Hoshinoya Tokyo
Shrouded by a metal-latticed kimono-patterned exterior, Hoshinoya, a Japanese brand with five resorts, adds diversity to the hotel scene with this luxury ryokan opened in July 2016, which Tokyo is mostly without. It’s in its own 17-story building with 84 rooms. There are guest lounges on every floor and the top floor actually has a hot spring. (Rooms, from $780)

Peninsula Tokyo
The Peninsula's unassuming hallways do not do justice to its accommodations, which have soaring ceilings, sexy lighting, burnt-orange carpeting, and glamorous dressing rooms (most have seated vanities, and even nail dryers).
Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo
The service at the Mandarin Oriental is beyond attentive—and that’s saying a lot in Tokyo.
Imperial Hotel
Hibiya, a business district adjacent to Marunouchi and Ginza, has the first Western-style hotel in Japan: the 931-room Imperial Hotel, which celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2016.

The hotel, built more than 50 years ago, attracted mostly a business clientele until 2009, when it was transformed into a bona fide luxury property with a renovation.

On the east side of Tokyo Station, the Shangri-La Hotel occupies the top 11 floors of the 37-story Marunouchi Trust Tower Main and has a Chinese theme throughout.
