Best 4-Star Hotels in Tokyo: Where We Actually Stayed (And What We'd Skip)

Nine hotels in four visits to Tokyo have been reviewed. We found Hotel Gracery to be well worth the price considering its great location. Two other hotels were tried, but will not be used again.
When a travel blog gives you a long list of generic Tokyo hotels with the same photographs, you can be sure that the information is nothing more than brochure material. During our last four research visits to Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Shiodome, our team packed their bags and made their way to the busy Tokyo subway, measuring room sizes, and checking noise levels past midnight.
