Hello, tuna(@miyakojimalife_) (*’▽’)
This year marks our 10th wedding anniversary!
I was thinking about whether we could do something to create a lasting family memory in this milestone year
I traveled all the way from Miyakojima to stay at the Royal Park Hotel (Tokyo).
A major reason I chose this hotel was that “this is where I had my wedding 10 years ago,” but
After staying there for two nights, I was unexpectedly…The suites offer great value for the price.That’s what I felt
Also, the hotel’s spirit of hospitality is truly wonderful.
It would be a bit disappointing if your special anniversary date turned out to be different from what you expected, wouldn’t it…
I think this is a hotel I can recommend, so I’ve put together a post about it on my blog.
I hope this serves as a helpful reference for anniversary dates or anniversary getaways♪
Thank you to everyone on Twitter for your kind congratulations (っ_ _)っ
This one is quite lengthy.
Feel free to use the table of contents to jump to the sections that interest you (*´▽｀*)
FeatherThe limousine bus is your only option for getting there from the airport!
First, regarding how to get to the hotel, if you are traveling by plane
Limousine buses are a convenient option from both Haneda Airport and Narita Airport!
The reason is thatThe Royal Park Hotel is located right next to the Tokyo City Air Terminal (T-CAT).
If you’re traveling with children, it’s easier to wait for the bus and ride it than to walk through the station while transferring.
Our family also took the limousine bus from Haneda Airport to get there.
I purchased the ticket at the limousine bus stop.
Admission is 840 yen for adults and 420 yen for elementary school students and younger.
However, you’ll get a better rate if you make a reservation online in advance.
Online, the prices are 740 yen for adults, 370 yen for elementary school students and younger, and 100 yen for children under elementary school age.
Since the admission fee for elementary school students and younger drops from 420 yen to 100 yen, online reservations are definitely the way to go for families with young children.
Our family also booked our return trip online.
When I arrived at Tokyo City Air Terminal, I discovered this
Believe it or not, when you call, staff from the Royal Park Hotel will come pick you up! ∑(°口°๑)
I arrived in the middle of the night and didn’t have much luggage, so I didn’t call, but I think this is a great service for people with a lot of luggage or those who need assistance.
You can already feel the warm hospitality right from the start
Access by train is a breeze, as the station is directly connected to the island.
For those using Tokyo Station or living in the Tokyo area, having direct access from the station is a huge plus.
It’s great to be able to get around without being affected by the weather, isn’t it?
The station connected to the Royal Park Hotel is “Suiten-gumae Station” on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line.
Its convenient location—just about 10 minutes from Tokyo Station and Ginza—is another plus.
RoThere is a large chandelier in Room B.
When you arrive at the hotel lobby, the chandelier—which has become a symbol of the Royal Park Hotel—catches your eye.
I was told this 10 years ago while planning my wedding, but
It appears to be designed to resemble the Milky Way.
There is a dedicated check-in counter
If you are staying on the Executive Floor, which includes suites, there is a dedicated check-in counter separate from the regular one.
It seems you can check in while seated there, but since we arrived at night and it was empty, we went to the regular counter instead.
I wish I had taken a picture…
Check-in and check-out are both at 3:00 PM.
One thing I’m secretly happy about is that check-in is available at 3:00 PM.
Most people staying in a suite probably want to relax in their room.
Check-out can be extended until 3:00 PM upon request.
Due to our flight schedule, we ended up with a late-night check-in and early-morning check-out—the least ideal scenario ( ˙▿˙ ; )
Filming Locations for “Masquerade Hotel”
The chandelier in the lobby mentioned earlier
In fact, it’s also featured on the cover of Keigo Higashino’s novel *Masquerade Hotel*.
It appears that the Royal Park Hotel also served as a filming location for the *Masquerade* series—which was adapted into a movie alongside the novels—and was hosting a special exhibition.
It’s the movie starring Kimutaku and Masami Nagasawa, isn’t it?
NightA luxurious suite experience with nothing to complain about—from the views to the guest rooms
The first thing that surprises you when you arrive at your room is the length of the hallway leading from the entrance to the room.
It’s absolutely beautiful.
As soon as I stepped into the room, it was truly a suite.
It’s amazing that a 72-square-meter space is available in the Nihonbashi area ( ⊙⊙)!!
There was a desk that looked like it belonged in a CEO’s office, and I couldn’t help but wonder, “What on earth is this place?”
The Tokyo Tower looks absolutely beautiful when viewed at night.
It immediately became a play kitchen area for the kids.
The sight of him mumbling to himself while looking at the brochure he got in the lobby reminds me of The Boss Baby.
The 52-inch wall-mounted TV is quite impressive.
The size of the living room and the plushness of the sofa
It’s very relaxing.
You can see a beautiful view of Tokyo Tower
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the night view, but the Tokyo Tower looks surprisingly beautiful.
It’s a nice little touch that the curtains open when you press the switch.
Opening the curtains makes the room feel a little brighter.
The night view is quite beautiful, too.
The photos taken while sitting on the sofa turned out really well.
The children look happy, too.
