Gracery Shinjuku

We love discovering reasonably priced properties with character, and the Gracery really shines.

Filling the larger part of a skyscraper, this sleek, surprisingly stylish property has been satisfying guests for a number of years now. The well-designed rooms are a decent size for a central Japanese city hotel, and it’s in one of the best parts of town for things to see and do, surrounded by the buzz of busy restaurants and shops.

You may have heard the Gracery described as ‘the Godzilla hotel’ after one of its more unusual features: an enormous film prop style Godzilla’s head peering down towards the street from a mid-level roof! It claims to be the only Godzilla-themed hotel in the world, and we’re yet to find evidence to the contrary. True fans can even stay in a similarly themed room looking directly out at the iconic movie monster.

Convenience

Restaurant at Gracery Shinjuku

As an introduction to Tokyo’s rhythms, it’s difficult to find a better location than Shinjuku for a first time visit. There are hundreds of evening dining and entertainment options within sight as soon as you step out of the hotel. Keep an eye out for our latest restaurant and eatery recommendations in the area.

Godzilla!

This prehistoric sea monster has attacked Tokyo on film many times over the years, and one iteration has ended up hugging the 8th floor of this hotel! Every hour up to 8pm, he roars and breathes smoke, so it’s the full sensory Godzilla experience. This lightness continues throughout the hotel, reminding you of the fun side of Japanese culture.

A great trip

We had an excellent holiday with an itinerary carefully arranged by Dave to suit our preferences. This is the third time we've travelled with Selective Asia and we will happily do so again in the future. We like the fact that they are a small company, passionate about what they do and committed to responsible travel.

Selective Asia is more than a booking agency...

When a museum sent its exhibits overseas on tour, they learned about this before our departure and steered another to another site. When a hotel that we had booked scheduled a noisy wedding for the period of our occupancy, they were able to identify a fantastic hotel without noise before our arrival. I am not sure that any other tour operator would provide such detail in follow up, even after the tour was booked and paid for.

David Kosh, Vietnam

Brilliant! Selective Asia covered every detail.

Travel, hotels, guides, and excursions all flawlessly executed. Selective Asia listened to our requirements and worked with us to refine a great holiday.

Tim Goodman, Thailand

Holiday of a lifetime

The planning of the holiday and the ongoing support was excellent. The organisation on the ground when we got there was perfect and the local guides were knowledgeable and very personable. We would definitely go with Selective Asia again.

Gillian Baker, Komodo & Borneo

Our trip was outstanding...

We had had several discussions with Andrew before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in, plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again.
