Fodor's "Perched on a slope above Shibuya's chaos, the Cerulean Tower has a cavernous yet bustling lobby filled with plenty of attentive, English-speaking staffers." Full review
Afar Magazine "Interiors mix Western and Japanese aesthetics. Simple, unfussy guest rooms have calming colors; some have unobstructed views of Mount Fuji in the distance." Full review
