Peninsula – five-star hotel in Tokyo

Location

It is already known that location is extremely important when choosing where to stay. In a giant city like Tokyo, even more so. Because Península has a sublime address, in the neighborhood of Marunouchi, neighboring the elegant Ginza. From there, you can walk to several open-air shopping centers, for example, as well as bars and restaurants. Ultimately, the options are endless. You can spend days there, eating and drinking very well and you won’t have even seen half of the establishments. Furthermore, he stays in front of the Imperial Palace and Hibiya Park. In other words, the result is a landscape that mixes urbanism with nature.

Upon arriving at Peninsula, a five-star hotel in Tokyo, opened in 2007, guests can already feel the elegance in the air. The imposing lobby features a beautiful babu sculpture by artist Keisen Hama. It represents a protective dragon against evil spirits. Furthermore, it is strategically positioned underneath a suspended lamp with eleven thousand LED bulbs.

Furthermore, the closet was wonderful, divided into two sides and very spacious.

This five-star hotel in Tokyo has three restaurants: grill, one Cantonese and the third, international. Peter Grill, open for both lunch and dinner, surprises with its magnificent view of Tokyo from 24th walk and exuberant decor. On the menu, fresh cuts of meat and seafood, including dry-aged Japanese beef and grilled scallops from Hokkaido. I had a splendid dinner there, where everything was impeccable, from the burrata, to the scallops and the succulent meat to dessert. Furthermore, the exquisite service cannot be overlooked either. In fact, I liked the Peter Grill bar so much that I went back the next day for a drink.
