The Hotel Guide Director says
The distinguished Imperial Hotel, which first opened its doors in 1890, is a large city hotel with 1,019 rooms, 13 restaurants, 4 bars and lounge located in Hibiya, Tokyo.
I stayed in one of the "Superior Twin Rooms," located on the Hibiya Park side of the main building (approximately 42m2), but compared to other modern hotels the guest room was quite simple and the bathroom not that spacious.
However, the staff was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised throughout my stay by the fast and friendly service! I was particularly impressed by how much the staff seemed to enjoy their jobs. I had many questions and requests before and during my stay, and the service was always wonderful.
 At 42m2, this simple wood-accented beige-toned room is more than enough for 2 people. There is a nice little view of Hibiya Park from the window. |
Guest Room (Main Building Superior Twin Room)
My wife was very happy with the dresser located next to the window, saying it made the room brighter and convenient. I requested a DVD player when I made my reservation, so it was already set up and ready when we arrived in the room. I should mention that the DVD player rental was free, and VCRs, CD and MD Players were also available for rent.
English tea, green tea and coffee were also complimentary. Electricity outlets and a fax line were available. An internet modem was also set up, so that if you have a network terminal (10/100BASE) or a LAN card, internet is available free of charge.
 The bathroom is a little small but very clean. The toilet had a bidet. |
Bathroom
Compared to the spacious main room, the bathroom, which included a sink, toilet and bath, felt rather cramped. There was no shower booth. However, it was very clean, and there were more than enough towels available. Shampoo, rinse, shower gel, soap, toothbrushes, hairbrush, comb, cotton swabs, shower caps, shaving foam, razor, and body towels were available. A women's bathroom set was also available upon request, and included face wash, toner and moisturizer. Bathrobes are also available.
 Buttermilk Pancakes with Seasonal Fruits, a classic Imperial Hotel dish |
Teatime
At Eureka, the caf? and restaurant located on the first floor of the main building, I ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes with Seasonal Fruits set (1,890yen including tax, service charge not included), which came with either coffee or tea. This dish was introduced to their menu in 1953, where it remains a favorite to this day.
The cake set (1,365 yen including tax, service charge not included), in which a few cake choices can be sampled along with a choice of coffee or tea, also looked good. Of course refills of coffee or tea are free.
 Room service is available 24 hours aday. Here we ordered beef curry, a hamburger steak sandwich, and cream-of-corn soup. |
Here is a selection from the morning buffet at The Imperial Viking Sal. The chef prepares your omelets for you right before your eyes.
