Tokyo Imperial Palace Hotel

In mid-April, I was looking for a hotel in Tokyo during the May Day holiday, and the prices had doubled. The Tokyo Imperial Palace Hotel did not raise its prices, so I booked it. I am very glad about the choice I made at that time. I really like this hotel. I came from Nagoya by Shinkansen to Tokyo Station, came out of the Marunouchi Central Exit, and walked west for 10 minutes to get there. (Later I found out that right below the hotel is the Otemachi Station of the subway, exit 13b, and it's also close to exits 11, 12, and 13a.) Many reviews mentioned encountering weddings at this hotel, and I did too. It's really a joyous place. I booked the most basic deluxe king room. The room was decorated with reflective mahogany and sheer curtains that revealed the Imperial Garden; on the table, there was a cute matcha bean welcome snack, and next to the washbasin, there was an abundance of toiletries. The Bose speaker on the bedside table maximized the holiday vibe (if your phone's Bluetooth can't find the speaker, just press and hold the Bluetooth button on the speaker to discover it~). After dinner, returning to the hotel at night, the turndown service was touching. Three bottles of fresh water, ice cubes, snacks, pajamas, a steam eye mask, slippers, everything was available. The night was very quiet, the quietest hotel I have ever stayed in. Waking up, the Imperial Garden and the city outside the window had taken on new colors. I regretted a bit not watching the sunset from the room last night; the view in this direction must have been beautiful. Right below the hotel is the East Imperial Garden, and I took a walk there in the morning, like a large park. If you're short on time and want to see more of Tokyo's attractions, the East Imperial Garden need not be the top choice.
