Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main, part of the multi-property New Otani luxury hotel complex, sits in a 400-year-old Japanese garden. This 643-room property offers spacious and stylish accommodations -- many with great views of the surrounding garden. Unlike sister property Executive House Zen, which is premium and edgy, with an ultra-modern feel, The Main is bright and reserved, with a more traditional vibe. The property has multiple dining options (including a rotating restaurant on the 17th floor), a business center, and free parking. Three subway stations and the Akasaka Palace and State Guest House are in walking distance of its location. As an alternative, The Tokyo Station Hotel offers a more historic and romantic atmosphere, but rates can be higher.

Scene
On a luxurious multi-property concept unified by style and history
The Main was originally built in 1962 in anticipation of the upcoming Olympic Games. The Hotel New Otani property consists of three buildings that are situated on a 10-acre, 400-year-old Japanese garden that can be traced back to a samurai lord. The Main and the Executive House ZEN are the two beautiful and luxurious parts of the New Otani complex, while Garden Tower could stand a facelift. The entry to The Main is chic and contemporary with abstract art and dark wood accents. The gray, black, and cream color palette gives the property an air of sophistication. Reflecting traditional luxury, the hotel attracts well-heeled leisure travelers along with business travelers.
Location
In the government district with cultural sites nearby
Akasaka is reputed as a place to see and be seen. The area is known for its nightlife culture, as well as high-end shopping and dining. Despite being a city center hotel, there are a number of cultural sites in the area. Several global embassies and government agencies are nearby, including the National Diet Building, which is a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Other tourist sites including the Suntory Museum of Art and the Imperial Palace are about 10 minutes away by car. Also, public transportation is readily available -- three subway stations are about eight minutes away on foot, and the Japan Railway (JR) is less than a 10-minute walk from the property. Haneda Airport is a 23-minute drive away.
Rooms
Sleek, spacious rooms, some with a view of the Japanese garden
The Main offers spacious rooms with a bright and airy feel. Rooms have contemporary furnishings and a palette of beige and soft gray, with pops of color. There's a modest minibar with a tea kettle, private label toiletries, and a robe with slippers. The overall feel is cozy and inviting. Many rooms in The Main have a view overlooking the beautiful Japanese garden. Free Wi-Fi, safes, hairdryers, and flat-screen TVs are also standard.
Features
Lots of dining, free parking, historic Japanese garden, free Wi-Fi, and a huge outdoor pool
The Hotel New Otani as a whole covers a lot of property and features a number of global dining options. Sekishin-Tei is a Teppanyaki restaurant offering Japanese, Chinese, and western cuisine. It sits in the Japanese garden, and large windows offer a view of the picturesque setting. The Sky Buffet and Bar is a rotating restaurant on the 17th floor, offering 360-degree views of the city. What sets this buffet apart from other eateries on property is that there's a Stage Kitchen where guests choose ingredients and the chefs prepare the items to-order. Other amenities include an expansive business center with work stations and conference rooms, banquet space for up to 2,000 guests, and free on-site parking. The historic Japanese garden covers 10 acres and features ponds and a waterfall. The outdoor pool is also in the garden and is touted as the largest hotel pool in Central Tokyo. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
