Like Moses just back from the mountain, we’re here to tell you that we have seen the Peninsula Tokyo, and it is good. Actually, good is a bit of an understatement. This hotel, let’s not fool ourselves, is enormously expensive — but it’s as close to worth it as any luxury hotel we’ve ever seen. It’s still perhaps the sort of experience that’s best had on someone else’s dime, but even if you’re footing the bill it’s quite difficult to imagine coming away disappointed.
While most big Tokyo hotels occupy the upper floors of mixed-use skyscrapers, the Peninsula is purpose-built, with its lobby on the ground floor, just like a proper hotel. The location, in 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, plus free wireless internet access, which let’s be honest here, it would be insulting to be billed for when you’re paying these kinds of rates. Not that that stops most high-end hotels from adding it on to your bill anyway.
Simply put, it’s the five-star hotel the way it ought to be. Particularly unmissable is the 24th-floor restaurant, as glamorous a dining setting as any in Tokyo, with views that have to be seen to be believed. Pop down to the ESPA spa for a treatment, and have room service delivered through a hatch in the wall (for when answering the door is too much to ask) — it can’t get much better.

Great rooms and location
Stayed January 2009
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
The location: one of the best places to be in Tokyo. Within walking distance of Ginza and Marunouchi. The room (Park View): very spacious and light. The dressing room: huge, with its own valet box for the delivery of newspapers, dry cleaning, etc. The bathroom: immaculate, with a flat-screen TV built into the wall and all controls accessible from the bath. The gadgets: mobile phone (so you can receive calls wherever you are in Tokyo), fax/copier/printer, Lavazza espresso maker, enormous TV, automatic controls for the curtains, and even a nail dryer! The pool: not too busy, with lots of beds and a selection of magazines to browse through if you're not in the mood for exercising. The staff: very friendly and always helpful. Restaurants: Peter (on the 24th floor) had a great selection of wines and a dinner menu that was excellent AND reasonably priced. The views were great, as well.I Disliked
The breakfast was disappointing. The bacon and eggs were a bit on the plasticy side. Stick to the fresh fruit, cereals and pastries. The changing rooms for the spa area were a bit cramped, and you might find yourself waiting in a queue to use the showers. The TV: the in-room entertainment system was incredibly slow and fiddly to use. Changing channels was a frustrating experience at times.
Japanese Perfection
Stayed July 2008
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
When you take a great global brand like Peninsula and you add on top the particular Japanese expertise for aesthetic and service, then truly you are in hotel heaven. Hibiya is increasingly exciting as well, with many more shops and restaurants. The subway station is accessible from the basement of the hotel making cab free commuting easy, fast and inexpensive. I am lucky enough to travel frequently and stay in many hotels, and this is way up on the list of experiences you have to have. You can see a lot of detail photos of the room at my Japan photoset on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/drbrett/sets/641583/I Disliked
I am struggling to find anything to complain about.2445 user(s) found this review helpful
My new favorite in Tokyo
Stayed July 2008
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
I didn't think I could be swayed from the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku, but after three nights here I have a new favorite Tokyo hotel. The staff, service and overall feel/aesthetic were exceptional. The room (a superior) was the perfect size and incorporated technology extremely well without being overbearing. I've never had the option to adjust the humidity (dry to wet) of the ac, or to dial up BBC radio one via streaming audio through the touch of a button. Also, robotic curtains never seem to get old. I also loved the stainless steel (and idiot-proof) espresso machine and all of the other subtle touches that make the Peninsula a standout brand. In terms of location, it was incredibly convenient. The Hibya line will connect you to Roppongi (and the fish market for your early morning sushi cravings) while the Ginza line will get you to Aoyama, Omotesando and Shibuya for some shopping. Also, within quick walking distance is Ginza and the newly developed Marunouchi and Tokyo station.I Disliked
The one thing that I disliked was the check-in. For a hotel of this caliber, it seemed the space devoted to the process could get incredibly crowded at peak times. Also slightly awkward was the orientation of the restaurant around the lobby. Both are minor complaints and should in no way dissuade you from booking yourself a few nights. -Colin Nagy2639 user(s) found this review helpful

We had a deluxe room with a view of the Imperial Palace grounds and the business district in Maronouchi. The hotel is built over the Hibuya metro station so transit access was excellent. You may walk or run around Hibuya park or around the Imperial Palace property. Our room was very well designed, a large dressig room with exquisite built-ins, a luxurious bath with soaking tub, shower, two vanities, and state of the art lighting, music and television. We never heard a sound in the hotel, the acoustics were extraordinary. The room had a sitting area, desk, minibar and espresso machine (hidden again in well-designed built-in cabinets) and small dining table, all well thought and and executed. The lighting, draperies and shades were all motorized and the elecronic lighting and audio options were state-of-the art. the interiors were contemporary and had a modern luxuriously asian sensibility. The staff and concierge were very helpful and courteous. The concierge provided tickets for us on the bullet train to Kyoto and reservatons at a wonderful, current restaurant in Roppongi.I Disliked
Beyond leaving, the only other dislike was the meal and drink prices were astronomical, but no different than those at any other luxury hotel in Tokyo. The rooms were actually a bargain.2711 user(s) found this review helpful
The Peninsula Tokyo: Tokyo's Best
Stayed June 2008
Overall rating: Excellent
I Liked
The rooms are amazing: the most high-tech and sophisticated. Electronic curtain, LCD TV, TV in bathroom, fax machine, are all standard. But personal touches like lavazza coffee machine, sensorized phone & remote control, and personal mobile phone are great features! Not to mention the electric closet whose lid opens up the moment you step in the toilet compartment! This is the best rooms to be found anywhere in Japan. Mandarin Oriental Tokyo comes very close second, but not to the extent of the details provided at the Pen. Great location: very quiet fronting the Hibiya Park, but only 3 minutes walk to the shopping mecca of Ginza. Subway entry is directly near the hotel. Great service: Mrs. Sanchiko (lobby Manager) will make you completely at home, very personable service; and receptionist to the bellboy and concierge will do their best to accommodate your needs, including finding a sold out ticket for the Chanel Mobile Art exhibition that I inquired. Absolutely fantastic stay. In comparison to other hotels that I've stayed in Tokyo, I will say: Best Room and amenities: Peninsula Best Service: Mandarin Oriental Best View: Park Hyatt Tokyo Best Location: Peninsula and Grand Hyatt at Roppongi HillsI Disliked
Very minor, but I think the Lobby is too small for the size of the hotel (314 rooms), so during check out time / check in time at noon, it's very hectic.2683 user(s) found this review helpful
