The Okura Tokyo

The hotel is beautiful, well-maintained and a short walking-distance to several metro stations. The staff was friendly and communicates well in English. The room was spacious and nicely furnished, with all the utilities one can think of. I slept very well during the night as the room is soundproof.

I booked the upper floor king room with a bath view. The room was absolutely spectacular. It has amazing views of Tokyo and Tokyo Tower as well (you could even see Tokyo Tower when you were in the bath!). The staff were incredibly friendly and courteous and the room was very clean. They also did a turndown service each night where they will tidy up the room and leave origami on your bed and some chocolates - a wonderful touch. The location is good, taxis can take you wherever you want and they have many parked outside waiting for customers. Alternatively you can take the train which is a short 10 minute walk, but be prepared to walk uphill when you return if you get off at Toranomon station.

This hotel is exquisite. We stayed in a junior suite in the heritage section. The room was beautiful, there was a steam room that functioned well, large bed, beautiful views, extremely comfortable to spend the day in. The spa and gym were very good. Well equipped gym, very good steam and sauna, large pool and great shiatsu massage. The staff were helpful, housekeeping excellent, delicious chocolates at bedtime, free mini bar and it goes on.

Location was in a very quiet part of Tokyo, somewhat far from railway stations, and the entrance to the hotel was difficult to find when on foot - clearly most guests are driven here... The staff were exceptional, helpful, always available, and did what they said they would. Clearly a great asset to the hotel. Our room on L35 was beautiful, tranquil and very highly specced. A haven from the busy city.

There is currently an influx of new upmarket hotels in Tokyo and some of which we have tried . The Okura has an amazing timeless elegant style with an abundance of space , rooms are simple spacious and timeless maintained to a true 5 Star experience As they say if it ain’t broken don’t fix it .
