Location: Shinjuku nightlife vs Central Hibiya/Ginza

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Location

Shinjuku Granbell sits in Kabukicho, convenient for late-night dining and bars.

  • About a 4-minute walk from Higashi-Shinjuku subway station; close to Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho.
  • Great for guests who plan to spend evenings in Shinjuku’s entertainment district.
  • Easy access to Shinjuku Station (roughly a 10–15 minute walk) and train connections for day trips.

Pick Granbell if you want to be in the heart of Shinjuku’s nightlife and near quick subway links.

Imperial Hotel, Tokyo – Location

Imperial Hotel is in Uchisaiwaicho, a short walk from Hibiya Park and close to Ginza.

  • Steps from Hibiya Park and within walking distance of Ginza shopping and the Tokyo Imperial Palace.
  • Central position makes it convenient for business districts, theatre, and upscale dining.
  • Transfer services (airport/train pick-up) are available for a surcharge; front desk open 24 hours.

Choose Imperial for a quieter, centrally located base with easy access to Ginza and government/business areas.

Rooms: compact designer rooms vs large classic rooms

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Rooms

Granbell’s rooms are design-focused and often compact; several themed and loft-style room types are offered.

  • 27 room types with designer interiors and Simmons beds; some Executive rooms and suites include Club Lounge access.
  • Standard rooms are noted as small in independent reviews; minibars are not provided.
  • Breakfast is available for a surcharge and rooms include free Wi‑Fi.

Granbell suits travelers who prioritize design and location over large room footprints.

Imperial Hotel, Tokyo – Rooms

Imperial’s guestrooms are larger, numerous, and fitted for traditional luxury stays.

  • 918 guestrooms with premium bedding, refrigerators and complimentary wired/wireless internet.
  • Many room types and larger suites are typical of a full-service city palace hotel.
  • Standard check-in requirements and incidental-hold policies apply; check-in begins at 2:00 PM.

Imperial is better if you want more spacious rooms and the consistency of a large luxury hotel.

Dining & drinks: rooftop cocktails vs a wide restaurant portfolio

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Dining & drinks

Shinjuku Granbell concentrates dining into three signature outlets, including a prominent rooftop bar.

  • restaurant G (12F) serves French & Italian dishes and a paid Japanese/Western buffet breakfast.
  • roof top bar & terrace G (13F) is a major draw — open late most nights with city views and a private room option.
  • live cafe G (1F) offers coffee, beer and light meals with a garden terrace.

Granbell’s food and drink scene is focused, with a rooftop bar that’s central to the hotel’s appeal.

Imperial Hotel, Tokyo – Dining & drinks

Imperial offers many on-site dining options spanning cuisines and formality levels.

  • Eight restaurants and two bars/lounges, including French dining at Les Saisons and multiple cafes.
  • Room service and cooked-to-order breakfasts are available for a surcharge.
  • Good choice for guests who prefer to dine on-site or host business meals at hotel restaurants.

Pools & signature amenities: none vs full-service facilities

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Pools & signature amenities

Granbell does not have an on-site pool or a named spa.

  • No on-site swimming pool or fitness center; an in-room massage service is available for a fee.
  • Nearby public onsen (Thermae-Yu) is within walking distance but is a separate facility.
  • On-site conveniences include coin laundry, luggage storage and 24-hour front desk.

If an on-site pool or spa matters, Granbell is not the right fit.

Imperial Hotel, Tokyo – Pools & signature amenities

Imperial provides on-site wellness facilities and more extensive service offerings.

  • Indoor pool, hot tub and sauna are listed among the hotel’s recreational amenities.
  • 24-hour fitness facilities, spa services on site, and multilingual concierge services.
  • Extensive business services, valet/parking options and transport surcharges for airport/train pickup.

Imperial suits guests who want full-service wellness and larger hotel amenities.

Wellness & nightlife: rooftop nights vs formal relaxation

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Granbell’s nightlife offering centers on the rooftop bar and proximity to Shinjuku’s entertainment.

  • roof top bar & terrace G stays open late and is a primary nightlife venue for hotel guests.
  • Nearby Golden Gai and countless bars are within walking distance.
  • No on-site spa or gym means nightlife and nearby public baths/onsen provide after-hours options.

Granbell is better for guests planning evening outings and rooftop drinks.

Imperial Hotel, Tokyo – Wellness & nightlife

Imperial focuses on measured, full-service relaxation and formal evening dining.

  • On-site spa services, pool and sauna support daytime relaxation and recovery.
  • Hotel bars and restaurants provide refined evening options without venturing into nightclub districts.
  • Concierge can assist with theatre bookings and formal reservations in Ginza and nearby areas.

Imperial is the pick if you want hotel-based wellness and formal evenings rather than late-night clubbing.
