Scene
Smart and contemporary property embodies upscale InterContinental style
A branch of the InterContinental brand, this hotel delivers on all of the brand's standards. Style is sharp, simple, and high-end, and the polish is evident everywhere from the hotel's lobby to its restaurants, fitness center, and guest rooms. The lobby is a grand and airy atrium filled with natural light that has a sleek, contemporary look and eye-catching sculptures.
Bamboo and other native plants are set throughout the space and add some greenery to dominant stone hues in the the flooring and walls. Like most InterContinental hotels, there is a corporate feel to the property and it mainly attracts business
guests due to its Shinagawa location and facilities for business
guests. Many tourists do stay here, though, and the property is also popular
for weddings as it has a chapel on-site. It's a contemporary
and intimate space with modern tube-style lights that hang centrally above the
aisle.
Location
In Shinagawa's bustling business district, next to the train station
The hotel is enviably located in Shinagawa, one of the city's leading
business districts. The entrance is on the 26th floor of the building, which is
located next to Shinagawa Train Station and is connected to the station by an
internal walkway. In the immediate neighborhood there are a large number of shops,
restaurants, and cafes, plus many office buildings belonging to large companies
such as Sony. It's less than a 10-minute walk to Shinagawa Prince Hotel, a huge
complex with a movie theater and bowling alley, as well as the EPSON Aqua Park, a
popular aquarium. Shinagawa Station makes subway and train access super easy. The hotel is a bit far from tourist-friendly locations like the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, which will take 40 minutes to reach by subway, and it's about 30 minutes to Shibuya. Haneda Airport is around 20 minutes away by car or public
transport, while Narita International Airport takes around 90 minutes to reach
by train (or 60 minutes by car).
