The Peninsula Tokyo

  • Family pick
  • Pool
  • Large rooms
  • Park views
  • Near Ginza

Park on one side, Ginza on the other: a grand hotel with roomy suites and the metro right beneath your feet.

Look out of the window and the city turns green: the trees of Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace gardens fill the view, a rare sight from a Tokyo hotel room.

The Peninsula stands on the seam between Marunouchi and Ginza. The rooms are larger than the local norm, the bathrooms are generous, and the staff notice the small things before you ask.

Picolo’s verdict

Why we chose The Peninsula Tokyo

We picked it for families because space is the scarcest luxury in Tokyo, and here you get it. The subway runs straight into the basement, so tired legs and rainy days are easy to manage.

This is a grand hotel with grand hotel prices, and the mood is polished rather than relaxed. If you want local character or a quiet side street, other addresses suit you better.

What you get

  • Rooms large by Tokyo standards
  • Indoor pool
  • Windows over Hibiya Park
  • Attentive, long-standing service
  • Direct subway access below the hotel
