Quick Verdict: Shinjuku Granbell Hotel vs Shangri-La Tokyo

When Shinjuku Granbell Hotel wins: choose Granbell if you want to stay in the heart of Kabukicho for nightlife, prefer creatively designed compact rooms, value a late-night rooftop bar and want easier access to Shinjuku attractions on a lower nightly budget.

See all photos →

Location: Kabukicho vs Marunouchi/Tokyo Station

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Location

Shinjuku Granbell sits in Kabukicho, a 4-minute walk from Higashi-Shinjuku Station and steps from Shinjuku nightlife.

  • Immediate access to bars, arcades and late-night streets of Kabukicho and Golden Gai (about 5 minutes’ walk).
  • Close to Samurai Museum, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and convenient transport links to wider Tokyo.
  • Good base for night-focused itineraries and easy connections to Shinjuku transport hubs.

Choose Granbell if you want to be inside Shinjuku’s entertainment district and close to late-night venues.

Shangri-La Tokyo – Location

Shangri‑La Tokyo is located in Marunouchi near Tokyo Station, convenient for business, transfers and visits to the Imperial Palace.

  • Immediate access to Tokyo Station (walking distance to major rail and Shinkansen services).
  • Close to the Imperial Palace East Gardens, Tokyo International Forum and Ginza shopping.
  • Better for travelers with early/late train travel needs or business meetings near Marunouchi.

Choose Shangri‑La for the fastest rail connections and a central, quieter city location near Tokyo Station.

Rooms: compact creative rooms vs larger luxury rooms

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Rooms

Granbell’s rooms are creative, designer-led and compact, with Simmons beds and a wide list of room types.

  • 27 room types with designer interiors and some loft/ground-floor options and suites.
  • Standard rooms are compact and do not include in-room minibars per independent reviews.
  • Executive Rooms and Suites include access to a Club Lounge.

Granbell offers distinctive small-footprint rooms for travelers who prioritize design and location over space.

Shangri-La Tokyo – Rooms

Shangri‑La’s guestrooms are larger, more traditionally luxurious and include premium bedding and in-room amenities.

  • 200 individually furnished guestrooms with minibars, refrigerators and premium bedding.
  • Room types include Deluxe, Premier, Horizon Club and Executive Suites with garden-view and club options.
  • Complimentary wired and wireless internet and 42-inch flat-screen TVs are standard.

Shangri‑La is the choice if you want more space, higher-end in-room amenities and club-level services.

Dining & drinks: casual French/Italian and rooftop vs multiple formal dining options

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Dining & drinks

Shinjuku Granbell groups its dining into three on-site venues focused on casual to late-night service.

  • restaurant G (12F) serves French & Italian cuisine and a paid Japanese/Western buffet breakfast.
  • roof top bar & terrace G (13F) runs late hours with panoramic Shinjuku views and a V.I.P. private room.
  • live cafe G (1F) serves coffee, draft beer and light meals during daytime hours.

Granbell nails casual dining and a lively rooftop bar for evenings in Kabukicho.

Shangri-La Tokyo – Dining & drinks

Shangri‑La Tokyo offers full-service dining, 24-hour room service and multiple restaurant and bar outlets.

  • Two on-site restaurants and one bar/lounge; cooked-to-order breakfast available for a surcharge.
  • 24-hour room service and a coffee shop/cafe for snacks and casual drinks.
  • Formal dining options suit business meals and refined evenings near Tokyo Station.

Shangri‑La provides broader, more formal dining options and round-the-clock room service for luxury stays.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop terrace vs full-service spa & indoor pool

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

Granbell’s key amenity is its 13th-floor rooftop bar and terrace with city views; there is no on-site pool.

  • roof top bar & terrace G is open late and offers panoramic views over Shinjuku.
  • No on-site swimming pool; nearby public onsen (Thermae-Yu) is within a short walk but is separate from the hotel.
  • Rooftop also works as an event and photography space (rentable).

If a rooftop nightlife scene is your priority, Granbell covers it — but it lacks pool facilities.

Shangri-La Tokyo – Pools & signature amenity

Shangri‑La’s signature amenities include a full-service spa, indoor pool and a 24-hour health club.

  • Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials (reservations required).
  • Indoor pool and hot tub plus steam room/sauna and 24-hour fitness facilities.
  • Spa, pool and fitness facilities support both leisure and business travelers needing on-site wellness.

Choose Shangri‑La if you want an on-site pool and a dedicated spa and fitness program.

Wellness & nightlife: on-site late-night rooftop vs nearby entertainment and formal wellness

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Granbell is positioned for nightlife with late opening hours at its rooftop bar and close proximity to Kabukicho venues.

  • Rooftop bar open late (official hours published; hours can extend to early morning on some nights).
  • Steps from Kabukicho, Golden Gai and many late-night restaurants and bars.
  • No on-site spa or gym — massage service available by request for a fee.

Granbell is better for late-night socializing; it doesn’t compete with Shangri‑La on formal wellness offerings.

Shangri-La Tokyo – Wellness & nightlife

Shangri‑La combines quieter evenings with an emphasis on spa, pool and fitness facilities for relaxation.

  • Spa treatments require reservations; the hotel provides event and concierge services for wellness bookings.
  • Indoor pool and health club provide on-site options for exercise and recovery after long travel or meetings.
  • Location near Marunouchi and the Imperial Palace makes evening options more subdued than Kabukicho.

Shangri‑La is the stronger pick for wellness and quieter evening routines; it is less suited to Kabukicho-style nightlife.
