Hotel 1899 brings together Japanese tradition and modern luxury to create boutique accommodation for the discerning traveller.  We loved the open and light guestrooms complete with five star amenities, deep soaking bathtubs, and comfortable beds.  The staff are friendly and informative ensuring guests have all they need throughout their stay.  The lobby houses a gift shop where you can pick up artisanal Japanese tea and hotel guests are treated to a matcha tea ceremony.  Chaya, on the ground floor, serves mouthwatering healthy Japanese fare and we loved the buffet breakfast each morning compete with local specialties, freshly baked pastries and fragrant coffee and tea.  Located in the Shinbashi area you’re within walking distance to a vibrant neighborhood as well as a subway which allows easy transportation to all the sights of Tokyo.  A perfect choice for those who crave modern luxury and Japanese charm in a tranquil boutique property.
