Hotel New Otani Tokyo Garden Tower

Huge landmark hotel in great location. We stayed in the Garden Tower and had fabulous views of Tokyo. Very close to a busy restaurant street with food marts, outside of the hotel complex, and only a few minutes walk to the subway. A grand dame, and while not brand new, our twin made up room was spacious for Tokyo and the bathroom was more than adequate, and everything was well maintained. We had breakfast in the ground level central restaurant with views of the stunning gardens and it was busy, but well run. The food wasn't amazing but good enough, and we filled up before heading out each day. The hotel is a destination in itself, with locals on weekends having high teas and wedding photos in the gardens etc. Loved everything about it, the old fashioned service, the stunning gardens, taxis lined up at main entrance, the subway very close by - used both. It's located in an upmarket part of Tokyo and very easy to access sites and other areas by subway or taxis.

The room was a reasonable size, with a good bathroom. Nice having the garden to stroll in.

I really enjoyed the service and staff as they were some of the nicest people imaginable. The rooms were comfy and quite roomy, we could easily open two suitcases without crowding the area. It is also super clean and the park is fantastic for som chill out time. The restaurants looked really nice, but we did not have time to try them. The area is also perfect as you have a 3-4 minute walk to the subway, and from there everywhere is easily accessible.

We spent the last two nights of our trip at the New Otani. This hotel has ol fashioned elegance and was fun to explore. The staff are professional and helpful.This hotel had a great range of facilities and the most beautiful garden that we saw over our entire trip to Japan.

The Tower and its adjacent garden are simply beautiful. The spacious breakfast dining room looks out over the wonderful garden and there are many shops as well as restaurants in the Tower including a Trader Vic's which was a very fun experience. Our room was high up affording an interesting view. Our exploration of the garden was lovely and its view always a welcome accompaniment to the varied buffet breakfast. The location near the Akasaka-Mitsuke station where four lines go through, was quite convenient. The main street just downhill from the Tower had plenty of restaurants both Japanese and western. The hotel was within walking distance of the Akasaka State Guest house and its amazing park grounds. We went to the perfectly round St. Ignatius Church for Christmas mass where people of many nations gathered.
