The Grand Prince Hotel is an upper-class accommodation franchise renown in Tokyo. In this article, I review my time at the Takanawa branch.
For a truly luxurious experience, Grand Prince Hotel has everything you need for a memorable time in Tokyo. I had the privilege of spending a day here during my travels around the city of Shinagawa in Tokyo prefecture.
Impressive Artwork
The moment you walk through the doors to the Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa, you’ll be blown away by the huge canvas of artwork on display. The lobby area is absolutely beautiful with a cozy ambiance featuring patterned carpets, artistic contemporary lighting, and soothing background music.
Spectacular Hotel Room Views
The hotel rooms almost mimic the lobby area in that they are exceptionally comfy, cozy, and calming.
If you get a high enough floor, you’ll have a window view of Shinagawa city that is quite spectacular!
Just around the corner is the entertainment district of Odaiba where you can see some of Tokyo’s iconic landmarks like Diver City and teamLab Planets.
Stunning Outdoor Area
Grand Prince Hotel offers beautiful walking routes on the hotel grounds. There are plenty of interesting authentic Japanese exhibits such as bamboo groves and traditional umbrellas on display. Furthermore, you can take a nap on one of the many special seats designed for a relaxing lie down outside.
Beautiful Koi Fish Ponds
A mesmerizing display of nature, the Grand Prince Hotel’s outdoor area features multiple koi fish ponds along the walkways.
Beautiful colorful koi fish swim together and approach the edges when people walk by as though to greet them with friendly enthusiasm.
Not sure what those poles sticking out of the water are, but it sure makes for an enchanting decoration!
Lovely Evening Ambiance
In the evenings, walking outside has a different charm altogether.
The bamboo exhibits light up to create a beautiful ambiance that turns any ordinary evening into a magical night.
Thick tree branches and lush green leaves make it feel as though you’ve entered the wilderness, allowing you to be one with nature.
Indeed, no matter your budget, it can be worth staying at the Grand Prince Hotel for at least one night. Trust me, you won’t forget it!
Of course, if you are planning to visit Japan, you’ll need a way to get around the country as efficiently and affordably as possible. Japan Rail provides an abundance of travel passes to suit your travel needs. So whether you are traveling individually or as a group, the JR Pass is every traveler’s go-to for getting around and making the most of your time in Japan!
