Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya: A Cutting-Edge Lifestyle Boutique Hotel at the Crossroads of Shibuya Culture, Art and Style

The Dōgenzaka area of Shibuya, Tokyo, is a hub of nightlife, restaurants, and shopping. At the heart of this vibrant district stands Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya, blending into the diverse cultural tapestry of Dogenzaka.

The hotel’s geometric design seamlessly integrates with the Dogenzaka streetscape.

The reception, located on the 12th floor, is an artistic space, where guests are greeted by hotel staff in uniforms reminiscent of traditional kimonos.

These exclusive uniforms were created by COTÉ MER, a boutique based on Shibuya’s Cat Street, specifically for Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya. Collaborations with Shibuya-based shops and artists are a hallmark of the hotel’s identity, evident throughout its spaces.

At the all-day dining space, Gallery 11, on the 11th floor, works by local artists produced by Kintaro Takahashi, Hiro Sugiyama and others are on display.

Sixteen pieces, including tributes to Shibuya icons like the faithful dog Hachiko (whose statue is a famous meeting spot in front of Shibuya Station), explore the city’s essence through various artistic lenses. With all of these carefully curated works decorating the space, you could easily be fooled into thinking the dining area was an art gallery.

Stepping onto the terrace of Gallery 11, guests are greeted by sweeping views of Shibuya.

The open design seamlessly bridges visitors with the city, its unique protruding structure creating a sense of unity with the surroundings.

The bustling sounds of the streets below fade away on the 11th floor, replaced by a serene silence.

The juxtaposition of stunning skyscraper views and serene quietness underscores Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya’s prime location.

Unique musical moments with in-room records

Occupying the high floors (13th–28th) of the building, the hotel’s 272 rooms offer stunning urban vistas through large windows.

Corner rooms, limited to one per floor, provide exceptional views of the crowd flowing through Shibuya’s iconic Scramble Crossing, creating the exhilarating sensation of diving into the city’s heart.

On clear days, some rooms even offer views of Mount Fuji or Tokyo Skytree.

Amenities in the rooms combine a refined style and environmental consciousness. Refillable bath products, as well as bamboo toothbrushes and hairbrushes reflect a commitment to reducing plastic waste.

Although it’s hardly unusual to find hotels which actively pursue the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the combination of sustainable practices with chic, fashion-forward touches is a unique hallmark of Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya.

Design details in the room, like the vanity shelf inspired by record racks, reflect the hotel’s artistic flair. Custom cups and saucers, featuring Hachiko and geometric patterns, offer a playful homage to the area.

Perhaps one of the hotel’s most representative features is the presence of record jackets displayed in every room. With its live venues, nightclubs, and record shops, Shibuya is known as a wellspring of musical culture and emerging trends. These record jackets honor Shibuya’s rich musical heritage.

Guests can even request a record player for a unique in-room listening experience.

Escape the frenzy of Shibuya’s urban jungle and unwind with music from a record player. Blissful moments like these reflect the hotel’s theme: “Discover Shibuya from a higher plane.”

The photogenic “Hachiko Waffle”

Accessible directly from the 3rd-floor main entrance, the Shibrewya café is open to both guests and visitors. Featuring both counter and table seating with power outlets, it’s also suitable for coworking.

Among the diverse offerings, which range from sweets and boxed lunches to beer and coffee, their signature “Hachiko Waffle” stands out as a must-order item. This photogenic treat, available in seasonal variations, features a playful design.

Loaded with rich fillings of seasonal fruit creams and ganache, it’s sure to steal your heart. And since its flavors change each season, guests are tempted to revisit to try new varieties.

Both Shibrewya and the aforementioned Gallery 11 welcome non-guests too, making these venues vibrant social hubs in the neighborhood.

Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya combines superior hospitality with a welcoming atmosphere that fosters community connections.

Whether you’re drawn to its art, music, food, or fashion, Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya offers a complete immersion in Shibuya’s culture.

In a world where lifestyle hotels are destinations themselves, Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya undoubtedly leads the way, making it the perfect base for enjoying Shibuya to the fullest.
