Rough Guide "This very swanky new addition to Tokyo's increasingly crowded luxury hotel scene offers an unbeatable location."
Concierge "The big draw is its location across the street from the Imperial Palace and a short stroll from the center of Ginza."
i
There are 314 guest rooms going up to the 24th floor, but be sure to nab a high one and be specific about a palace view, or you could end up staring at office buildings.

Frommer's "Primarily a business hotel, it has limited facilities -- you are clearly paying for location here." Full review

Be sure to pick up the hotel's sightseeing leaflets at the concierge's desk, which give information on the city's top attractions, opening hours, and how to reach them from the hotel.
DK Eyewitness "This top-of-the-range business hotel close to the Kabuki-za Theater is now a popular wedding reception venue."
Star Service "Just south of the city's busiest shopping area, 200 m southwest of the Higashi-Ginza subway station, this property, built in 1987, is behind Matsuzakaya department store and near the Kabuki theater." Full review
i
The staff is attentive and well-trained, and management goes so far as to publish tourist leaflets to major attractions, which are given away free at the concierge desk (although placing special requests in advance may be difficult as the minimal staff is quite busy).

"It's a big, largely impersonal hotel, but it's comprehensive in scope with a Japanese restaurant, American restaurant, bars, full-scale gym, and small shops." Full review
