Hilton Tokyo

A luxury hotel in west Shinjuku, the Hilton opened in 1984 after vacating its previous premises in Akasaka. Rooms are of a good size, although the views, often blocked by other towers in the area, can be disappointing. As you’d expect, the standard of service is high. For business travellers, the hotel offers five executive floors, with separate check-in, a fax machine in each room and their own guest relations officers on hand to help out and advise. The Hilton is also one of few Tokyo hotels to have its own tennis courts.
