Summary
The best hotels in Tokyo, according to iBestTravel readers, are hospitality stalwarts that connect luxury travelers to Japanese food and culture.
Tokyo is a city of welcome contradictions: sparkling skyscrapers next to tranquil, Zen-like gardens; centuries-old temples coexisting with only-in-Japan technologies. These contrasts can also be found in the city’s many hotels, from beloved brands to lesser-known, historic ryokan. This year, iBestTravel readers expressed a notable appreciation for Tokyo’s luxury chain properties.
