"The New York influence is evident at Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, but the hotel’s stylish boutique vibe makes the ambiance feel unique and fun for visitors who are looking for a reliable, high-end place to stay. The decor ties in notes from both Japanese and American culture, a unique and memorable combination. An added bonus: Many of the rooms have park views of either Yoyogi Park or Shinjuku Central Park. The hotel’s location is ideal if you’re open to a wide range of nightlife experiences – whether you’re looking for an upscale cocktail bar or a more casual experience that includes popping into the tiny and quaint bars in Golden Gai. Golden Gai is a particularly unique little area you should experience if you’re visiting Tokyo for the first time. Get lost in the area’s small streets as you navigate the bars and mingle with other excited visitors." - Alexis Benveniste
"For luxury laced with an edgy vibe, the Manhattan-meets-Tokyo feel shines through interiors inspired by New York’s eclectic fashion and art scene while channeling the kinetic energy of a central Shinjuku location. Eye-catching artworks are showcased throughout, and minimalist guestrooms pop with playful color. Social connections are encouraged via a nightly social hour with complimentary drinks and nibbles, while active types can hit the well-equipped gym or borrow a bicycle to explore nearby Yoyogi Park. Pet lovers get a warm welcome too, with one pet permitted per two people." - Louise George Kittaka
"This stylish boutique hotel wears its New York influence on its sleeve, even as it finds itself at the heart of one of the Japanese capital’s hippest districts. The interiors respectfully weave together the two threads of classical Japanese design and edgy Manhattan boutique-chic, the comforts are impressive, and many rooms have views of Yoyogi Park or Shinjuku Central Park." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Stylish and New York–influenced while set in one of the capital’s hippest districts, this boutique blends classical Japanese design with edgy Manhattan boutique-chic, delivers impressive comforts, and offers many rooms with views of Yoyogi Park or Shinjuku Central Park." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Why book? Great service and prim rooms make this a strong pick when you want the amenities of a high-end hotel in a major global city, but cringe at a four-digit price tag. Set the scene Off the anonymous streets of Shinjuku is a hangout attracting locals and international visitors into the small-but-social dining spaces. A hero during the pandemic, the Kimpton leaned into its pet-friendly policy and has become the go-to hangout for dog owners, and because it’s Tokyo, these postage stamp-size pooches are perfectly preened and behaved (you may even see a teacup pig as you’re brunching on your bacon!) The backstory IHG’s Kimpton hotels have their sights set on hoisting the perception of the brand up into the luxury stratosphere, with a bevy of new hotel openings in Asia including this highly anticipated Tokyo outpost. With reasonable room rates relative to its luxury foes, the Kimpton Tokyo Shinjuku remains a standout in our midrange price bracket for offering cut-above service. Is it a serious competitor against legendary luxury brands? No, but with a much smaller footprint, it’s absolutely not trying to be—carving out an interstitial reputation instead, and hoping to capture wealthy travelers with little interest in spending tons of time in their rooms while in town. Rooms If this is your first time in Tokyo, you’ll find the rooms to be surprisingly small, but we promise you: there’s much, much smaller in Japan’s capital. Large windows and blonde wood accents help create the feeling of more space—suites are kept so spic and span you’d swear you were the first person stay in them. Food & drink It seems rather antithetical to have a New York themed dining concept on site not only in Tokyo—one of the best food cities on the planet—but next door to the Park Hyatt Tokyo, which has the world-famous New York Bar. But then you realize that perhaps the food and beverage options are pointed outward, for locals to stop by and consume. One meal you should absolutely try as a visiting guest is the breakfast—a delectable multi-course adventure worth carving out extra time in the morning before painting the town red. Neighborhood The Shinjuku location isn’t a favorite for everyone, but morning joggers will love being close to the forested grounds of Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park. Service Some of the best English spoken by hotel staff in Tokyo; a huge plus for Japan newbies who are finding their footing upon arrival." - Brandon Presser
