Hotel Gracery Shinjuku (The Godzilla Hotel)

Hotel Gracery is one of the most distinctive hotels in Shinjuku. Not only is it located in a neck-straining tower smack dab in the middle of the Kabukicho entertainment district, a life-sized bust of Godzilla looks out over the city from the eighth floor.

The house-sized landmark is a tribute to the legendary movie monster and production company Toho Co., which operates a 12-screen cinema and IMAX theater in the same complex.

Bonjour is a “sandwich buffet” and café on the eighth floor in the spacious lobby. It has a limited menu with dishes such as hashed beef and curried rice but more than makes up for that with eye-popping views of the Godzilla head right outside its floor-to-ceiling panoramic window.

Bars, restaurants, karaoke parlors and arcade halls can be found within steps of Hotel Gracery. Kabukicho has enjoyed its share of notoriety as the biggest red-light district in East Asia, but its character is changing with the recent redevelopment including the construction of family-friendly cinemas and the cybernetically themed Robot Restaurant, which attracts many tourists.

Other services

Hotel Gracery also has coin-operated laundry machines, a concierge desk with sightseeing information and a Godzilla merchandise kiosk on the eighth floor.
