Located in the heart of the city, the Palace Hotel Tokyo offers a location where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the four seasons. The Palace Hotel Tokyo is not only a luxurious hotel, but also a dignified hotel with a Japanese sense of beauty and decorum. In the 2024 edition of the Forbes Travel Guide, the Palace Hotel Tokyo received the highest rating of five stars in both the hotel and spa categories (the first Japanese hotel to receive five stars in both categories). The concierge is highly competent, and the attentive service will allow you to relax and enjoy your stay. The balance of Japanese, French, and Chinese cuisine in the restaurants is also excellent.
