Travel + Leisure "The hotel is set in Shibuya's tallest skyscraper, just west of Harajuku." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Shibuya’s only high-end luxury hotel boasts huge rooms, stylish interiors, kaiseki restaurants, bars, a jazz club, and Noh Theater."

Time Out "Hoshinoya Tokyo is one of the capital's very few luxury ryokans...it promises to present a serious challenge to Tokyo's glut of luxury hotels, though a night's stay sure doesn't come cheap here." Full review
Wallpaper "Set among the straight-laced skyscrapers in the city’s financial district, the property might not be one the loftier hotels in Tokyo, but what it lacks in height it makes up for in clever design." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The city’s first luxury five-star traditional ryokan inn." Full review
Departures "It’s in its own 17-story building with 84 rooms. There are guest lounges on every floor and the top floor actually has a hot spring." Full review
Michelin Guide "The concept here is ‘a pagoda-like Japanese inn’ and there are just six guest rooms per floor." Full review
