30 Best Hotels in Tokyo for Every Budget
Fueled by the promise of millions of travelers for the 2020 Olympics, Tokyo’s hotel machine has continued apace despite the Games that never were. In fact, we challenge you to name another major metropolitan center in the world that’s cranking out new digs across all budgets with as much fervor as Japan’s capital. Both local and international investors are building new rooms with such zeal that several brands are spawning multiple flagship locations within the city limits. (We’re eagerly awaiting the opening of Janu Tokyo—a spin-off brand by Aman—and the completed renovation of the legendary Park Hyatt Tokyo.)
And the demand is still outpacing supply: The Land of the Rising Sun is a darling destination of our post-pandemic era of revenge travel, and Tokyo is its epicenter, made more appealing by the precipitous decline of the yen. But while food, attractions, and souvenirs feel like a devilishly good deal, hotels in Tokyo have been rejiggered to match foreigners’ wallet sizes—the average stay at a five-star property has effortlessly climbed beyond $1,000 a night. That being said, there are still great finds to be scored in the mid-range and budget categories: sleek, ultra-clean rooms pocketed across all of the city’s major hubs. These are the best hotels in Tokyo for every budget.
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind. This gallery has been updated with new information since its original publish date.
