About
Situated in the lush greenery of Shiba Park, this luxury hotel offers some of the most dramatic, unobstructed views of Tokyo Tower in the city. Guests can expect spacious, refined rooms, exceptional dining across seven on-site restaurants, and premium wellness facilities including natural hot spring baths. It is an ideal urban sanctuary for travelers seeking a sophisticated, scenic base in central Tokyo.
What Japanese guides note
The property sits directly inside Shiba Park and adjacent to Zōjō-ji, placing it within protected municipal green space where building heights and sightlines are strictly regulated. Only 263 of the hotel's 603 guest rooms face Tokyo Tower, meaning that travelers prioritizing tower views must explicitly select a tower-view room type at booking. Use of the basement natural hot spring and pool incurs an additional fee for regular room guests and enforces an adult-only age requirement.

Frequently asked
How do you reach the hotel from JR Hamamatsucho Station?
A free circular shuttle bus runs between Hamamatsucho Station and the hotel lobby entrance from morning until night, requiring no reservation. The bus stop is located near the red postal box outside Hamamatsucho's North Exit. Walking takes approximately 12 minutes through Shiba Park.
Does every guest room have a view of Tokyo Tower?
No. Out of more than 600 rooms in the tower, only 263 feature direct views of Tokyo Tower. Other rooms look out over Shiba Park, the hotel gardens, or toward Tokyo Bay and the Shinagawa skyline, so tower-facing categories must be booked deliberately.
Can children use the hotel's natural hot spring and swimming pool?
No. The Spa & Fitness facility on basement level 2—which houses the indoor 25-meter pool, natural hot spring bath, and sauna—strictly restricts entry to individuals aged 20 and over. Families traveling with minors cannot access the pool or spa, though the basement bowling center allows all ages.
Are people with tattoos allowed in the onsen or pool?
No. The hotel strictly enforces a blanket prohibition on tattoos and body art inside the basement Spa & Fitness facilities, encompassing both the natural onsen and the indoor pool. Guests with tattoos cannot enter these communal wellness areas, regardless of room tier or club-floor booking.
What kind of water is used in the hotel onsen?
The basement spa is supplied by genuine thermal water drawn from 1,600 meters underground within the Shiba Park grounds. It is categorized as a sodium-chloride strong salt spring, which retains body heat effectively and is traditionally utilized for relieving joint stiffness and muscle fatigue.
