Hotel Review: The Prince Park Tower Tokyo

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo Hotel Review

Looking for one of the best five-star hotels in Tokyo with an incredible view that is hard to beat? Look no further than the Prince Park Tower Tokyo hotel!

There’s no denying that, in just fourteen nights in Japan, we stayed at far too many hotels. Osaka and Kyoto weren’t an issue but, once we arrived in Tokyo, we ended up staying in a further five hotels in total! By the time we arrived at the exceptional Prince Park Tower Tokyo hotel we were definitely in need of a few relaxing days and nights enjoying the room itself and resting our weary bodies after three full on days at Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea.

We finished at Disney Sea at around 5pm before grabbing an Uber Premium straight from the door of the Miracosta Hotel over Rainbow Bridge to the door of the Prince Park Tower Tokyo hotel. As soon as we walked through into the lobby dimly lit with the warm glow from a Christmas tree, I knew this hotel was something special. By the time we reached the 31st floor and pulled back the curtains to reveal one of the most iconic views from all of the hotels in Tokyo, I was in love. The Prince Park Tower Tokyo hotel is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in and yes, whilst I can imagine it would have been even better if we weren’t shattered with a toddler in tow, it was extremely family friendly. Not even our little one could get bored of the view!

I stayed two nights at the Prince Park Tower Tokyo hotel in exchange for a review and social media coverage. As always, all opinions are my own.

THE PRINCE PARK TOWER TOKYO

THE ROOM

We stayed in Room 3116, a Premium King Room with floor to ceiling and wall to wall windows, offering unrivalled views across Tokyo’s skyline, Shiba Park and Zojo-ji, a Buddhist temple dating back to 1622. Before we get onto the room, you can’t help but be mesmerised by the view, Tokyo Tower seemingly within touching distance.

The Premium King Room is over 400 square feet which, in a city like Tokyo, is huge. There was more than enough room for the three of us to not get under each other’s skin (even though we were sharing a bed – for 5’s and under) and to lay out our two suitcases.

As soon as you walk in you’re into a little hallway area before moving into the room itself, a mini-bar / coffee station in front of you, a desk if you fancy doing a bit of remote work, two comfy chairs overlooking the skyline and an open bathroom. There aren’t many places where you can shower with a breathtaking view across Tokyo!

This room was perfect for a family, especially with the bed sharing option for those with littler kids, though the only thing we had to avoid was enjoying some time on the balcony; those doors remained firmly shut!

LOCATION

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo Hotel is situated in Shiba Park in Minato City; around 3km south of Tokyo Station and 4.6km east of Shibuya. There isn’t a great deal of buzz around the hotel to be fair but it’s well placed for the Tokyo Tower, obviously, and you can walk to Roppongi Station in around 30 minutes.

The hotel offers a shuttle service to Hamamatsucho Station on the JR line and both Shibakoen Station and Akabanebashi Station are a short walk away. We were able to get back from Shinjuku on the quieter Toei Oedo Line. There’s always a way to get back to the hotel with some use of the more local metro lines. Failing that, Uber is great!

OUR EXPERIENCE

I said above that we stayed at the hotel after three long days at Tokyo Disney Resort yet, whilst in an ideal world we would have not left the hotel room until check-out, we still needed to explore more of Tokyo. I found the city to be bigger than I could even comprehend and we only had one full day left to explore the west of central Tokyo so we had no choice but to get back on our feet and see more.

We managed to wander up from the hotel past Azabudai Hills (and Japan’s tallest building), through Roppongi to the National Art Center before taking the metro to Nakameguro for a coffee stop. We explored a bit of Shibuya and Shinjuku before returning to the hotel and grabbing pizza at PST Higashi Azabu – unreal!

Each morning we started our day right with a buffet breakfast on the top floor with freshly made pancakes, eggs and, for me at least, a random selection of meats and cheese plus some form of cold pumpkin salad that I could eat every single day.

Check out was 12pm too so we spent our last full day in Japan having a very lazy morning filled with coffee, 7/11 ice creams and Netflix streaming.

PRICE

As I’m sure you can imagine, a hotel of this standard is not going to come cheap especially in Tokyo. By booking directly and becoming a member, you can expect to pay around ¥99,000 per night for the Premium King Room (with breakfast). That’s about £500 and $627. That’s expensive yes but definitely worth it if you’re able to afford it. Don’t worry though, the Prince Park Tower Tokyo hotel offers rooms for most budgets; the cheapest room I’ve tried to book is around ¥48,000 / £245 / $304.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Our whole stay at the Prince Park Tower Tokyo Hotel was just exceptional, a five star hotel that really does live up to the expectations. It was exactly what we needed to bring our trip to Japan to an end. From the view, it’s all about the view isn’t it, to the quality of the rooms, the friendliness of all staff and the lovely breakfast, there was nothing we could complain about whatsoever! I can imagine it would be even better for couples who fancy an evening drink in the bar but my kind of travel is completely different now with a little one and I’m ok with that!
