Tokyu Stay Shinjuku Hotel Reopens in Tokyo's Shinjuku District

The Tokyu Stay Shinjuku, a 120‑room hotel in Tokyo’s Shinjuku 3‑chome area, is set to reopen on September 29. The 14‑storey property is an eight‑minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station’s East Exit and a minute from Shinjuku 3‑chome Station. Its redesign draws on the neighbourhood’s film, theatre and jazz heritage, featuring a Re:cord Lounge styled after a jazz club, record‑playing stations, and a casual lounge where guests can mix melon sodas and order drinks. Room types range from the 39 m² 3‑chome Collective Twin to family suites, many equipped with kitchenettes, washer‑dryers and microwaves, catering to longer stays and independent travellers.

Travel advisors now have an additional accommodation option that highlights local culture rather than a generic interior, appealing to visitors seeking a more authentic Tokyo experience. The city’s hospitality scene also includes a variety of distinctive hotels, such as the tech‑focused Henn na Hotel near Tokyo Disneyland, which offers robot check‑in, facial‑recognition room entry and voice‑controlled lighting, illustrating the breadth of unique lodging choices available across Tokyo.
