Shinjuku
Granbell Hotel is a large, multi-story upscale property with 380 rooms
and suites, situated in the middle of the vibrant nightlife district
of Shinjuku. Open since 2013, the vibe here is contemporary and hip,
with designer interiors, vibrant decorative murals and artwork,
and a trendy rooftop bar. Rooms feature luxurious bathrooms, and
come with espresso machines, iPod docks,
kitchenettes, and outdoor showers, but lower-priced rooms can be cramped. On-site features include a restaurant, cafe,
bar, art gallery, and free Wi-Fi throughout, but there's no pool,
spa, or fitness center. For an upscale property with all three that's in the same neighborhood, travelers could consider the RIHGA Royal Hotel Tokyo.
