The Imperial is about location, location and location. It's simply impossible to find a place that is better located in Tokyo. And of course the name and history of the place carries with it a lot of prestige. Even though standards at this classic five-star are very high, there surely are better hotels in Tokyo. Having stayed here four times,... more

Purpose of the trip was business. I have actually stayed at this hotel a number of times in the past 3 years, but am only getting round to writing about it now. Usually stay 3-5 nights at the Imperial for business. Good central location in Ginza. 5 minute walking distance to department stores (eg. Mistukoshi and BIC camera). Palace across... more

We only stayed here two nights (business stay for my husband, leisure for me) but found the location good. Being in walking distance of the Imperial Palace and Ginza was great.

Been to Japan for five or six trips now. Heard about the Imperial Hotel, but had never tried it. I had to this time.

We ate at Nadaman-Applause-San. They serve you about the same food as Nadaman-chubo, the boxed-lunch retailer found in any major department stores throughout Tokyo. However,... more

Superfluous! I have nothing really to add but to reaffirm the comments made by so many people who have stayed at this hotel. Everything about this hotel is on a grand scale with the standards to match. I was extremely impressed with the service and the accommodation. I asked for a room change due to having been allocated a smoking... more

I stayed at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo for seven nights while in Tokyo for a vacation. It was a memorable experience and worth every penny (at least those spent on the room fee!). Check-in: Politeness of the highest order from check-in onwards. I had a team of staff carry my luggage to the room in the Tower along with... more
