Located across the street from the Imperial Palace and steps from the shopping capital of Ginza, the Peninsula Tokyo is a well-appointed base from which to explore this fascinating city.
EXPERIENCE
Tokyo's first freestanding hotel to be built since the mid-'90s, the Peninsula Tokyo showcases Japan's design heritage (and love of all things high-tech) with lots of understated flourishes and modern gadgetry.
Rooms may come with cordless phones (Skype compatible) that convert to mobiles, inbuilt flatscreen TVs in marble bathrooms that mute when the phone rings, and handy nail driers that enable expert manicures. But they're also spacious dens of relaxation thanks to a soothing palette of earthy browns and beiges and lots of textural elements, like a ceiling inset with woven cedar mat, a slated wooden headboard, and a lacquered desk. The Peninsula Tokyo's 314 spacious rooms provide wonderful views of the Palace, so be sure to book on a high floor.
Foodies will love the traditional fare offered at Hei Fung Terrace. Meanwhile the French-influenced eatery, Peter, affords gorgeous views of Tokyo's skyline. Don't miss the ultra-modern spa for a luxurious Ayurvedic body treatment.
