We love the Aoyama Grand. It’s a beautiful and stylish hotel in an uncrowded but convenient part of Tokyo. It’s the perfect spot for those looking to escape the seething hubs of Shinjuku and Shibuya.
Superior Queen with City View
The Aoyama Grand Hotel At A Glance
- Great for: couples, solo travelers
- Strong points: boutique style, great service, away from crowds but convenient
- Sample rates: US$440 to $880
Aoyama Grand entrance
Aoyama is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Tokyo: It’s packed with fashionable restaurants and shops. And, it’s relatively free from the crowds that plague other areas of the city. But, it’s far from inconvenient: you can walk to Shibuya, Roppongi and Harajuku within 20 or 30 minutes. And, the hotel is very close to Gaien-mae Station the Ginza Subway Line, which gives quick access to Shibuya, Asakusa and Nihombashi etc. So, really, you get the best of both worlds: convenience and calm.
Rooftop bar/lounge
The hotel is on the small side and it’s got heaps of great boutique style. And, as befitting a boutique hotel, the service is warm, intimate and efficient. You’ll really appreciate coming home to this hotel every evening.
Deluxe Twin with City View
For those who can afford it (the rates hover between the mid- and the upper-range), the Aoyama Grand is an amazing choice for those who prefer something other than famous international hotel brands.
