The affordable (sometimes) and beautifully designed The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon by Hulic in Asakusa, Tokyo’s old ‘pleasure district’, is close to the Tokyo Skytree, the newly opened broadcast tower; and directly opposite the dramatic Thunder Gate entrance of Senso-ji, the city’s oldest temple
This design-focused hotel is a three-minute walk from Asakusa train station.
The clean, spacious rooms at The Gate have a modern and luxurious feel with chic dark-wood furnishings. Featuring spacious Slumberland beds and interior designs by the late Shigeru Uchida, each room comes with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, desks and tea & coffee makers, as well as rainfall showers.
Upgraded rooms feature panoramic views; while suites add separate living areas and some come with balconies.
R Restaurant and Bar serves French-inspired meals, including breakfast with decent freshly squeezed orange juice. It's open 24 hours for guests. The Gate's bar has a spectacular view of the Sky Tree tower and features the shimmering reflection of water on the terrace wall.
The reception area and rooftop terrace offer stunning views of the city, the temple and the Skytree. The Gate Hotel has been designed for rest and recreation - the peaceful and quiet rooms provide the rest; and the location, surrounded by restaurants, shops and the historic sights of Asakusa, provide the recreation.
