Bellustar bathroom with a view
The Bellustar is just steps from Shinjuku Station. It’s on the edge of Kabukicho, which can be a bit chaotic and slightly seedy in the evening, but if you go out the west side of the building, you can avoid all the madness. And, for partyers and those in search of nightlife, the location will be a plus.
Bellustar bar
Because the hotel is located on the upper floors of a tower, the views are amazing, and those on the west side will get an eye-popping view of Mt Fuji on clear days. The lobby restaurant also has great views, as does the gym.

Rooms are stylish and well appointed, with amazing floor-to-ceiling windows. Some also have bathtubs that offer views over the city. The real selling point here is the rates: for views and rooms like this in other luxury hotels in Tokyo you’d be looking at rates up to double those of the Bellustar. So, for a night of bright lights, big city in Tokyo, consider the Bellustar.
