Concierge "The Imperial prides itself on its high standard of service, and is responding to the influx of foreign chains with a complete overhaul that will be finished by 2008."
Fodor's "Though not as fashionable or as spanking new as its neighbor, the Peninsula, the venerable Imperial can't be beat for traditional elegance." Full review
Michelin Guide "This hotel has been hosting overseas dignitaries since 1890 and its history reflects the ebb and flow of Japan’s modernisation."
DK Eyewitness "With a history dating from the 1890s, the Imperial Hotel enjoys unimpeachable credentials."

Star Service "The historic look is synonymous with the role the hotel has played in hosting dignitaries and important functions over the years, and locals revere its refined patina as a symbol of great pride." Full review

Frommer's "This ambitious hotel wows with a wide range of recreational and dining facilities, as well as technically advanced rooms that older hotels can only dream about." Full review

Ask for a room facing west for stunning views of Mt. Fuji.
Fodor's "Japanese refinement and a contemporary design come together perfectly at the Grand Hyatt—a tasteful and well-appointed hotel in the middle of... one of Tokyo's top entertainment areas." Full review
Lonely Planet "Architecturally open and bright despite its somewhat labyrinthine layout, the Grand Hyatt is warmly and gorgeously chic." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Luxurious rooms come with modern facilities. The blend of modern interior design and natural elements creates a tasteful ambience. Restaurants, a patisserie, and spa."
Condé Nast Traveler ""Beautiful and comfortable rooms" are contemporary in design, with high ceilings, light tones, and "wonderful toilets, and I'm not embarrassed to say that"." Full review
Time Out "Though it shares a celebrity buzz with its sister hotel the Park Hyatt, the effortlessly sleek Grand is pleasingly low-key." Full review

Odd-numbered rooms look toward Tokyo and Mori Towers while even-numbered rooms have views of Shinjuku, Shibuya and on clear days, Mount Fuji (best to request a higher floor facing west for that).
Travel + Leisure "Grands for their Rebecca beige limestone soaking tubs and Dornbracht rain-showers." Full review
