Kimpton SHINJUKU TOKYO, an IHG Hotel

The staff was incredible and very personable. They helped us book an incredible dinner and helped with every question we had. The hotel is beautiful and an easy 10 min walk from the train station. Not much directly around the hotel, but with a short walk or easy taxi's, can access everything. Very happy with our stay.

Fantastic service, they really accommodated all my requests, with no questions asked and always made us feel very welcome. The cleanliness of the rooms is on another level. Great location too!

I stayed at the Kimpton for two nights at the end of a two week solo holiday in Japan. This was a bit of a splurge after staying at all Japanese based hotels for the trip. I used to stay at Kimptons frequently when I was a work traveler in the past but had not stayed in one overseas. This is, by far, the best Kimpton I've ever stayed in. 1) Service is impeccable and the staff is well trained, friendly and helpful. As a solo traveler, I so appreciated the time each staff person took to ask me about my holiday and where I was from. To be clear, I opened the door to these conversations, I imagine they are well trained to also know when someone wants to be left alone. 2) I booked a King Essential room. I had a corner room on the 9th floor with panoramic views. The room has automated black out shades and diffusing shades. The bed was very comfortable (firm but soft top) and the bedding made me want to stay in bed all day and stare out at the view. 3) Complementary morning drinks and wine reception in the evening on the 16th floor. Great view and a fun place to chat if traveling solo. 4) Easy walk to Shinjuku Station with both high end dining and wonderful casual, local places for sushi, ramen, gyoza and takoyaki. 4) Worth mentioning again: the staff is wonderful. I will stay here again on my next visit to Japan.
