20 of The Best Hotels in Tokyo with a View (2025)

Heavily populated, vibrant, and utterly intoxicating, Tokyo is a city like no other. With skyscrapers set beside ancient temples and palaces, there is something of intrigue around every corner. We think the best way to see this city is from above. Escape the bustle and book a room up high to enjoy the unique skyline. Thankfully there are a good mix of hotels boasting spectacularly good views. Our hotel experts have made a collection of the best hotels in Tokyo with a view. Whether you'd like to finish your day floating in an onsen overlooking the city or you would rather a great value stay, there is something for everyone here.

For the design

• One@Toyko is designed by famed architect Kengo Kuma, in downtown Oshiage. Industrial cool sees plywood and concrete artfully laid to great effect. Rooms feature glass walls which lend spectacular views and if that's not good enough head to the roof terrace for a drink and panoramic scenes.
• Park Hotel Tokyo has a young and trendy feel. Simple minimalist rooms feature large works of contemporary artwork and spectacular skyline views from the expansive windows. Topped with an acclaimed bistro restaurant - this hotel comes highly recommended.

For a pool with a view

• Keio Plaza Hotel is Tokyo's first skyscraper, however, the interiors are contemporary with a nod towards traditional Japanese design seen throughout.

For the location
