"A 17-floor, 84-room take on the traditional Japanese ryokan located in the heart of the city, offering a serene, stacked sanctuary. Dining highlights include a sensory traditional Japanese breakfast and a signature Nippon Cuisine dinner that gives local ingredients a French twist (for example, scallop mousse with scabbard fish); the property also features an outdoor top-floor onsen." - Rachel Chang
"A modern-day ryokan offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city." - Christina Liao
"Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a tea lounge on every floor with complimentary Japanese snacks such as sesame rice crackers, fruit jellies, and cakes flavored with matcha and red bean." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Before opening in 2016 in the lesser-known business district of Otemachi, this homegrown hotel chain drilled a kilometer and a half under Tokyo’s concrete to tap into a hot spring and draw its mineral-rich water. The 17-story tower has 84 rooms and feels more like a dozen ryokans than it does one hotel. Each floor, accessible only to guests staying on that floor, has its own central lounge—or ochanoma —for quiet relaxing with a pot of genmaicha. Every guest room is spacious with glass-walls, sliding latticed washi screens, bamboo closets, fragrant tatami mats, and supremely fluffy futons. It’s worth having dinner at the hotel’s guest-only restaurant which serves colorfully presented Nippon cuisine. Regardless of dinner location, every night should end at the open-air rooftop onsen—the reason behind the heroic drilling—for soaking while stargazing in the middle of the city." - Brandon Presser
"A modern urban take on the traditional inn, this sleek property pairs contemporary design with ryokan elements—tatami floors and ikebana displays—across its 84 rooms, and features an extraordinary open-roofed outdoor bath that provides a rare city-centre soaking experience." - Nicola Chilton
