Park Hotel Tokyo is based on the ART concept – Atrium, Restaurant, and Travel. Located in the Shiodome Media Tower, Park Hotel Tokyo has an art lounge on the 25th storey that gives you a magnificent view of the whole Tokyo city, Tokyo Tower, and, if you are lucky, Mount Fuji. There are also galleries within the hotel that have exhibitions based on the seasons.

Park Hotel Tokyo is famous for the "artist rooms" that are decorated by renowned artists and interior designers. Each room is designed based on a different concept, such as Japanese festivals, sumo wrestling, signs of the zodiac, and dragons. One of the concept rooms is the “Artist Room Queen Geisha Goldfish”, as seen in the photo. The surreal room has goldfish painted over the walls and ceilings.

Park Hotel Tokyo is a popular choice among tourists – over 90% of the users are foreigners.

Palace Hotel Tokyo is only an 8-minute walk from Tokyo Station, the nucleus of Japan. In its vicinity are popular destinations such as the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Ginza, and Nihonbashi (meaning Japan Bridge), a historical and famous bridge in Japan.

Palace Hotel Tokyo was first built in 1961 in preparation for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games and was newly reopened in 2012. The 23-storey-high building no doubt provides you with everything you need from an accommodation – a comfortable room, fantastic services, and convenience. There is also a restaurant that serves Japanese, French and Chinese cuisines – you need not step out of the hotel to look for dinner.

However, despite its fantastic location, travelling around all the tourist sites may be a difficult task – walking is tiring and public transport insidiously empties the wallet. Palace Hotel Tokyo has the perfect solution for you – cycle! The hotel offers bicycle rentals that will allow you to explore the Tokyo area comfortably. Afternoon tea is also served within the lobby lounge after your journey around Tokyo.
