Fab Views From Your Tokyo Hotel Room
Posted by Marlon on Jul 23, 2009
I read in a guidebook once that Tokyo was like having a date with someone unattractive – it looks much better in the dark! And although there are many areas which are undoubtedly beautiful (like the gardens, the Imperial palace and temples), the city in the daytime can be a concrete jungle in multiple shades of gray.
At night, however, it is an entirely different story as Tokyo can light up like no other city in the world. And the higher up you are, the better the view. When choosing a hotel in Tokyo it pays to do your research and find a room with a great view. Think Scarlett Johannson in Lost in Translation (she stayed at the Park Hyatt). There are a number of hotels in Tokyo which offer great views, whether what you are looking for is a neon-lit city view, a serene garden view, Mount Fuji or a picturesque temple.
The Ritz-Carlton (pictured above) is one luxury hotel in Tokyo’s Minato-ku area with stellar views of Tokyo Tower, as is the Conrad, which has panoramic views over the stylish Ginza area. If you have the younger family members with you though, they might prefer the Hilton hotel in Tokyo Bay, which have lovely views of what else- Tokyo Disneyland!
Ritz Carlton Osaka

Looking for the largest guest rooms in Japan? Better check out Ritz-Carlton Osaka. It is situated in Nishi-Umeda, Osaka’s business and shopping district. The hotel is known for its unbeatable personal service and European style elegance while they reflect on panoramic vistas from Atop Umeda’s tallest building. Ritz-Carlton is the only hotel in Osaka that combines continental elegance with a touch of Japanese Tradition despite its very updated modern facilities for business and treasure travelers. A cousin of mine went there three times already because he enjoys staying there. He even claims that he dreams of residing in Ritz Carlton Osaka LOL.
Four Seasons Marunouchi Tokyo

Four Seasons Marunouchi is located in the Marunouchi Central Business District and is adjacent to the Tokyo Station. Four Seasons offers the visitors a classic setting within the landmark glass-clad Tower of the prestigious Pacific Century Place. Four Seasons is a quiet, luxurious haven of just 57 spacious guest rooms and suites. The place is quiet, sophisticated and is less crowded since it has only 57 guest rooms and suites. You can really avail your privacy here. Four seasons is ultramodern. What made me say that? They have polished minimalist decor to plasma TVs, egg-shaped bathtubs, an elite spa and gourmet dining.
