HOTEL OVERVIEW

Honestly, when I first walked into BELLUSTAR TOKYO, I wasn’t expecting much – I mean, it’s right in the heart of Kabukicho, which most people know as Tokyo’s red-light district. But you know what? That’s exactly what makes this place so brilliant. The hotel sits on this quiet corner of the chaos, and somehow the designers managed to create this incredibly sophisticated sanctuary that feels completely removed from the neon madness just outside your window. The lobby has this dramatic, almost theatrical quality that works perfectly with the neighborhood’s energy – lots of dark marble and brass accents that catch the light just right, especially in the evening when everything starts to glow.

What really got me was how they’ve embraced the location instead of trying to hide from it. The upper floor rooms – and trust me, you want to request a high floor – give you these incredible views over the Shinjuku skyline that are absolutely stunning at night. I spent way too much time just standing at the window watching the organized chaos below. The rooms themselves are surprisingly spacious for Tokyo standards, with these massive bathrooms that have separate soaking tubs (which, after a day of walking around the city, is basically heaven). The beds are ridiculously comfortable too – I’m talking sink-right-in quality that makes getting up actually painful. Service-wise, the staff here really knows their stuff. They’re not just polite in that formal Japanese way, they actually seem to anticipate what you need before you ask for it.

The real genius of staying here is the location, though. Yeah, Kabukicho has a reputation, but it’s also where you’ll find some of the best late-night food in the city – there’s this tiny ramen shop about two blocks away that stays open until 4 AM and serves the most incredible tonkotsu broth. Plus, you’re literally a five-minute walk to Shinjuku Station, which means you can get anywhere in Tokyo without breaking a sweat. I actually loved being able to duck back to the hotel between sightseeing sessions since everything’s so accessible. The only minor thing I’d mention is that it can get a bit lively outside on weekend nights – not loud enough to keep you awake if you’re a normal sleeper, but if you’re super sensitive to noise, maybe pack some earplugs. But honestly, that’s part of the experience. You’re staying in one of Tokyo’s most vibrant neighborhoods in what’s genuinely one of the most thoughtfully designed hotels I’ve encountered in the city.

Amazing hotel - the views and the room were awe inspiring. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

What could be improved: Nothing! I get scared of lifts but that’s my fault not the hotel! 🤣

Breathtaking view - you can see all the way to Skytree and beyond! One of the best in Tokyo. Waking up to it is something special. The bed was so comfortable & room was really luxurious.

Breathtaking view - you can see all the way to Skytree and beyond! One of the best in Tokyo. Waking up to it is something special. The bed was so comfortable & room was really luxurious.

What could be improved: Incredibly minor complaint as it wasn’t an issue for us, but for some it may be inconvenient getting in and out of the hotel. It took a bit of walking & 3 separate elevators to get to & from the room - that’s the cost you pay for the view & was absolutely worth it.

An outstanding experience - spacious arrival area. Felt like we were the only ones at the hotel - meet and greet to the check in was super. The Junior corner suite was amazing - it was beyond expectation and every little touch was superb. Special surprise for my wife on her birthday, everything you want in a 5-star experience. Bath was lovely, bed comfy, touches were sublime and food was amazing - room service; breakfast; just lovely. Cannot understate the tremendous stay here.

What could be improved: The 5pm drinks were a bit below what experienced at other hotels - a wider selection of drinks and nibbles would be amazing.

Now I've stayed in a few classy hotels in my life, but this hotel blew them all out of the water... It was amazing! The view of Tokyo from my bedroom was exceptional, and the staff was so on point and accommodating, the service was excellent. There is a chill out lounge available for you to get your own snacks and tea for free, and relax with a view of the city. There are a few restaurants there too, I went to the wagyu one and was served a fine dining course experience with a personal chef for a very low cost, I was impressed. This hotel is one of those where while it is pricey, it is also something where you get what you pay for - I will be here again soon.

We were blown away by the views! I highly recommend booking the Garden View rooms here. We spent over an hour spotting all the famous landmarks in Tokyo, and with the help of our camera's zoom lens, we managed to see them clearly. Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Dome, Tokyo Station, Tokyo Tower, the entire Shibuya and Shinjuku areas, and more – you can even see the Landmark Tower in Yokohama from the room! Everything else, from cleanliness to service and breakfast, was top-notch. It’s a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it.

What could be improved: The moment you step out of Kabukicho Tower, you are in the heart of Kabukicho. Some may find the lively atmosphere a positive, while others, especially those with families, may not. In our case, everything was good.
