The Best Hotels in Roppongi, Tokyo
Beneath the towering Roppongi Hills skyscraper, this buzzing corner of the Minato district in Tokyo pulses with shopping and art galleries by day and the best nightlife in Japan after dark. And, if you plan on dancing into the wee hours, then you’ll need somewhere pleasant to rest your head. Here are the best hotels in Roppongi that you can now book with Culture Trip.
1. Hotel New Otani Tokyo
Hotel
Fronted by an actual waterfall, Hotel New Otani is one of the more spectacular places to stay in Tokyo. Built to host hordes of incomers for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, it has 1,479 rooms in a variety of types and sizes, all with stunning views, an urban palette of greys and charcoals – and much more space than the average Japanese hotel. A smorgasbord of dining outlets makes it a no-brainer for foodies.
2. The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon
Hotel
Jutting out of the Roppongi landscape is the Tokyo EDITION. The abundant greenery of the lobby and bar provides a stark contrast to the 206 rooms and suites, which are decked in pale woods and creams and offer stunning views of one of the most urban skylines in the world. A fine selection of restaurants and bars (including the Tom Aikens-helmed Jade Room + Garden Terrace) make it a great destination for dining.
3. Mitsui Garden Hotel Roppongi Tokyo Premier
Hotel
Mitsui Garden offers a contemporary, design-forward stay in the middle of Roppongi. The hotel spans a variety of rooms and suites, but a linking thread is a thoughtful emphasis on bedding, with perks that range from custom-designed pillows to high-quality mattresses. You might need a good snooze, too – there are a stylish, low-lit onsite gym and an elegant bar lounge with picturesque cityscapes.
5. The Lively Azabujuban Tokyo
Hotel
As the name suggests, the Lively Azabujuban packs more flair than the average Tokyo hotel. This is evident from the lobby and bar, which seem to have plucked design influences ranging from the Art Deco movement to 1950s Manhattan. The 62 rooms (families should opt for the four-bed Lofts) are furnished in handsome shades of grey and feature high-quality Serta mattresses.
6. The Okura
Hotel
One of the most iconic hotels in Tokyo is the Okura. Since its renovation, it has something of a dual nature, combining the 2019-era Prestige Tower with the more traditional Japanese aesthetic of the Heritage Wing. A common thread is an emphasis on dining, with lauded outlets that serve French and Chinese cuisines, in addition to Japanese.
7. The Prince Park Tower Tokyo
Hotel
Seemingly a companion to the iconic Tokyo Tower is the Prince Park. Located in the middle of the eponymous green zone, rooms combine light coloured tones and vast windows, perfect for taking in the views. The in-house bakery has loyal fans, and the hotel also has a bowling alley. In particular, staff get positive feedback for their service, and they are happy to help you navigate the city.
8. Grand Hyatt Tokyo
Hotel
9. ANA InterContinental Tokyo
Hotel
10. Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo-Roppongi
Hotel
Less than a minute’s walk from Roppongi station, Sotetsu Fresa Inn is about as central as you can get in this neighbourhood. Guests of the 201 rooms enjoy free wifi throughout the hotel, a tasty breakfast at the in-house Suzucafe, laundry facilities and, of course, that enviable location.
11. The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo
Hotel
12. Act Hotel Roppongi
Hotel
The 68 guest rooms at this boutique hotel are a bargain for the comfort on offer. There is a gorgeous rooftop tea garden, spacious suites with living rooms, kitchenettes, and bathrooms with rain showers. Plus, there’s bespoke furniture by local designer Ostuka throughout the entire property.
13. Roppongi Hotel S
Hotel
14. Hotel Villa Fontaine

15. Candeo Hotels Tokyo Roppongi
Hotel
The Tokyo outlet of the Candeo chain comprises 149 guest rooms, all fitted with a spacious seating area and flat-screen televisions. There’s also a 24-hour front desk, a delicious breakfast buffet, laundry service, plus a spa and fitness centre. But, the real highlight is the array of sauna facilities − the hotel is home to both cold and warm baths, dry and mist sauna and an outdoor sky bath with views over Tokyo.
