Location: Shibuya convenience vs Marunouchi calm

Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu – Location

Shibuya Excel sits inside Shibuya Mark City with direct access to Shibuya Station and a short walk to major Shibuya sights.

  • Directly above Shibuya Station — JR Yamanote, Tokyo Metro and Tokyu lines accessible without going outside.
  • About 120 m to Shibuya Scramble Crossing and roughly 230 m to SHIBUYA SKY observation deck.
  • Close to shopping and nightlife (Shibuya 109, Center‑Gai), plus easy day‑trip rail links to Yokohama and Kamakura.

Choose Shibuya Excel if you want maximum walkability to Shibuya’s main attractions and train connections.

Palace Hotel Tokyo – Location

Palace Hotel Tokyo sits on Marunouchi near Wadakura Fountain Park and the Imperial Palace East Gardens.

  • Steps from Wadakura Fountain Park and within an easy walk of the Imperial Palace East Gardens and Marunouchi Building.
  • A quieter base than Shibuya with close access to business districts and central Tokyo landmarks.
  • Supplier listing identifies Haneda as the preferred airport and notes limo/town car service availability.

Choose Palace Hotel Tokyo for a calmer, centrally located luxury stay near the Imperial Palace and Marunouchi business district.

Rooms: practical options vs formal luxury rooms

Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu – Rooms

Shibuya Excel offers a wide range of room configurations aimed at business travelers and families.

  • 408 rooms across 25 floors, including twin, double, triple and quad room types.
  • Special floors include a Ladies' Floor and a premium Excel Floor on upper levels.
  • In-room WiFi is complimentary; breakfast is available for an additional surcharge.

Good choice for groups and families who need flexible room layouts and direct station access.

Palace Hotel Tokyo – Rooms

Palace Hotel Tokyo provides fewer rooms with a focus on space and luxury touches.

  • 284 guestrooms with refrigerators, LCD TVs, and laptop-compatible safes.
  • Bathrooms with separate tubs and rainfall showerheads; complimentary wired and wireless internet.
  • Digital programming and conveniences such as limo/town car service and concierge services.

Expect more formal luxury-room amenities and quieter rooms near the palace grounds.

Dining & drinks: Shibuya views vs refined palace dining

Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu – Dining & drinks

Shibuya Excel centers its dining on high-floor city views and a cafe lounge overlooking the Scramble Crossing.

  • Two high-floor restaurants on the 25th floor (new SHIBUYA PANORAMA concept including Bistro A bientôt and an 8-seat sushi counter opening Nov 30, 2026).
  • Estacion Café lounge on the 5th floor overlooks Shibuya Scramble Crossing and serves morning to evening menus and afternoon tea.
  • In-room dining available from 11:00 AM until last order at 8:30 PM.

Pick Shibuya Excel for restaurants with panoramic Shibuya views and a cafe that looks out onto the Scramble Crossing.

Palace Hotel Tokyo – Dining & drinks

Palace Hotel Tokyo offers formal dining and multiple bars with palace-side views.

  • ESTERRE specializes in French cuisine; dining options include a coffee shop/cafe and 3 bars/lounges.
  • Full breakfasts available daily (surcharge) and 24-hour room service is provided.
  • Complimentary newspapers in the lobby and concierge assist with reservations and local guidance.

Choose Palace Hotel for refined dining options and multiple bar/lounge settings in a formal hotel environment.

Pools & signature amenity

Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu – Pools & signature amenity

Shibuya Excel is an urban property without a guest swimming pool.

  • No confirmed swimming pool — the hotel focuses on location and dining rather than resort amenities.
  • Guests can use a small on-site fitness room on the 6th floor (2 treadmills, 1 training machine, balance ball).
  • Pool seekers should plan for day trips out of the city (beaches and onsen areas are reachable by train/bus).

Not a fit for travelers prioritizing on-site pool time; best for location and transit access.

Palace Hotel Tokyo – Pools & signature amenity

Palace Hotel Tokyo includes an indoor pool as part of its on-site wellness offerings.

  • Indoor pool listed among featured amenities and pool access hours noted by the supplier (pool available 6:30 AM–10:00 PM).
  • Spa treatment rooms and a full-service spa complement the pool; sauna is also available.
  • 24-hour fitness facilities extend on-site wellness options for guests.

Palace Hotel Tokyo is the better option for guests who expect an on-site pool and a full spa program.

Wellness & nightlife

Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu – Wellness & nightlife

Shibuya Excel emphasizes convenient access to Shibuya nightlife over in-hotel wellness.

  • Close walk to bars, clubs and late-night dining across Shibuya; the hotel itself has one lounge (Estacion Café) for evening drinks.
  • Fitness room is available for current guests; no confirmed on-site spa services.
  • Good for travelers who plan to use city wellness and nightlife rather than hotel spa facilities.

Stay here if you plan to use Tokyo’s nightlife and don’t need an on-site spa or pool.

Palace Hotel Tokyo – Wellness & nightlife

Palace Hotel Tokyo provides a full-service spa and a calmer evening environment with multiple lounges.

  • Full-service spa, sauna and spa treatment rooms listed on the supplier listing.
  • Three bars/lounges offer quieter evening options compared with Shibuya’s street nightlife.
  • Concierge and limo/town car services support arranging off-site wellness or evening plans.

Choose Palace Hotel if you want an on-site spa and quieter, more formal evening settings.
