Tokyo is awash with great new hotels, most of which opened during the pandemic. Here’s a short list of our favorites.
Mimaru Shinjuku West: Midrange, family friendly
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
This is the best family hotel in Tokyo. It’s got a great location – right next to the “Lost in Translation” hotel, the Park Hyatt Tokyo.
