Shinjuku Central Park sits directly across the street, while Tochomae Station is a four-minute walk for quick subway connections across Tokyo.
The rooms
Uncluttered interiors accent calm wood finishes with deep blue tones, framing elevated views over the park trees and skyline.
The gym
The first-floor fitness room has Technogym cardio machines and weight benches, and tokyobike cruisers are available for exploring Tokyo.
Restaurant
MORETHAN BAKERY
Bakers turn out fresh baguettes and shokupan every morning, and the counter serves made-to-order pressed grilled cheese sandwiches.
At the table
Upstairs, Morethan Grill cooks Kyushu beef in a Josper oven. Downstairs, the lounge pours natural wines and mixed drinks.
How it began
Originally built in 1978 as the Shinjuku New City Hotel, the property was completely reimagined in 2018 as a parkside hub.
