Best Hotels in Roppongi, Tokyo

How We Picked These Hotels

Every hotel on this list has been individually evaluated against three criteria: location quality, recent guest sentiment, and value at its price point. We cross-reference Booking.com, Google reviews and local Japanese travel sources, and we exclude properties with declining recent reviews — even if they have a long-running brand reputation. Our top-rated pick on this list is The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo at 9.4/10 — and our best budget choice is Hotel Villa Fontaine Roppongi for travellers prioritising value.

Booking Tips for Japan

Japan's hotel market is among the world's most efficient — but it has unique quirks. First, book early: cherry-blossom season (late March to mid-April), Golden Week (late April to early May) and autumn foliage (mid-October to late November) sell out 2–6 months ahead. Second, ryokan rates almost always include kaiseki dinner and breakfast — so a ryokan at ¥45,000/night is usually cheaper per-couple than a luxury hotel at ¥30,000/night plus ¥20,000 in dining. Third, business hotels (APA, Toyoko Inn, Daiwa Roynet) offer the world's best mid-budget reliability and most include free breakfast — they are not glamorous, but they are excellent.

When to Visit

Late March to early April brings sakura — the most beautiful but most expensive season. Early summer (June) is rainy but quiet and atmospheric. July and August are hot and humid in cities; the highlands and Hokkaido are perfect. Mid-October to late November delivers autumn foliage with stable, mild weather. December to February is quiet and cheap in cities, with peak ski season in Hokkaido and the Japanese Alps. Whatever season you choose, our recommended hotels above will give you a memorable Japan experience.
