The best place to stay in Tokyo

After searching for hotels in the Ginza area, I’m convinced Peninsula Tokyo is the best.
Four of us arrived at night—we almost didn’t fit in the van!

Peninsula Tokyo

We got two connecting rooms. I immediately unpacked my stuff in the walk-in closet. That’s one of the first things I do upon entering a hotel room—I need to get organized. This is one side

The other side is where my SIL and I hung up our clothes. Guess which side is mine? :)

In the other room my sister started pressing her clothes and my mom’s.

and simply the best hotel staff I’ve ever encountered—from the front desk lady who gives me the Ginza shopping map, to the front door people who make you feel at home.

Leaving Peninsula Tokyo

Can’t wait to be back next year (wishful thinking)!

    Your blog makes me think of Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP blog, except she’s pretty and all, and you’re well…

    Lets just say she has the one thing you’re goddamn money can’t buy.

    The coffee machine is such a great addition to the hotel room.

    Hi Cecile,  I didn’t know Charmaine was your SIL.  Small world!  My sons play baseball with Anton.  In fact, we were in Singapore together last year.

    What I find most impressive is how your sister ironed clothes! Really! I usually pack non-wrinkle stuff (never the most stylish) and then let the steam from the hot shower freshen up the clothes. I seriously need to be classier!
