Need a pick up from Narita Airport? The hotel has its own fleet of Rolls Royces and BMW limousines. A ride from the airport in a Rolls is $700 (70,000 yen) one way, double that for a round trip. Feeling cheap? Use one of the BMWs – it’s only $600 (60,000 yen) one way.
Rolls Royce limos can be used for airport pickup or rented by the hour for cruising around the city.
Imperial Hotel Tokyo
The Imperial Hotel Tokyo Lobby
The Imperial Hotel Tokyo is Japan’s most famous hotel. The original hotel opened in 1890 and was financed by the Japanese imperial palace. This was replaced 30 years later by one designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Service at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo is the standard by which all other hotels in the city are measured.
History and service are what make the Imperial Hotel Tokyo special.
Rooms at the Tokyo Imperial Hotel start at a modest $378 (37,800 yen). However, a night in one of the top suites at Tokyo’s oldest and most famous luxury hotel will set you back a cool $10,500 (1,050,000 yen).
