Hilton Hotels & Resorts reopened the Odaiba property in October 2015, and has already embarked on a major renovation while remaining faithful to a location that is arguably the most spectacular in Tokyo.
Rooms The hotel has a curved facade, which means every one of its guestrooms has a view of Tokyo Bay from a private balcony. The best views are from the west of the property, which look out to the Rainbow Bridge, the Tokyo Tower, the Tokyo Sky Tree and a profile of the entire city.
The rooms are light and airy, the bathrooms are appointed in glass and marble, and most of the suites include a private garden and outdoor jet bath.
Rooms are also fitted with a minibar and Wi-Fi, as well as a wide-screen satellite TV – although a view like that makes this redundant.
MICE facilities The hotel has 20 meeting spaces, including the 1,200m2 Pegasus room, with space for 1,600 guests in a buffet configuration or 720 in banquet style.
This is also one of the very few venues in Tokyo where a vehicle can be displayed and has therefore proven popular with automobile-related events.
Each of the four medium-size banquet rooms – Orion, Sirius, Apollon and Jupiter – has capacity for 640 guests.
Events can also take place on one of three terraced areas overlooking the bay and lights of Tokyo.
The fully-equipped business centre is nearby and the hotel has a full-time team of staff dedicated to ensuring business events operate smoothly.
Other facilities The newly refurbished Executive Lounge serves breakfast, afternoon tea and in the evening, snacks and cocktails.
On a fine day, be sure to arrive early to get one of the outdoor tables. After the sun has gone down, the barman in Captain’s Bar pours a sublime gin and tonic and has an impressive selection of whiskies.
The hotel also features a fitness centre, spa and sauna, as well as a number of dining options, including sushi, teppanyaki and a tempura restaurant. Two additional dining facilities are scheduled to be up later this year.
