About
Built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics on the Shiba Park site, the Tokyo Prince's direct sightline to Tokyo Tower has become one of the city's most photographed hotel views, the outdoor pool terrace and tower-lit rooms giving it a retro-metropolitan atmosphere that the newer Minato luxury hotels struggle to replicate.
Nestled in the serene Shibakōen area of Minato City, the Tokyo Prince Hotel offers a delightful blend of nostalgia and modern comfort. With a commendable rating of 4.1 from over 5,300 reviews, this hotel is cherished for its charming atmosphere and stunning views, particularly of the iconic Tokyo Tower, which can be admired directly from many of its rooms. Guests have praised the hotel for its friendly service and the convenience of having a konbini (convenience store) in the basement, ensuring that all essentials are just a few steps away. Although the hotel carries a vintage charm reflective of its 1960 origins, many visitors find it to be a fantastic base for exploring Tokyo. The location is perfect for both relaxation and city adventures, with easy access to nearby train stations and local attractions. Guests have enjoyed the variety of dining options available within the hotel, including a well-stocked bar and a breakfast buffet that caters to diverse palates. Reviews highlight the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, with some noting that while certain wings may feel dated, the overall experience remains satisfying. The dedicated staff and the hotel's array of amenities, from the beer garden to the convenient luggage shipping service, make for a hassle-free stay. For travelers seeking a blend of tradition and practicality in the heart of Tokyo, the Tokyo Prince Hotel stands out as a memorable choice.

“Customer service was excellent, staff were very friendly and always ready to help. I love how there’s a convenience store right downstairs for snacks.
