Plaza Deluxe King Room in South Wing – Non-Smoking at Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo

Opened in May 1971 and identified as Japan’s first skyscraper hotel, the property helped establish Nishi-Shinjuku as a modern business district.

The original tower rose approximately 170 metres above ground and was described for a period as Tokyo’s tallest building.

Restaurants and lounges are arranged across the 2nd, 3rd and 7th floors, creating a large multi-level dining collection within the towers.

The Sky Pool occupies the 7th floor and operates seasonally rather than throughout the year.

The hotel has 32 banquet rooms, comprising 3 large, 8 medium and 21 small rooms, plus one chapel.

Business-events listings identify a further 20 meeting rooms alongside the main banquet inventory.

Premier Grand guests can reserve complimentary meeting-room use for up to two hours.

The dining portfolio includes Teppan-yaki Yamanami, Tempura Shun, Sushi Kyubey, Japanese cuisine Kagari and Soba Fumotoya.

Additional venues include Super Buffet Glass Court, Chinese Cuisine Nan-en, All Day Dining Jurin, Cocktail & Tea Lounge and Art Lounge Duet.

The walk from Shinjuku Station’s West Exit through the underground passageway toward the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building takes about five minutes.
