Accommodation in Tokyo is not always ideally suited to travelling with children. Rooms can often be small or spaces feel a little too quiet and sophisticated. However, our hotel experts have found the best family hotels in Tokyo. Whether you prefer that sought-after Japanese minimalist aesthetic, something traditional, or contemporary Western design - there is plenty to choose from. So why not browse through our list to start planning your next stay?
For family rooms

- It comes as no surprise that Muji has created a chic contemporary space in the heart of Tokyo. Muji Hotel Ginza is located atop its flagship store - expect minimalist spaces beautifully styled with blonde wood, high-end technology and warm lighting. Complete with family rooms and a policy of one child under 12 staying for free - this is a great family option.
- Park Hotel Tokyo is a very cool stay. Contemporary and packed full of modern art - kids will love the vibrant murals. Don't expect this hotel to be jammed full of families, however, there is a family-friendly ethos and premium corner rooms have sofa beds to accommodate children.
- Dai Ichi Hotel is located in the heart of the city in the Ginza district. Rooms are spacious and Western in their design. The central location makes this a good base for families wanting to easily explore the city while there are a wide choice of accommodation options to suit children of all ages.
- Hotel Gajoen is a luxury hotel with a unique style that mixes Japanese and Western design. Most of the spacious rooms can accommodate families and there is an acclaimed Chinese restaurant too.
For a luxury stay

- One@Tokyo is a luxury stay designed by Kengo Kuma, in downtown Oshiage, east Tokyo. Luxury and children are not two things that always go together but this is a hip modern space with a laid back vibe and the loft rooms and suites can accommodate up to two accompanying children.
- Keio Plaza Hotel is a luxury skyscraper hotel in the heart of the city. Kids (and adults) will love the rooftop pool while the astonishing fifteen restaurants will ensure even the fussiest of eaters are satisfied.
- The Capitol Hotel is another luxury offering located right by the Imperial Palace and boasting views of Mount Fuji. The interiors are minimalist and there is an extraordinarily good spa (complete with a large indoor pool). A wide range of accommodation options are on offer for families and a cute sleeping pack of pyjamas, slippers and toothbrushes are offered for kids.

- Mandarin Oriental is a modern and sleek hotel located high within a tower and offering wonderful views. With a concierge that will direct guests to child-friendly activities in the city or organise for a room to be sound proofed - families are in very good hands.
For onsite child care

- Cerulean Tower Hotel is located at the top of the Cerulean Tower in Shibuya. There's a choice of twelve restaurants meaning there is something for all tastes. An on site child care service is offered throughout the day for nursery age children giving parents a little time to themselves!