The bed in the bedroom is larger than a queen-size bed.
The bedroom is spacious and has a calming design that makes you feel happy.
The bed measures 2 meters long by 2.2 meters wide.
About two and a half tatami mats in size
Even with small children, the whole family was able to sleep just fine.
A mini tote bag that was placed on the bed
Inside were children’s slippers and a toothbrush.
The mini tote bag is already being used for pretend play at that desk right now…
The curtains in the bedroom are also designed to open with a switch.
But I just can’t seem to find where that switch is.
I finally found it, but it’s integrated with the bedside audio system.
The letter “C” is missing…
It’s also nice to have a TV in the bedroom.
The children were playing on their Nintendo Switches, which they had brought from home, connected to the TV.
The bathroom and jacuzzi also have a luxurious feel.
The bathroom is spacious and clean.
There are two matching sinks.
I guess it’s a plus that couples staying there can use different rooms… right? lol
The jacuzzi in the bathroom is spacious enough to stretch out your legs comfortably.
It was absolutely wonderful.
The ceiling-mounted rain shower also has a sensation that’s a bit addictive.
It’s not quite like a waterfall-style hot spring, but it feels similar.
The circular speaker next to it is linked to the BOSE audio system in the bedroom, allowing you to play music.
The amenities are by L’Occitane!
It seems that even non-suite rooms on the executive floor use L’Occitane products.
It smelled wonderful and was very soothing.
The kids really enjoyed the bubble bath we made with shower gel♪
For women’s skincare products such as toners and lotions, they carried KOSE’s QUEST line.
It feels a little light and airy to the touch.
Compared to the Sekkisei and IPSA products I usually use, it feels a bit lacking.
I guess it really depends on personal preference in this area.
For men, there was a selection of Paul Stuart.
I suppose this is a matter of personal preference.
The bathroom and closet are also spacious and easy to use.
I think this is another small but nice touch.
First of all, the closet is spacious! Since you tend to bring more luggage in the winter, it’s great to have plenty of storage space.
I can really feel the hotel’s thoughtfulness in the way the lights turn on automatically when you open the door.
The inclusion of a three-panel mirror and a makeup magnifying mirror is a nice touch for women.
Anyway, there are a lot of mirrors in this room (＠_＠;)
The restroom feels like a store.
It has a very relaxing atmosphere.
GuestsNespresso machines are provided in the rooms
At home, I’m a fan of grinding my own beans and making pour-over coffee, but the Nespresso was surprisingly good.
It was nice that we could easily enjoy it in our room.
There’s also a user guide, so you won’t get lost.
When it comes to hotels, bathrobes come to mind.
When it comes to hotels, I can’t help but think of those bathrobes I saw so many times in TV dramas when I was a kid.
The bathrobes at the Royal Park Hotel were thick and very absorbent.
It was on the top shelf of the closet.
I wish I had at least spread it out before taking the photo…
If you feel more comfortable in a yukata, rest assured
It was in the chest of drawers across from the closet.
The ironing board is also large
An iron I’ve never used in a hotel room because I only stay in hotels when I travel
While some business travelers might use this at a business hotel, I wonder if anyone would use it in a suite? Still, it might be the kind of service that really hits the spot.
The ironing board was very large, so it looks like it will be easy to use.
The size I’d like to have at home (lol)
Even if you prefer to leave your laundry and dry cleaning to the hotel, you can rest assured
Although the laundry service hours were shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the service is still available.
MorningThe food is delicious
One of the joys of staying at a hotel is breakfast!
The breakfast at the Royal Park Hotel was also absolutely delicious.
If you’re staying in a suite, you can also have breakfast in the lounge, but
Due to the impact of COVID-19, breakfast service was not available on this occasion.
I had breakfast at “Symphony,” the Chef’s Dining restaurant on the first floor.
Chef’s Dining “Symphony” offers a relaxed atmosphere
Just looking at the atmosphere at the entrance gets me excited for breakfast.
When I was shown to my seat, I was surprised to find gloves there.
So this is the style we’re using during the COVID-19 pandemic, huh?
The seating is spacious, and the view is lovely.
I was shown to a seat by the large window
Outside, you can see a fountain flowing like a waterfall.
The trees were beginning to show a hint of autumn color.
For breakfast, we recommend the omelet made right in front of you.
Meals are served in the typical buffet style, but there is a very wide variety of dishes.
The croissants are crispy and very delicious.
Among these, I especially recommendOmelets made right in front of you by the chef
You can also choose your own toppings.
I chose cheese, ham, and onions.
It was so delicious I had seconds.
When I asked the chef, he said the record is 10 seconds of rice (´∀｀) lol
Children sharing a bed are charged for breakfast, but it’s inexpensive.
Breakfast is included in the room rate, but there is an additional charge for children sharing a bed with their parents.
If you dine at “Symphony,” the chef’s dining room on the first floor,At 1,210 yen (including tax), it’s a great deal.
What’s more, this rate is very reasonable for children ages 4 through 12.
Children 4 years old and under are free
It appears that breakfast in the lounge costs 1,815 yen, including tax.
