Forbes ★★★★☆ 4-Star

Character and identity

A Tokyo institution dating back to 1890, the Imperial sits opposite the 40-acre Hibiya Park with Ginza's department stores a short walk away. The current 1970 main building plus a 1983 tower (the third incarnation, following Frank Lloyd Wright's 1923 design) opens onto a two-storey marble lobby with Art Deco flourishes, staffed by concierges who handle requests with practised calm. Expect 13 restaurants and four bars across the property, including Les Saisons, where Thierry Voisin sends out French classics and a signature truffle pastry. The tower's lap pool, gym and sauna are complimentary, and the shopping arcade is among the city's largest.

Who's it for

Best for:
Travellers who want a central Tokyo base with deep service polish, serious food across multiple cuisines, and easy access to Ginza and Hibiya Park. It suits formal business guests (the business lounge is sizeable), couples who value tradition over trend, and returning Japan visitors who prize reliability and an old-guard atmosphere.

Should look elsewhere:
Design literates chasing contemporary Tokyo, or anyone hoping for the original Wright building, will find the architecture of the 1970s main block and 1983 tower utilitarian. Guests after intimate, boutique-scale stays should also pass: this is a large, busy hotel built for volume.

Bottom line

The draw here is institutional service and an enviable Hibiya address, backed by a dining roster deep enough that you needn't leave the building. Book the tower for brighter, taller rooms and pool access on the same floors, and time a stay around a Les Saisons dinner. Travellers who want cutting-edge Tokyo design should look at the newer Otemachi and Toranomon openings instead.
