5 Best Hotels in Ginza, Tokyo

The faux-stone exterior that attempts to replicate 20th-century Europe might seem cheesy, but this hotel is a true Ginza bargain. In keeping with the theme, rooms are outfitted with dark-wood floors, powder-white linens, and curtains tied with tassels, though free in-room internet and heated toilet seats are nice contemporary touches. The Escale restaurant is French, but this European slant isn't just for the hotel guests; the in-house wedding chapel can be busy on weekends and holidays.

Situated in the heart of Ginza, this hotel is a chic place to unwind after a day of shopping and before a night on the town. Rooms range from spacious king-bed doubles and twins to sprawling suites; all are sleekly designed and have nice touches like Nespresso machines, eco-friendly Bee Kind bath products, and 50-inch wall-mounted TVs. Although the Centric keeps things minimal in terms of communal hotel facilities, it does have a bar, restaurant, gym, and laidback lobby lounge.

Trendy yet budget-friendly, this hotel on the edge of Ginza seems geared to a younger crowd, with pop-art throughout and guest rooms done in light blues and oranges. Most rooms are compact singles and twins, although some triples and double bedroom rooms are available for families or groups of friends. Then there are the facilities, which (along with the price) make Lyf an option for long stays: a co-working space, chilled-out bar-lounge, shared kitchen, small gym, and a laundromat.

Both chic and reasonable, this hotel occupies the top nine floors of the 24-story Ginza Mitsui Building in a convenient location at the edge of the bustling neighborhood. Guest rooms have a soft modern style, incorporating earth tones with dashes of forest green. Little luxuries include cozy bedding and free Wi-Fi; View rooms offer city views from their bathrooms. Another great spot to take in the skyline? The Karin cocktail bar and E'Volta restaurant. Both are on the 16th floor and have wonderful panoramas of Tokyo.

Smack in the center of Ginza, this hotel was created in 2019 by budget Japanese retailer Muji, a company known for its natural toned, minimalist approach to interiors and fashion. That characteristic aesthetic runs through all of the smart, but compact singles and doubles, as well as the on-site library, bar, bakery, and Japanese restaurant. If you want to shop, the lower floors of the hotel's building house Muji's Ginza flagship store.
