Hotel Groove Tokyo Japan Hotel Tour - Part 1

Hotel Groove Tokyo Japan Hotel Tour – Part 1

On this episode, we’re visiting Tokyo, Japan, land of the rising sun to review Hotel Groove. Hotel Groove is located in the Kabuki Chu Tower perched right next to the Shinjuku Station complex. And I literally mean right next to it. You take a few escalators up from the subway lines and you’re there. You are steps away from everything. the wild energy of Kabuki 2, the shopping mecca of Istan Elumin, and the serene Sundu National Gardens. And of course, Godzilla is literally staring down at you from the Toha building. If this is your first time, this location is basically unbeatable. On the ground floor of the hotel, there’s a bus stop terminal and underground parking. There’s also a huge Starbucks, so you can get your caffeine fixed at any time. You don’t even have to leave the building. When you get off the elevator on the 18th floor, you’re greeted by this insane floor toseeiling art installation. It’s made of album covers. It’s like walking into a trendy vinyl record gallery that just also happens to have a check-in desk. The whole theme here is music culture, and they mean it. The crowd is a mix of stylish international travels, young couples, and creative types. It’s not your quiet traditional hotel. It’s a social hub. If you’re looking for a place with energy, personality, you’ve definitely found it. Watch out for the service robots. You can find them roaming the halls and elevators of the hotel and they’ll assist you. If you need any supplies, they will deliver it to your room. Now, a heads up. This is Tokyo and space. Oh, yeah. It’s a premium. The rooms are compact, especially if you have large suitcases. But what they lack in size, they make up with killer design and tech. You’ll get a Sony Android TV. Uh you can cast your Netflix. The Wi-Fi is always solid. The bed seriously comfortable and they have all the essentials. The room we booked came with two showers and two bathrooms. And being from the US, yeah, you’re going to miss the washcloths, but you’ll get plenty of hand towels and bath towels. [Music] We booked a higher floor which had a unbelievable view of the Shinjuku skyline. [Music] If you’re dining in the hotel, you have a few options. Jam 17 is your best choice for breakfast and lunch, but they also serve dinner. You can dine in, sit on the terrace, or at the bar. It’s a great view of Tokyo, and the food is great. Everything we had was hot and fresh. I mean, these people were on point with everything. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] If you want something on the fun side, the food hall located on the ground level is your best choice. The best way to describe it would be food court mixed with music and entertainment. It’s vibrant and comes alive in the evening and there are various performances and events. The food hall has several distinct restaurants and don’t worry if you can’t speak Japanese. You can order by number and the staff is super friendly and will assist. [Music] There’s also a pantry located on the 17th floor that has drinks, chips, and snacks. For entertainment options in the hotel, there’s a VR center and a Cinniplex. They also have a Namco arcade game center, so bring your quarters. [Music] So, I give the hotel a 9 out of 10. If you’re a solo traveler, couple or it’s your first time visiting Tokyo, you’ll love the energy and the social vibe.
