The Peninsula Tokyo is synonymous with impeccable service, spacious rooms and tasteful luxury, however in addition to this elegant guest experience, there are also many one-of-a-kind amenities and experiences that might surprise you. You’ll turn the corner in your hallway to see something unexpected or find a nook in your room that offers more than the eye perceives at first glance. For gourmets, there’s also a room service experience that gets a modern update for the discerning culinary traveler. Here are five things to experience at The Peninsula Tokyo that you won’t find elsewhere.
1. Plant-Based In-Room Ramen
Ramen is a quintessential Japanese meal and a dish you can’t miss when you visit Tokyo. When you stay at The Peninsula Tokyo order their new Ippudo plant-based Ramen to your room and you won’t just enjoy impeccable flavors but also a stunning presentation, with an array of toppings to choose from. Pair this meal with a stunning view of Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace for a dreamy in-room dining experience.
2. Larger Than Life Art Works
Walking through a hotel hallway typically isn’t a riveting experience, except at The Peninsula Tokyo that is. You’ll notice that there are small windows as you walk and when you peer into one of them, you’ll see a multi-story dazzling art work. The hotel is home to over 1,000 art pieces but this one might be the most unexpected.
3. Privacy Vault
Speaking of unexpected, each room at The Peninsula Tokyo has a privacy vault to request services without having to step out of your room or interact with staff. For example, if you want to do laundry without having to schedule a pick-up time, just place your clothing in a hamper with the laundry descriptor in the vault. Push a button to request service, someone will pick up your items and then another button will notify you that it’s ready. It feels almost like magic and also works for other room service and delivery items.
4. Spa Lighting and Nail Dryer
Just like the rooms, the bathrooms at The Peninsula Tokyo are massive and spa-like, so much so, that there’s a spa light setting to set the mood. Pour yourself a nice bath with their available Epsom salts and bubble bath soap, then press the spa lighting to illuminate your bathroom in the most magnificent light. There’s a TV by your bath allowing you to watch movies, and making it even more difficult to actually get out of the tub. Another rarely seen amenity is a nail dryer in their suites, so you’ll never have to wait too long for your nail polish to set when you stay here.
5. Rolls Royce or Toyota Century Departure
Leaving a hotel like The Peninsula Tokyo is hard but the departure is made sweeter when you can depart in style with either a Rolls Royce or a Toyota Century. The hotel has a dazzling fleet of customized cars in the Peninsula’s signature Brewster green available for airport transfers and other hires. While you don’t want to say goodbye, this certainly is a beautiful way to part ways with The Peninsula.
