Best Tokyo Boutique Hotels

Tokyo has finally caught up with the boutique hotel trend and stylish new hotels are popping up all over the city. Here is my list of the best of boutique hotels in Tokyo, all personally inspected.

[Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten]

If you want a change from cookie-cutter hotels, boutique hotels are the way to go. You’ll find them all over Tokyo but particularly in the fashionable districts like Shibuya, Aoyama and Azabujuban. Here are my favorites.

[Ryumeikan guest room]

Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten (Ochanomizu)

(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
With style to spare, this superb boutique hotel in Ochanomizu is one of the best hotels in the city, full stop. It’s small, intimate, quiet and the service is the epitome of gracious Japanese hospitality.

[Four Seasons deluxe one-bedroom suite]

Four Seasons Hotel at Marunouchi (Tokyo Station Area)

Attentive service, great views, incredible location in the Tokyo Station Area and beautiful common areas make this a great place to stay.

[Hotel Indigo outdoor lounge]

Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya (Shibuya)

With a central Shibuya location, attentive staff, great boutique style and comfortable rooms, the Indigo is one of the best hotels in Shibuya.

[Aoyama Grand corner twin suite]

The Aoyama Grand is a beautiful and stylish hotel in an uncrowded but convenient part of Tokyo.

[The Lively lounge]

A short walk south of Roppongi, the Lively is a beautiful island of style in a quiet area.
