star hotel the way it should to be. Particularly  is the 24th-floor restaurant, as glamorous a dining setting as any in Tokyo, with views that have to be seen to be believed.
