Rough Guide "Rooms have nice Japanese design touches, such as shoji (paper screens) on the windows."
Fodor's "A short walk from the megalithic Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office, the Hilton is a particular favorite of Western business travelers." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Has many excellent facilities including an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi and rooftop tennis courts."
Time Out "The standard of service is high. For business travellers, the hotel offers five executive floors... one of few Tokyo hotels to have its own tennis courts." Full review

Daring guests can try the authentic washitsu rooms designed like those of a traditional ryokan with tatami mats on the floor and a separate living room; while others may choose just to take a peek before slumbering in their pillow-top bed.
