★9.7★


1. Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten

The best-rated hotel in Tokyo is also one of the properties that holds the most interesting history. The original building was constructed in 1899, but has gone through a number of hurdles, including being completely burned down to the ground in the Great Kanto Earthquake. The last renovation of the hotel took place in 2014, but the traditional Japanese design has been kept so that guests can enjoy the mix of traditional and modern to its fullest. Staying guests praise the hotel for its spacious, clean and quiet rooms. But be aware; the hotel has a very limited number of rooms, so you might want to book early in advance to secure your room!
