Our take
Chinzanso is the pick in Tokyo for a garden and a hot spring rather than a rooftop bar. The hotel sits within a historic Japanese garden, rooms look over the garden or the city, and YU The Spa has traditional hot-spring baths and an open-air heated tub with skyline views. An indoor pool and three dining options complete it, and guests rate it 9.4 from 805 reviews. For cocktails and music on a roof, I would look elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Book a room with a city view to fully appreciate Tokyo's skyline from your private space, especially at dusk.
- ✓Dedicate an afternoon to YU The Spa; the open-air heated hot tub offers a unique, calming perspective on the surroundings.
- ✓Explore the historic Japanese garden in the early morning for a peaceful start to your day before the city awakens.

Why guests love itTwo friends on a wellness trip picked Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo for the garden rather than the nightlife, and it paid off. Mornings started with laps in the indoor pool under natural light, afternoons ended at YU The Spa with a hot-spring bath, and after dark they lingered in the open-air heated tub while the city glowed beyond the trees. Anyone hoping for a cocktail-and-music rooftop would find the evenings very quiet here.
