Picolo recommends · Hotel in Tokyo, Japan
The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo
Tokyo Tower glows outside the window, and on a clear winter morning Mount Fuji appears on the horizon.
From this height the city stops being a maze and becomes a map. Tokyo Tower stands out in red and white, and when the air is clear, the snowy cone of Mount Fuji rises far to the west.
The hotel takes the highest levels of the tower at Tokyo Midtown. Below sit shops, a green park and a respected design museum, and the restaurants of Roppongi are on the doorstep.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo
We chose it for the view. Few hotel rooms in Tokyo look this far, and the classic luxury inside matches it. Museum lovers have the art and design venues of Roppongi within easy reach.
It is one of the costlier stays in the city. Roppongi's nightlife is loud around street level, though you will not notice it up here. Travellers looking for old Tokyo should base themselves elsewhere.
What you get
- Views of Tokyo Tower and Mount Fuji
- Classic luxury service
- Park at the foot of the tower
- Roppongi restaurants on the doorstep
- Rooms on the tower's top floors
