The Prince Park Tower Tokyo

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo occupies a modern, glass-fronted, 35-story high-rise on the edge of Shiba Park with views of the iconic Tokyo Tower. The lobby area is bright and airy, with high ceilings and an inner atrium providing lots of natural light during the daytime. Public spaces are sleek and contemporary, done up in monochromatic tones of gray, white, and black floor tiles, light gray marble walls, black counter tops, and black and white armchairs. The hotel has a business-like atmosphere and the lobby area and restaurants can get busy at peak hours. The property is popular with couples and families visiting Tokyo as tourists, and it attracts many business travelers as well.

It's near Tokyo Tower, which is visible from some rooms, and right by the Zojyoji Temple.

Guest rooms at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo are spacious by Japanese standards, with a minimum size of 301 square feet. Their best features are the large windows offering views of the Tokyo skyline and providing lots of natural light. The lower-category rooms are decorated in a neutral style that seems a bit austere for a luxury hotel. Floors are covered in tan wall-to-wall carpeting and paired with cream-colored walls and utilitarian furniture. Apart from a sole framed art piece over the bed, there are few decorative accents. Luxury bathrooms make up for the drab decor: done up in black and gray marble tiles, they're spacious and well-equipped with whirlpool bathtubs and separate showers. There are electronic controls for the toilets and for controlling the water temperature of the showers and bathtubs. All rooms also have digital flat-screen TVs, minibars stocked with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, coffee- and tea-making facilities, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Some upper-category rooms have traditional tatami floors and Japanese gardens. Premium Club Rooms are located on the highest floors and enjoy panoramic views, as well as access to the Premium Club Lounge -- where breakfast and Champagne are free, plus guests get free access to the spa, pool, and fitness center. 

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo has a dizzying number of features, including seven on-site restaurants offering a variety of cuisines and specialties. Several serve Japanese cuisine and specialize in yakitori, tempura, sushi, or teppanyaki, while other options include a Chinese restaurant and one serving Western cuisine. Other food and beverage outlets include a bakery, bar, cafe, and lounge on the 33rd floor. The spa has a traditional Japanese bathhouse with hot springs, a fitness center, and swimming pool. All of these features command a hefty extra fee, however, though guests staying in Premium Club Rooms get free access. The hotel also has a 12-lane bowling alley and pool tables with an adjacent bar. The business center is open 24-hours and has printers, copy machines, fax, and courier service. The property also has a convention hall, several banquet rooms, and a ballroom that can accommodate 3,000 people. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to and from Hamamatsucho train station, as well as to Narita and Haneda airports. On-site parking is charged an extra fee.
