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.

Rough Guide "Its rooms are far from Tokyo's grandest, but there are Art Deco touches and a friendly welcome - and oxygen and supposedly refreshing negative ions are pumped around the premises."
Frommer's "This is a delightfully old-fashioned, unpretentious (some might say dowdy) hotel with character." Full review
i
Avoid the cheaper, more boring rooms in the 1954 annex.
Concierge "Service is thoughtful and attentive—the staff even promises to pump fresh oxygen into your room."
Insight Guides "Five minutes southwest of JR Ochanomizu Station, this secluded hotel has genuine period charm."
Lonely Planet "This grand old place from the 1930s exudes personality and charm, with antique wooden furniture and a wood-panelled lounge." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An old favorite with writers, this prewar Art Deco hotel exudes charm and character."
Time Out "Not many hotels in Tokyo can be said to exude genuine charm, so the Hilltop deserves some credit for retaining its old-fashioned traditions." Full review
Frommer's "This delightfully old-fashioned, unpretentious (some might say dowdy) relic qualifies as historic in contemporary Tokyo" Full review