EUnlimited access to the Executive Lounge
If you are staying on the Executive Floor, which includes suites, you can use the Executive Lounge.
Unlike the lobby lounge on the first floor of the hotel, it is located on a higher floor.
The scenery isn’t much different from the suite, but the spacious setting and sophisticated atmosphere make it a great place to relax.
View from the Tokyo Tower side
This is what the entrance area looks like
I hear they also have semi-private rooms and accept reservations.
Drinks, light meals, and desserts are available
Due to the impact of COVID-19, the staff brought us light meals and desserts.
It appears to be self-service under normal circumstances.
Drinks were available on a self-service basis.
It also serves coffee and is conveniently located near the airport lounge.
What surprised me was that it was served in a can.
I thought it was the kind of drink bar you often see at family restaurants.
Personally, I prefer this one.
When I visited at night, the beer here had been restocked.
It’s hard to see because of the glare, but there are carbonated drinks such as Coke, ginger ale, and Wilkinson.
There were bottled green tea, tomato juice, vegetable juice, and other beverages.
At night, there’s all-you-can-drink alcohol
For those who love a drink, there’s nothing quite like enjoying a drink in a hotel lounge.
All-you-can-drink is great, isn’t it?
This time, we invited a friend who lives in Tokyo to join us and had a great time.
If you are not a guest,It’s a bit pricey at 6,050 yen (tax included).
Since I don’t get to see these friends very often, I’m treating them as a special treat.
They serve champagne, rosé, sake, and cocktails, so you’re sure to have a great time.
One slight downside is that there’s no beer tap ( ᐪᐤᐪ )
The appetizers were absolutely delicious.
Unlimited use of the hotel gym
Like the lounge, the gym is also available 24 hours a day.
Even though I had packed a change of clothes this time, I ended up spending both days drinking and hanging out with friends, so I didn’t end up using them.
Once again, I didn’t get to enjoy the benefits ( ˙▿˙ ; )
AAfternoon tea looks absolutely stunning here
Since it’s our wedding anniversary, we also made a reservation for afternoon tea.
This isIt looks absolutely stunning
What is with this princess vibe?
It’s really well put together.
The candy art is amazing
The clock-shaped sweets were a hit with the kids.
I just looked around, though…
The raw chocolate drink was delicious, too.
Chocolate shaped like a chocolate bar
There are more details below that as well
Since my kids aren’t big fans of cake, I asked them to prepare enough for two people.
Still, I never imagined there would be this much…
Afternoon tea is actually quite filling.
I had made a dinner reservation, but I canceled it, feeling bad about it.
If you’re a couple, I think one serving should be enough.
The hospitality at the hotel is amazing
This time, I made a reservation for afternoon tea at a shop called Fontaine on the first floor.
However, it seems to be a challenge due to two factors: the popularity of Royal Park Hotel’s afternoon tea on Instagram and other platforms, and the difficulty in securing reservations due to COVID-19 restrictions on group sizes.
I told them, “In that case, it’s fine,” but the person in charge suggested, “If you don’t mind…”
Available via room service (＠_＠;)
Well… I thought, “Isn’t that a bit pricey…?” but apparently they provide all the services included.
I’m truly impressed by how two hotel staff members took their time carrying our luggage that day…
Since they couldn’t serve it, they provided the tea in a teapot.
I’m truly grateful ( ᐪᐤᐪ )
Afternoon tea isIt was 9,680 yen (including tax) for two people.
It was delicious, but I think one serving is enough for a couple.
A willingness to celebrate special occasions
The second thing that impressed me about the hotel’s hospitality was their willingness to celebrate our anniversary.
Even when I checked in at the lobby, the staff said to me, “Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary.”
You’ll even find gifts like this in the hotel rooms
Also, although we didn’t meet in person that day, they looked into and told me that the person who had helped with our wedding back then is still working there.
This hotel offers very kind and warm hospitality.
TaThe Worth Suite is slightly less expensive than the other suites.
From the room size to the night view, the executive lounge, and the staff’s service—there are so many outstanding aspects—but when it comes to value for money, the price is definitely a key factor.
You might expect a suite to cost around 200,000 to 300,000 yen per night, butThe Tower Suite costs about 130,000 yen per night, including tax..
Since this is the room rate, if two people stay, it comes to about 65,000 yen per person.
Personally, I think that even if it seems a bit pricey for a regular trip, it can be a great experience if you’re staying there for a special occasion like an anniversary.
Children in elementary school and younger can sleep in the same bed with their parents for free.
This is a real crowd-pleaser for families
There is no charge for children sharing a bed with their parents.
We have an elementary school-aged child in our family, but we weren’t charged a fee for sleeping in the same bed.
Since the Tower Suite was only listed for up to two guests, I thought it might be difficult for our family to stay there, but it turned out to be possible.
Staying in a suite as a family makes for great memories, and I think it’s good value for the money.
I’ve written quite a bit here, but I hope this article serves as a helpful reference for anyone planning an anniversary date or a special overnight stay♪
By the way, I have absolutely no connection to the Royal Park Hotel. I just had my wedding there. (laughs)
Thank you for reading to the end!
