Where To Stay In Tokyo: Candeo Hotel Shimbashi Review

Tokyo is the world's most populous metropolitan area (36 million people!), a city where century-old history meets ultramodern technology and design.

A city with almost as many vending as residents, the most top-rated restaurants in the world (no less than 14 three-star Michelin restaurants), and the busiest pedestrian crossing on earth (Shibuya Crossing).

It's here, in this amazing city where you can find the 4-star Candeo Shimbashi Hotel, a beautifully designed hotel in downtown Tokyo.

The Sky Spa

This is definitely one of the highlights of staying at the Candeo Tokyo Shimbashi hotel! The Sky Spa is located on the 12th floor and is the perfect way to relax after a day of sightseeing in Tokyo.

There are separate baths for men and women. In both spas, you can find both indoor and outdoor baths, a sauna, and shower facilities.

I have visited several Japanese public baths during my trips to Japan and have to say this is the best one so far!

With relaxing music, excellent facilities, and blissfully hot baths you will feel invigorated after a visit to the Sky Spa.

The Sky Spa is open from 15 pm until 11 am, so if you feel like taking a dip at midnight or when you can't sleep from your jet lag you can still enjoy a hot bath.

The Sky Spa can be found on the top floor (12th level) of the hotel.

What about breakfast

Breakfast is another highlight as there are over 60 different foods to choose from.

From fresh fruits to typical Japanese dishes (such as handmade tofu) and from a good cup of coffee to delicious and healthy steamed vegetables, it's all available at the Candeo breakfast buffet.

Breakfast is served from 6.30 am until 10 am on the 11th floor of the hotel.
