Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo – Review & Photos

About 10 minutes on foot from the south exit of Shinjuku Station along the Koshu Highway, there was “Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo”, the first luxury lifestyle hotel from the United States to land in Japan.

This is the entrance along the Koshu Highway.

Hotel sign at the entrance.

The entrance seen from the inside.

When you enter the entrance, you will see “Welcome back” art in front of you. It seems that the feeling of returning to the hotel is expressed in the languages ​​of 195 countries.

There was a front desk on the right side of the entrance.

It was not a luxury front desk, but a sophisticated, lean and simple desk. It’s a space where everyday life in NY naturally falls, and it matches the glitter of Shinjuku, and I felt very comfortable.

Next to the front counter was a welcome board with a picture of a dog and their names on it. These are the dogs staying at this hotel on this day.

The state of the lobby. Once you step in, it feels like you’re in NY, and it’s a wonderful space that makes you forget you’re in Japan.

The lobby was not big, but there was a space where you could relax with stylish sofas and tables like this.

There was a large floor-to-ceiling window at the back of the room. The curtain can be opened and closed with the touch of a button next to the bed.

The view was not the best, but it overlooked the prosperous city of Shinjuku. In front of my room was Bunka Fashion College.

The night view was very nice.

The bathroom was behind sliding doors.

The bathroom was equipped with a bathtub and sink, and the walls were made of stone tiles, giving it a luxurious feel. However, water leaked from the glass door.

There were two types of showers: an overhead shower and a height-adjustable / removable hand shower.

The water pressure wasn’t weak, but it wasn’t strong either.

Atelier Bloem, shampoo, conditioner and body soap were installed beside the shower. There were also bath salts prepared next to the shower.

There was a toilet in a separate room.

Breakfast is served at the main dining “District” on the 2nd floor or at the cafe & bar “The Jones” on the 1st floor. I had breakfast at “The Jones.”

“The Jones” was a cute cafe.

This is the inside of the showcase at night.

This is the morning showcase. Salads, bagels, sandwiches, cakes, etc. were lined up.

For breakfast, I ordered a king crab sandwich and Western-style porridge. It was a little expensive, but very delicious.

I ordered bread at “The Jones” as well.

At the select shop in the corner of the lobby, candles, accessories, dog clothes, folding fans, bags, plates, etc. were exhibited like an art gallery and could be purchased.

Street in front of the hotel.

I had the impression that there were more families with pets. I felt that there were few young couples and there were relatively many wealthy people.
