Best Boutique Hotels in Ginza
Famed for its shopping and entertainment, the ritzy neighbourhood of Ginza is home to upmarket boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants (there are more here than in any other part of Tokyo). But alongside its wide and neon-lit boulevards, you can explore little alleyways containing traditional izakaya bars, local-frequented ramen joints and trendy independent shops. Notable landmarks in the area include the Tsukiji Fish Market, Hakuhinkan Toy Park, the Kabukiza Theatre, the Nakagin Capsule and the Wako Department Store. The district is also close to the bullet train station, for access to Kyoto, Osaka and beyond. Here are our favourite 5-star and luxury hotels in the area.

FUFU Tokyo Ginza
(5 stars)
TLE Recommends: Book dinner with the seasonal pairing course for an exceptional experience of Japanese wines and sake matched to each dish. Enjoy the rooftop lounge Yusora, where you can sip wine with your feet in hot spring water while watching the Ginza skyline sparkle.
FUFU Tokyo Ginza opened in November 2025, bringing the brand’s celebrated onsen resort philosophy to the heart of Tokyo’s most sophisticated district. Just steps from Ginza’s flagship boutiques and sparkling towers, yet hidden on a quiet side street, this is a property that values discretion and privacy. Every suite features a private garden balcony, a hot spring bath fed by waters from FUFU Atami, and meals served in the privacy of one’s own dining room. With just 34 suites across five floors, it feels less like a city hotel and more like a ryokan in the sky
