I don't understand why this old hotel is so highly evaluated. Just old and ordinary

The Imperial exudes a uniquely Japanese welcome - they don't think like the chain hotel manuals, and it shows. Surprises. Some thrilling, some confusing. You feel like you are the only guest sometimes. They can anticipate more than you want them to sometimes. Imperial Floor rooms have self filling bathtubs and music while it's done, and every conceivable gadget, a la japonais. Incredible beds! These top level rooms are expensive -- about the same as 5 star hotels in Paris or London. But Imperial Hotel isn't gaudy, and you can sense its coolly understated Frank Lloyd Wright history from the decor. They bow to you contsnatly and know your name. And your habits. Like a ryokan almost. The food is also expensive - but their quietly sumptuous and non-flashy (and not very French-looking) French restaurant Saisons is probably the most delicious place to eat in the whole city. Try French toast from baguettes for breakfast. Bring money. The exterior of this hotel needs sprucing up. And some of the guests seems snobbish. But when you check put (and recover from the bill) you feel you have experienced some kind of Japanese living legend. The cookie-cutter Hiltons, Hyatts, Peninsulas and Westins just cannot compare, although they are often more modern.

It is an excellent option, however is a little expensive. Service is the best.

This place is great. Clean, great service. I felt like royalty. Tobad it was only for a week. If I could I would live there.

I used to spend a night or two with my dad when I was on my trip to visit my relatives here ( a very long time ago when I used to live in the US ). Anyway, from what I recall during my stay 20 years ago when I was just a kid, the rooms were very roomy, beds were very comfortable, the concierge was very beautiful. It was one moment I will not forget!

Imperial hotel is excellent location and perfect services .The price was not cheap instead i could spend great hotel life in Tokyo !! especially , that hotel has a lot of restaurants and shops in basement of the hotel . ( excellent international restaurants , flower shop , drug store and book store etc...)

I been there quite long time ago. However it was one of histrical japanese traditional hotel indeed. Food was excelent service was very nice and just bit expensive of cost! I was most gorgerous time at there and wish back again sometime.

I didn't like some of the public spaces and the ever so faint air of snottiness among the other guests (not the staff). The food at Les Saisons has to be both the best in Japan - beyond description - and the costliest! Wandering around you discover hidden pockets of Frank Lloyd Wright design. Service is almost too much, but always gracious.
