Frommer's Review

Rising high above the pastoral surroundings of a parkland and Zozoji Temple, this 33-story monolith opened in 2005 as the Prince chain's most luxurious Tokyo property -- and it's Tokyo's most talk-about hotel. After a sit-down check-in in the marble lobby, dominated by an elegant ikebana flower arrangement, you'll cross a bridge over water and through the triangular-shaped building's hollow core before reaching the elevators. Designed by Tange Associates (the firm created by architect Kenzo Tange), the hotel certainly gets your attention. Rooms, from the 3rd to 31st floors, are what you'd expect from a new hotel of this caliber (including whirlpool tubs and separate showers), so it's the views that stand out, with about half the rooms possessing balconies. You'll pay more for higher executive floors (from the 19th floor and up), accessed only by special key. The hotel is within spitting distance of Tokyo Tower and a sobering walk from Roppongi's nightlife district.

Facilities: 6 restaurants; jazz bar; 2 lounges; health club w/25m (82-ft.) indoor pool, fitness room, and hot-spring bath (fee: ¥4,200/$40); bowling alley w/darts and billiards; salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms; free shuttle available to Hamamatsucho Station.
