Hotel New Otani Tokyo

Big cities are difficult. Where to stay that is central and maximises accessibility. For mine the west side of the Imperial Gardens is the preferred location. The New Otani is an old established Tokyo hotel in Akasaka. Tokyo does not have the boutique hotels of Europe. They are generally big and bland. But always clean efficient and well staffed. The New Otani is big. But its not bland. It is very good. We had a split stay in April staying for 4 nights at the Main Hotel and on returning to Tokyo another three nights at the Garden Tower. The rooms and beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms are small (they all are) but the water pressure and temperature was fantastic. Breakfast overlooking the gardens and waterfall was very good with a wide range of Japanese and western style breakfast food. The staff were all very helpful, professional, friendly and efficient. The location is also wonderful. The hotel is in a very smart commercial area with retails and 5 minutes away a restaurant precinct that offers an incredible array of food. The Metro is only 5 minutes away so that access to different parts of the city is easy. In summary a wonderful stay.

The room quite different one from another, amenities 100% suitable and available all the time when required, food at its restaurants completely fine in different plates and drinks, I can't complain at all.

This is a Hotel I will come back to stay. Spacious room and facing the garden. Staffs speak excellent English and all are very polite. Rooms are clean and tidy. Wifi speed is excellent! The king size bed is very comfy. The garden behind is a must to visit. It give you a zen kind of peace especially early in the morning.

the new otani has a fantastic garden and rose garden, it has a few restaurants in the garden. make sure u book the teppanyaki place to hv lunch. a very place. the rooms in the hotel is nicely spaced. main building rooms had been upgraded. easy access to the metro subways, less than 10mins walk away. it is also has a stop for airport limousine.

This hotel has several lobbies on different floors ( and really practical to meet somebody). The welcome is "raffinés" and warm . A lot of hostess will care of you. The rooms are not really updated and poor decoration . Bathrooms are enough if you are staying one night! Breakfast is better on high floor( with nice view on Tokyo landscape) than the large cafeteria on 6 th fl. The buffet are simple and don't propose so much choice. Only the fantastic garden where you need to have a walk is really different from other hotel, but not really to be visited for my next trip.
