Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi
1–11–1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 100-6277, JapanWhy We Like It
Because this Four Seasons is small, it is able to put a premium on service unlike other top-rated hotels. Everyone here will know your name and offer to assist in every way possible – that includes their uber-gifted concierges. There’s no pool, but the spa is wonderful, the restaurant tasty, and the onsen delightful. Location-wise, the hotel is ideal as it's next door to Tokyo Station and only minutes away from some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and shopping areas.
Fodor's Expert Review
Even though it’s the smallest Four Seasons in the world, the hotel still has a giant reputation – and it’s well-earned. Due to its size, the service here is incredibly personal and all of the staff will refer to you by name, which is a nice touch. Rooms are very spacious, the restaurant/bar delightful, and the spa is otherworldly (though small as well). Centrally located and near major transpo hubs, this little gem will have you singing big praises.
Tip If you call or email in advance, the hotel offers a complimentary greeting service. A rep from the hotel will meet you at the Tokyo Station platform and escort you directly to the property.
