Insider Tips

The Shangri La Tokyo offers a platform greeting service for guests arriving at Tokyo Station. This is an invaluable service as Tokyo Station is very large, always busy and tricky for visitors to navigate. This property goes the extra mile when celebrating a birthday, with in-room decorations, cakes and delicious sweets! Sweet decorations and seasonal creations are a must-see in the festive season (signature desserts, castles of gingerbread).
