an enormous hotel of 882 rooms, Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba caters to the needs of every guest with its in-house art gallery, shops, bars, swimming pools, hair salons, restaurants and much more.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Daiba Station sits right outside, and waterfront promenades wind through Shiokaze Park along the edge of the bay.
The rooms
North-facing rooms look directly onto the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo skyline, with marble bathrooms stocked with Imabari cotton towels.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter indoor lap pool sits behind tall windows, joined in summer by a curved outdoor pool lined with loungers.
The spa & gym
Restaurant
Teppanyaki Icho
Chefs grill seasonal Japanese beef at curved teppan counters high above Tokyo Bay and the illuminated city skyline.
The Bar & Lounge
Bartenders pour cocktails and spirits along a polished wooden counter thirty floors above Tokyo Bay.
At the table
The pastry shop bakes fresh bread under crystal chandeliers, and lower-level dining rooms serve daily buffets.
How it began
Planned for the cancelled 1996 World City Expo, construction paused mid-build before the tower finally opened in 1998.
