Hotels in TokyoA traditional upscale hotel with Japanese gardens near Shinagawa Station
8.3/10
Lovely gardens and dependable service outweigh dated rooms, but current renovations need checking.
Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa is a traditional upscale hotel rather than cutting-edge five-star luxury. Its Japanese garden is the standout, backed by generally comfortable rooms and attentive service. Expedia and Booking.com guests consistently praise cleanliness, while recent reviews often describe rooms as spacious by Tokyo standards. It's a strong pick for travelers who prefer leafy surroundings and useful Shinagawa rail connections to a nightlife address.
The compromises are older interiors, some compact bathrooms and an uphill walk from the station that feels longer with luggage. Hotel dining is expensive, and the gym is small. More importantly, the hotel lists guest-room renovations through November 9, 2026, with possible daytime noise, and rooftop waterproofing through November 25, with possible odors. The seasonal Diamond Pool is currently closed. We'd skip it for pristine contemporary luxury or a stay where daytime quiet is essential.
