Tokyo Hotels By District

Remember that scene in National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) where the Griswold family pulled off the freeway in a city and found themselves in a "not-too-nice" neighborhood?

Fortunately, when it comes to Tokyo, I have not seen any bad neighborhoods.

When looking for a hotel to stay in Tokyo, I generally look for price and the close proximity to a train or subway station. I have my favorite hotels in Tokyo, such as the Hotel Asia Center of Japan and the Hotel Sunroute in Asakusa.

But if you are a newbie making your first trip to Japan and want to see what different areas of Tokyo have to offer in accommodations, the U.K.'s Telegraph has an article on just that.

They begin with:

A neighbourhood guide to the best places to stay in Tokyo, as chosen by our resident expert, including the best hotels in Shibuya, Shinjuku, Roppongi and more. 

They also provide prices, but they are in English pounds. You'll have to convert them to dollars in an online currency converter.
