Villa Fontaine Shiodome
Villa Fontaine was ranked in the Michelin guidebook as a quality business hotel. Although we feel this rating is fairly generous, it is in a great location in the city. Artwork is found throughout the hotel, adding a nice touch. The hotel does have basic rooms typical of a business hotel, but they are nice and comfortable. Many Tokyo attractions, including the famous Tsukiji Fish Market and the Hamarikyu Gardens are conveniently close by. There is also a small ‘street’ of restaurants located just outside the hotel up the escalators on the second floor if you're looking for a place to dine.
