Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo
The essence of a high-end hotel
Location: Right in front of Tokyo Station
You can book through Marriott, but the hotel does not offer qualifying stays, qualifying nights, points, or breakfast as an elite benefit.
I visited as a Marriott Titanium member.
Here is my review of a stay at Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, one of the most expensive hotels in Tokyo, along with The Bvlgari Bar, breakfast, and lunch.
The location really is hard to beat.
The lobby is on the 40th floor, and you can take the elevator straight up.
This is the lobby corridor you see when you step out of the elevator.
The overall atmosphere feels calm and grand.
Deluxe Room with 1 King Bed and Skyline View
(Deluxe 1 King Bed, Skyline View)
This is the space that greets you when you open the door and walk in.
The entire room feels luxurious beyond luxurious.
Bvlgari advertisements play endlessly on the TV.
Welcome amenities
They provide fruit, wine, cake, still and sparkling water, and even chocolates that cost KRW 15,000 per piece.
Here is the stationery on the desk.
Everything except the highlighter is Bvlgari.
Minibar
As you would expect from a luxury hotel, there is a half-bottle of Krug in the minibar.
Minibar prices
Compared with the room rate, you could almost call them modest.
The room controls and power outlets are inside the drawer beside the bed.
Between the main room and the bathroom are a wardrobe and a luggage rack.
Even the dressing table seems to say, "I'm luxurious."
A Dyson hair dryer is provided.
The bathroom is directly behind it.
All the amenities are Bvlgari products, of course.
Open the doors beside the taps to find the shower and toilet.
Once again, the amenities are by Bvlgari.
The view from the window
Looking down, you see Tokyo Station, so it is not particularly beautiful.
The Bvlgari Bar
Not everyone can simply walk in
I also visited The Bvlgari Bar on the 45th floor.
Hotel guests can drop in without a reservation,
but non-guests will be turned away at the entrance without an advance booking.
There is also an area reserved exclusively for hotel guests.
I visited late at night, so the photos are dark overall.
Step onto the terrace and you can see Tokyo Tower.
Yamazaki 18 Year Old.
I remember it costing around JPY 18,000.
This was a parfait, but I cannot remember the exact name.
If staying at the hotel is out of reach, I think booking The Bvlgari Bar in advance and visiting is a good alternative.
Il Ristorante
(Breakfast and lunch)
Breakfast hours: 7:00 a.m.–10:30 a.m.
Lunch hours: 12:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m.
Breakfast is served at Il Ristorante on the 40th floor.
It is à la carte rather than a buffet, and you choose either a Japanese or Western breakfast.
We chose one of each.
The basic table setting
The Western breakfast
It comes with pastries, fruit, an egg dish, sausages, bacon, and roasted potatoes.
The Japanese breakfast is served as a complete set.
To be honest, breakfast was more disappointing than I had expected.
The tableware was pretty, but the flavor and selection fell short of my expectations.
I decided to give lunch a try as well, just in case.
It is served at the same Il Ristorante.
I'll just share the food photos.
You can safely give it a miss.
At this price, spend your money on something tastier.
With its high room rates, this is not an easy hotel to stay at casually,
but it was a stay that let me experience, at least once, what a hotel can really be.
The Bvlgari Bar is worth a visit even if you cannot stay at the hotel,
but I honestly cannot recommend the restaurant.
