Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Tokyo

A short walk from the megalithic Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office, the Hilton is a particular favorite of Western business travelers. The lobby is on a comfortable, human scale, with a copper-clad spiral staircase that reaches to the mezzanine floor and the bar-lounge. The sizable guest rooms, at least 320 square feet, are in soft, relaxing colors that include Japanese touches, such as the shoji screen, a constant since the hotel's opening in 1963. Forty-inch LCD TVs and MP3 docking stations are standards in deluxe rooms, and executive rooms on the upper floors have superb views, plus private check-in, complimentary breakfast, and evening cocktails.
