Right near Tokyo’s main railway station, this hotel is superbly located as well as being great for families. While this hotel is pricier than many of its competitors, the Tokyo branch of the Four Seasons boasts superb facilities and superb service. Just one example of this: if you let the hotel know you’ll be arriving by train then someone will meet you at the platform to help you carry your bags to the hotel. They’ll even meet you outside your carriage if you tell them what seat(s) you have! Now that’s service.
Kids are well looked after, with extra things that other hotels don’t do like child sized bath robes, complimentary bed time snacks and toiletries just for the little ones in addition to the usual welcome packs. Specialist kids menus are available in the restaurants and in-room dining.
