With the growing number of international tourists visiting Japan, Shibuya is experiencing a boom in hotel expansion.
Amid this competitive landscape, the CERULEAN TOWER TOKYU HOTEL has maintained its reputation as a top choice for discerning travelers seeking an exceptional stay.
Why does this particular hotel continue to stand out in Shibuya, a hub of such diverse accommodations? Let’s explore its enduring charm through three key points.
1. Luxurious rooms and unparalleled experiences
Perched on the 19th floor and above, all guest rooms at the hotel boast breathtaking views that have been a hallmark of the property since its opening.
Guests can enjoy relaxing moments while taking in the Tokyo cityscape, which transforms beautifully from day to night.
All 404 rooms are divided into three types of floors: Standard, Cerulean, and Executive. Common to all rooms is a design concept blending simplicity with modern Japanese aesthetics, exuding Japan’s refined sense of beauty.
Junior Suite FUJI
Particularly rich in Japanese aesthetics is the Junior Suite FUJI on the Executive Floor. With its tatami living area, slippers designed after zōri sandals, and wall paintings of Mount Fuji, Japanese elements can be felt throughout the room.
Yet the space incorporates modern elements, creating a sophisticated and refined impression, offering a sense of deep relaxation unique to the Executive Floor.
The Executive Floor lives up to its promise of the pinnacle of luxury with a lineup of fitting amenities.
Amenities are exclusively from L’OCCITANE, a brand present in over 90 countries, including body soap, facial and hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and face serum.
Amenities on the Executive Floor
Outside the rooms, more luxurious experiences await, one being the Executive Lounge on the 35th floor. Exclusive to Executive Floor guests, this lounge offers premium services from dedicated staff.
Check-in is also available at the Executive Lounge
The culinary experience is particularly exceptional.
Guests can enjoy four daily dining services: breakfast, afternoon tea, cocktail time, and nightcap to help guests unwind!
These indulgent moments spent with fine food and drink are privileges exclusive to Executive Floor guests.

2. First-class room service and culinary delights
Room service is a highlight of any hotel stay, and the CERULEAN TOWER TOKYU HOTEL delivers with a variety of cuisines, including Japanese, Western, and Chinese specialties.
Let’s highlight breakfast, essential to starting the day. The Japanese breakfast (4,440 JPY tax included) features 11 different dishes using unique Japanese seasonings and ingredients.
Traditional Japanese breakfast (dishes may vary)
The main dish is a saikyō-yaki-style salmon. Saikyo-yaki is a grilling method using saikyo miso, a traditional Kyoto miso that is sweet and mild due to lower sodium content and a generous amount of rice malt. The breakfast’s salmon is marinated in the miso and grilled to perfection.
Its rich aroma stimulates both taste and smell, perfect for starting your day!
The Beef Sukini is a delightful take on the classic Japanese dish of sukiyaki.
The tender texture of the slightly rare beef is exquisite. Combined with the umami of the broth that releases with each bite, it leaves you with a deep sense of contentment that lingers well beyond the meal.
The hotel also offers two Western-style breakfasts, as well as chef-curated options for lunch and dinner, making every meal an opportunity to savor the best in fine dining.
3. The hotel embraces harmony between tradition and evolution
In September 2024, the CERULEAN TOWER TOKYU HOTEL underwent a significant renovation, introducing new features that add to its appeal.
Grand Room
The newly introduced Grand Room on the Cerulean Floor can accommodate three or more guests. This addition was made in response to an increase in family stays at the previously business-focused hotel.
Beds can be transformed to accommodate use by multiple guests
Available exclusively to guests staying on the Cerulean and Executive Floors, the newly created Cerulean Lounge creates a separate space away from Shibuya’s bustle, featuring tatami matting, bonsai-inspired flower arrangements, and Japanese art and decorations.

The variety of unique Japanese sweets served in the lounge changes seasonally. While free drink servers offer coffee and soft drinks, enjoying these traditional sweets with green tea is recommended.
Seasonal Japanese sweets and snacks including rice crackers
Additionally, the hotel engages in initiatives to pass on Japanese traditions and culture to the next generation. Their commitment to conveying Japan’s essential appeal through various activities, including tea ceremony experiences, is another reason for the hotel’s enduring popularity.
