Greater Tokyo

It may have a station on the Yamanote Line, but Meguro is a relatively residential area, and guests staying at hotels here appreciate the seclusion that affords.

Meanwhile, on the south end of the Yamanote metro line loop, Shinagawa is a destination for the business traveler. Hotels are clustered on either side of Shinagawa Station.

Located just south of Ikebukuro, Mejiro is a quiet residential area. Travelers staying here are seeking a break from the frenetic, urban pace of central Tokyo.

Claska (クラスカ ).

$$ | Hotel | Hip, modern, and utterly Japanese, the Claska provides a premier boutique hotel experience. The tiered, boxy exterior gives the building a space-age feel. But Western-style guest rooms have a lovely warmth to them, with gorgeous hardwood floors, tall white walls, and minimalist furniture reminiscent of Muji designs; the Japanese accommodations are lighted by paper lanterns and outfitted with small cushions for tea service above a tatami floor. Both keep a subdued color palate of white, gray, and brown, which keeps the space light and airy. The D.I.Y. rooms feature interiors by noted Japanese designers. For meals, Kiokuh serves contemporary Japanese dishes by day and operates as a cocktail lounge in the evenings. An adorable gift shop sells well-crafted eating utensils and acts as a gallery space. Yoga sessions are held on the building’s roof once a week. The hotel’s remote location, however, makes access a challenge, and the rooms are limited, so book well in advance. | Rooms from: ¥21000 | 1–3–18 Chuo-cho, Meguro-ku | 03/3719–8121 | www.claska.com | 15 rooms, 3 suites | No meals | Station: Toyoko Line, Gakugeidaigaku Station (Higashi-guchi/East Exit); 5 mins by taxi from JR Meguro Station .

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo (ホテル椿山荘東京 ).

$$$ | Hotel | Set inside a 17-acre garden, the elegant and European Hotel Chinzanso is a sheltered haven in Tokyo’s busy metropolis and a former estate of an imperial prince. Guest rooms are some of city’s largest, outfitted in muted pastels with chintz curtains and armchairs; the spacious bathrooms have soaking tubs, separate showers, and L’Occitane amenities. Deluxe Rooms overlook the garden or offer pleasant city skyline views. With columns, tropical plants, and a retractable glass roof, the pool is straight out of Xanadu. To take full advantage of the grounds, famous for their summertime fireflies, take one of the six distinct walks the hotel arranges. Note: since the hotel occupies a rather remote section of Tokyo, it is not convenient to other attractions. | Rooms from: ¥32000 | 2–10–8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku | 03/3943–1111 | www.hotel-chinzanso-tokyo.com | 219 rooms, 41 suites | No meals | Station: Yuraku-cho subway line, Edogawa-bashi Station (Exit 1A) .

Hotel InterContinental Tokyo Bay (ホテル インターコンチネンタル 東京ベイ ).

$$ | Hotel | Wedged between Tokyo Bay and an expressway, the InterContinental boasts lovely views, albeit in a slightly isolated setting. All of the rooms are large and dressed in soft neutral textiles; bathrooms include separate showers and tubs. The executive and club floors (18th to 24th) have a breakfast buffet and complimentary evening cocktails to go with a dedicated check-in area.
