Very nice hotel with an excellent staff. Ate at a few of the many restaurants and they were all nice. I generally avoid hotel restaurants but they all were highly recommended by the locals. In all, a great stay.

Stayed here for 3 nights on a business trip, in the tower block. I was on the 28th floor, with a beautiful view of the city. The rooms here are a little tired, although I understand that there are some upgraded rooms elsewhere in the hotel. It is a very large hotel, so I had some trouble navigating within the hotel in the beginning.

The best part about this hotel is its location. You can step right out into Ginza where all the shops and restaurants are. The train station is at the doorstep as well. Service is excellent. My only gripe is that they charge 1000Y for use of the gym.

The Imperial Hotel has a long history as desireable address in Tokyo, and the proximity to the imperial grounds and the Ginza shopping/dining district are a major plus. The hotel is much more of a traditional luxury hotel, and can seem a bit dated for business travelers looking for modern conveniences as opposed to traditional luxury.

The rooms are a decent size, and the views from the Tower can be fantastic (see attached pics). That being said, the main building rooms have been renovated and have more updated amenities. It is also a bit of a procedure to get from the main building lobby up to the tower rooms, nothing that will cause you to break a sweat but still slightly inconvenient.

The Imperial is great if you want to explore the parks around the Imperial grounds, and also excellent if you are looking to do some shopping, dining or just people-watching in Ginza. It's also fairly easy to get to the underground from the Imperial.

I would recommend the Imperial for anyone looking for a bit of a luxury get-away, probably more to impress your spouse/date/etc. It's not bad for a business trip either, but in that case I would prefer the ANA Intercontinental.

The Imperial Hotel is conveniently located across the street from the Imperial Palace grounds. The service and hospitality are unmatched. Hotel staff is everywhere and they go out of their way to help. We only ate breakfast there and the buffet was huge. It 's cool to see a chef make an omelet with chopsticks!
