Overview
Within Tokyo Station's restored red-brick Marunouchi building, The Tokyo Station Hotel combines a historic setting with direct station access. It first opened in 1915 and reopened after restoration in 2012. Its domes and long, low facade stand apart from the surrounding towers, while the guest rooms have classic European-style interiors.
The hotel connects directly to the Marunouchi South Exit. The Imperial Palace and Marunouchi's shops and restaurants are close by when you want to explore on foot.
Rooms
The 150 rooms and suites differ considerably in size and outlook. Classic rooms range from compact 23-square-metre options to much larger 47-square-metre layouts, so check the individual room size if you're traveling with several bags.
Dome Side rooms look into the station's decorated domes and down onto the concourse. Measuring 30 to 44 square metres, they have an interior outlook rather than views over the surrounding streets. Palace View rooms range from 40 to 55 square metres and face along the avenue toward the Imperial Palace gardens.
The 65-square-metre Maisonette rooms provide separate living and sleeping areas across two levels. Their internal staircases are worth considering if you prefer everything on one floor. Larger suites are also available.
Facilities
The basement wellness area has a gym, baths, and treatment rooms. Hotel guests can use The Jexer Tokyo gym without an additional charge, while bath access costs extra. The bathing area has a carbonated bath, an artificial hot spring, and dry and steam saunas; AN SPA provides facial and body treatments.
The gym and baths are limited to guests aged 16 and over, and spa treatments to those aged 18 and over. Tattoos must be covered in the gym and bathing facilities. The wellness area closes on the third Sunday of each month.
Dining
Breakfast at The Atrium is reserved for hotel guests and served beneath a nine-metre ceiling in the building's former attic. Beginning at 6:30 a.m., the buffet features Japanese dishes and eggs cooked to order. Plated breakfasts are served in The Lobby Lounge, and in-room breakfast is also available.
Ten restaurants, bars, and cafes provide plenty of choice later in the day. Blanc Rouge serves French cuisine using seasonal Japanese ingredients. Camellia has light meals and cocktails, while Bar Oak focuses on whiskies and cocktails. You can plan dinner in the hotel or return for a drink after eating elsewhere in Marunouchi.
Location and transport
The hotel occupies the west, Marunouchi side of the station, with its entrance directly connected to the JR Marunouchi South Exit. Tokyo Metro's Marunouchi Line is about three minutes away on foot and reaches Ginza and Shinjuku without a change of trains.
Allow time to cross the station for Shinkansen departures. Staying inside the building removes the street journey, but it doesn't place every platform beside the hotel entrance.
Airport access
Narita Express trains travel directly from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station in about an hour. From Haneda Airport, take the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho and change to the JR Yamanote or Keihin-Tohoku Line for Tokyo Station. Allow extra time for the walk from your Tokyo Station platform to the hotel.
Why stay here
An early Shinkansen departure needn't mean choosing a hotel for convenience alone. The restored architecture, unusual room outlooks, and extensive dining options offer reasons to spend time in the building before continuing your journey.
In Tokyo Station and Marunouchi, tree-lined Marunouchi Naka-dori has shops, cafes, and street art to explore on foot. You can also look back at the station from KITTE's rooftop garden or walk toward the Imperial Palace moat.
Good to know
If you're arriving by Narita Express or Shinkansen, hotel staff can meet you at the platform and escort you to the hotel. Reserve this service at least 48 hours ahead and provide your train's arrival time, car, and seat details.
