The Gate Hotel Tokyo by HULIC

Sitting in a prime sightseeing locale between Ginza, Hibiya and Yurakucho, The Gate Hotel Tokyo is a crisp, contemporary property with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows. You can see Tokyo’s spectacular skyline from the restaurants, top-floor gym, lobby lounge and open-air terrace.

The rooms and suites feature design details that draw the city indoors. Custom-made carpets echo the lights of Ginza, and pendant lighting takes inspiration from the surrounding buildings. We especially recommend The Gate suite, the hotel’s top-floor accommodation: expect 785 square feet of space, a private outdoor terrace facing the Shiodome district and an outdoor whirlpool bath.

The hotel has three dining and drinking spaces. Anchor Tokyo offers all-day dining, while the lobby lounge is ideal for relaxed drinks. And at Teppanyaki Yasuma on the 13th floor, select wagyu and seafood are cooked in front of you while you enjoy the views over Ginza and Yurakucho.

Outside, you’re a short walk from galleries, department stores and some of the city’s most exclusive boutiques. You’re well-placed to watch a traditional kabuki performance at the Kabuki-za Theatre, and the tree-lined pathways of Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace gardens are also close by. Several Tokyo Metro stations are within a few minutes’ walk for when you want to venture further afield.
