Family-Friendly Hotels
Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi (p. 90) If money is no object
(though children 18 and under can stay in their parents' room at no extra
charge), little princes and princesses receive the royal treatment here, includ-
ing a welcome amenity, child-size robes, children's menus, complimentary
toiletries, and bedtime cookies and milk. And for those hard-to-please teenag-
ers, there's even free use of TV video games. The Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo
at Chinzan-So has a similar offer.
Hotel New Otani (p. 101) This huge hotel has an outdoor pool (which you
can use free of charge by becoming a Hotel Club member), but best for
parents is the babysitting room for children ages 1 month to 5 years. For a
small fortune, you can even leave the darlings overnight.
Imperial Hotel (p. 98) This famous hotel makes it easier to bring the family
along, with its day-care center for children ages 2 weeks to 6 years, its baby-
sitting service, and an indoor pool, which you can use free of charge by
becoming a member of the Imperial Club.
Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo (p. 101) A children's day-care center for children 2
months and older, and free admission to an outdoor pool with children's pool
are family pleasers, but if that's not enough, maybe the kids will find it cool
to stay in one of Tokyo's tallest hotels.
Shinagawa Prince Hotel (p. 112) Japan's largest hotel boasts a children's
day-care center, cinema complex, amusement arcade, indoor and outdoor
pools, aquarium, bowling alley, sports center, and much more.

ROPPONGI & AKASAKA
Grand Hyatt Tokyo Depending on the surrounding Roppongi Hills devel-
opment with its 200-some shops and restaurants to act as a major draw, this ambitious
hotel wows with a wide range of recreational and dining facilities, as well as technically
