About The Prince
The Prince Park Tower Tokyo is a 33-storey luxury accommodation nestled within Shiba Park in the heart of Japan’s bustling capital.
The property first opened its doors in 2005 and has been welcoming guests from all over the world for approximately two decades.
It offers one of the most expansive views of Tokyo, and is renowned for its STELLAR GARDEN Sky Lounge. Even if they are fully booked for your travel dates or your plans don’t end up panning out, a cocktail or two at this panoramic bar is a must for your next trip to the Land of the Rising Sun.
Getting Here
The Prince is conveniently located within walking distance to Shibakoen and Akabanebashi Stations. It is also a short 10-minute taxi ride from Tokyo Station.
Airport shuttle buses are available for guests arriving from Haneda and Narita Airports. (The Haneda Airport Limousine Bus is temporarily suspended at the moment as of March, 2024.) Further detailed directions can be found on their official site.
Check-In & Check-Out
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM. Like most hotels, early check-in is subject to availability.
My boyfriend and I landed at Haneda Airport at 6:45 PM. We then checked in at around 8:00 PM without any problems. Their reception runs 24/7, but it is advised that you contact them in advance should you be arriving late.
Check-out is until 12:00 PM.
Panoramic Corner King Room Non-Smoking Tokyo Tower
If you wish to enjoy your morning coffee with a side of epic views, opt for the Tokyo Tower rooms. (When making a reservation, the room type will either include “Tokyo Tower View” or “Tokyo Tower” in its name.)
My boyfriend and I spent three nights in a Panoramic Corner King Room Non-Smoking Tokyo Tower on the 23rd floor, and it was everything I imagined it to be, if not more!
As its name suggests, the Panoramic Corner King Room features a king-size bed, reading and writing desk, small sitting/lounging area, and spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi tub.
The room is fairly spacious considering how small Japanese hotels typically are. The view is, of course, spectacular. And the breakfast? Don’t even get me started! The traditional Japanese breakfast was so delicious that I am still thinking about it even to this day. Trust me when I say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you need to treat yourself to 😉

Cons
I have nothing but the absolute best to say about my stay. However, as with most big cities, noise pollution is unavoidable. You can definitely hear sirens at night sometimes, but it’s not a continued occurrence, so it’s by no means a dealbreaker.
Apart from that, I would say The Prince is a tiny bit outdated compared to other luxury hotels in Japan, . After all, it was built in 2005, according to what was considered trending at the time. That being said, the value you get for the price is still excellent, making it well worth considering!
