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."

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
