Park Hotel | Tokyo

The first time we visited Tokyo, nearly a decade ago, we stayed in Shinjuku which made it very convenient to explore the west side of the city. On this trip we opted for a hotel closer to the central/eastern side, for a change of scenery. We ended up finding the Park Hotel Tokyo, located in Shiodome. It’s close to the famous Tsukiji Market, the serene imperial gardens, and the restaurants of Roppongi.

The hotel is located above the 25th floor in a skyscraper and the lobby is in a 10 floor high atrium. While we were there, sculptures were on display around the hotel from various Japanese artists. It was like having a museum right in the hotel. Some of the rooms even have murals painted on the walls . 

While our room didn't have a mural, it did have an incredible view of the Tokyo skyline, including the Tokyo Tower. We spent a little time each morning and evening sitting on the window seat watching the Shinkasen bullet trains snake their way through the city, the lights, the reflections, and just taking it all in.
