"The big draw is its location across the street from the Imperial Palace and a short stroll from the center of Ginza."

There are 314 guest rooms going up to the 24th floor, but be sure to nab a high one and be specific about a palace view, or you could end up staring at office buildings.

"From the staff in caps and sharp suits... to the shimmering gold glow emitting from the top floors, the 24-floor Peninsula Tokyo exudes elegance and grace."

Because rates are the same no matter which way you face, be sure to request a room overlooking the garden.

"A bustling complex in the center of Tokyo... the New Otani can feel frantic, but its best feature, a spectacular 10-acre Japanese garden, helps guests find sanctuary."

"There’s a whiff of pretension about the New Ōtani, but it’s justified, loaded as it is with large, luxurious rooms, upmarket restaurants, boutiques and gift shops."
