If you have an early arrival or late departure from Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport, you might want to stay at an airport hotel. We’ve stayed in a lot of them and here are our top picks.

We’re big fans of airport hotels; they allow you to get a good night’s sleep before an early flight, and they allow you to get to sleep as soon as possible after a long international flight. While Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport is a lot closer to downtown Tokyo than Narita, it’s still useful to stay at an airport hotel in many cases. Here are our top picks for Haneda Airport hotels.

Hotels Right at Haneda International Airport
There are two hotels right at the airport: The Excel Tokyu at the domestic terminal and the Royal Park at the international Terminal:
Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Located right inside Haneda Airport Terminal 2, this is the most convenient hotel for domestic flights. Rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet. It’s an easy walk to security check and domestic flight gates, and quick hop on the airport train to Haneda Airport International Terminal. This is where we stay when we have an early domestic departure from Haneda. Highly recommended.

Located directly beside Haneda Airport International Terminal, this is the best choice for Haneda international flights (and it’s an easy hop on the airport train to the domestic terminal). It’s a smart Japanese business hotel that’s perfectly adequate for a night before or after a flight. Rates are fairly reasonable for an airport hotel.

Tokyo Hotels Convenient to Haneda International Airport
Haneda International Airport is actually quite close to the south side of downtown Tokyo. If you’re staying in the Tokyo Station Area, Ginza, Shimbashi, Shiodome, Hamamatsucho or Shinagawa, you can easily just take a taxi to the airport (but take rush hour traffic into consideration). If you want to take the train to Haneda, your best choice is to stay in Shinagawa, where you can catch the Keikyu express train direct to Haneda Airport. Here are two good hotels in Shinagawa:
The Strings by Intercontinental, Tokyo

Located in Shinagawa, a short walk from Keikyu Shinagawa Station with its easy access to Haneda, this is an international class hotel with comfortable rooms, great facilities and some superb views over Tokyo and Tokyo Bay.
