Located in the up-and-coming neighbourhood of Tomigaya, an area filled with stylish young families, independent boutiques and small cafes, the hotel is named after one of Tokyo’s green spaces. A popular destination during cherry blossom season and in the autumn, when its zelkova trees turn red, Yoyogi Park is right at the hotel’s doorstep. All of the property’s accommodation – 20 rooms and five suites – come with terraces, some of them directly overlooking the park.

Live out your old-school Cali motel dreams in style at Palihotel Hollywood

Co-designed by Keiji Ashizawa Design in collaboration with Danish firm Norm Architects, the hotel seamlessly blends with its green surroundings, while also combining the best of Japanese and Scandinavian design. A soothing palette of earthy tones and wood furniture anchor the decor – but to truly appreciate the way the building embraces the park, you have to head to the Trunk (Pool Club). Located on the sixth floor, the outdoor space features a heated infinity pool, a jacuzzi and a restaurant lounge that only hotel guests can access. Needless to say, the views of the park are spectacular.

For a hearty meal, you can’t miss out on the Italian fare served at Pizzeria e Trattoria L’Ombelico, which is always buzzing with beautiful Tokyoites who can’t get enough of the wood-fired oven-baked Neapolitan pizzas on the menu.
