3-2-9 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku, Japan | (618) 248-8274
The mid-range Shinjuku Washington Hotel Annex sits in the heart of the Shinjuku neighborhood and shares a complex with its sister property, the Shinjuku Washington Hotel. Bland decor aside, it's a good choice for business travelers, offering eight meeting/event rooms as well as other conveniences like a restaurant serving shabu-shabu and teppanyaki for dinner, plus more dining options in the next-door sister hotel. A relaxation lounge offers massage chairs, computers and printers (for a fee), and coin-operated laundry facilities, plus Wi-Fi is free throughout (but can be slow). The 337 guest rooms here are small and simple, but offer a solid range of amenities, including mini-fridges, kettles, and flat-screen TVs with video on-demand. For larger rooms, check out Citadines Shinjuku Tokyo instead, though it lacks a restaurant.

What's the Scene Like at Shinjuku Washington Hotel Annex?
This mid-range business hotel has functional, bland interiors and is connected to another property.
Shinjuku Washington Hotel Annex is a mid-range hotel that's particularly popular with business travelers. Interiors have a streamlined though bland look: beige marble floors line the lobby and are paired with blonde-wood paneling and a wavy ceiling that can be a bit abrasive on the eyes. It looks dated, especially when compared to the considerably swankier on-site restaurant, Fujita. Decor at the restaurant includes seating along a curved glass wall that overlooks a lush garden, as well as paneled wood walls and dim, atmospheric lighting that sets the stage for live show cooking.
Where is Shinjuku Washington Hotel Annex Located?
Convenient location in the Shinjuku area, a short walk from the train station and near lots of restaurants and minimarts.

The Imperial Palace takes around 40 minutes to get to, as does the Sensoji Temple. Getting to Haneda Airport takes around 50 minutes using the Haneda-Airport Limousine Bus, or it's a 20- to 40-minute drive (depending on traffic). Narita Airport is around an hour-and-a-half away via public transit, or it's an hour to an hour and 20 minutes away by taxi.
