Hotel Gracery Shinjuku

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku is in Kabukicho, the busy entertainment district of Shinjuku, and it is easy to spot thanks to the giant creature head on its roof. It suits first-time visitors, families and groups who want to be right in the middle of the action, with restaurants, bars, cinemas and shops on the doorstep. Shinjuku Station is within comfortable reach for onward travel.

Rooms are compact and practical, in the way many Tokyo city hotels are, and the hotel is known for a breakfast that guests often praise. The atmosphere is fun and lively, with the pop-culture theme adding personality. It is more about convenience and character than quiet luxury, and families and groups tend to find it a good-value place to base themselves.

Shinjuku Station connects the JR network, subway lines and long-distance buses, so day trips and airport transfers are simple. The surrounding streets are noisy and bright late into the night, so ask for a higher or quieter room if you are a light sleeper. Bed sizes and room layouts vary, so check the details for families and larger groups before you reserve.
