Conrad Tokyo

Conrad Tokyo is a luxury hotel that ranked No.1 in TripAdvisor’s category such as “Japan’s most popular hotels and ryokan among foreigners.” With a concept combining modern luxury and Japanese aesthetics, its pool—motifed after sumi-e ink painting—is especially fantastical. Rooms are among the largest in Tokyo: even standard rooms are 48㎡, with 3-meter-high ceilings for an expansive feel. Located on the upper floors of the Tokyo Shiodome Building, views are superb: Bay View rooms overlook the lush Hamarikyu Gardens and beyond them Tokyo Bay, the Rainbow Bridge, and more; City rooms offer dramatic night views of skyscrapers. The hotel has four restaurants plus bars and lounges, where you can enjoy distinctive dishes crafted by chefs. It supports a wide range of needs, from meals to afternoon tea to a nightcap. Access: about a 1-minute walk from Shiodome Station (Toei Oedo Line / Yurikamome), or about a 7-minute walk from Shinbashi Station (JR / Toei Asakusa Line / Tokyo Metro Ginza Line).
