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."

Michelin Guide "Maple and ginkgo trees grow thick inside the 5,950m2 Japanese garden, and the chirping of birds around the water creates the feeling of being in an urban oasis."
DK Eyewitness "Located in a very green and expensive district, this offshoot of the chain’s famous Kyoto prototype was designed by the renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki."
Time Out "Even Tokyo has a few quiet corners, and the Sheraton Miyako is located in one of them: the verdant, largely residential neighbourhood of Shirokanedai." Full review

"Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo's large Japanese garden makes for a surprising oasis... balconies and a cafe with a large outdoor terrace, where guests can get relief from city noise." Full review
