Hoshinoya Tokyo oozes with the tranquility which defines Japan's ryokan tradition

Cost Per Night: £ £ £

Hoshinoya Tokyo is concluded within Tokyo's bustling financial district, conveniently close to Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace. Despite its imposing exterior, this 17-story hotel exudes an atmosphere of tranquillity, intimacy, and delightful surprises – all deeply rooted in the traditions of Japanese hospitality.

Every floor is a private realm, exclusively accessible to its occupants, complete with a dedicated team ready to cater to their every requirement and uphold the timeless customs cherished for centuries in traditional Japanese inns, known as ryokans.

At first glance, the ryokan presents itself as a tall black monolith seamlessly blending with its surroundings. However, the dark exterior reveals an elegant lattice adorned with leaf-like patterns, known as komon, delicately veiling the ryokan.

Guests at Hoshinoya Tokyo can anticipate rickshaw rides, the opportunity to don kimonos for a tea ceremony, and the artful presentation of culinary delights — a harmonious fusion of the traditional and the contemporary.
