There's no denying that The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho is one of the finest luxury properties in a city that's packed with excellent options. It feels like a world unto itself, really, as it towers over seemingly the entire Tokyo landscape. Incredible city views are found almost everywhere — from the bar and restaurants to the rooms. The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho is a refined property, from the doting service to the just-buzzing-enough Sky Lounge, where locals and hotel guests mingle over cocktails and sunsets. You'll find an elegant spa, proper gym, and excellent pool here — all with stunning Tokyo views. The location near Hanzomon and Akasaka also feels a bit more lively than the Tokyo luxury hotels clustered around Tokyo Station. However, if being near the business district is a must, the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi is a solid alternative.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Hokke Club Asakusa is conveniently located near the Asakusa subway station, and is walking distance to the popular Senso-ji Temple. Its 186 modern but somewhat spartan guest rooms have desks, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, air purifiers, kettles, and free Wi-Fi, but some lack windows and views. Bathrooms are traditional Japanese-style, with washing stations and separate bathtubs. Facilities are limited, with no restaurant/bar or fitness center, but breakfast is served for an extra fee, and there's a guest laundry room and vending machines. It's not easy to beat these rates in the neighborhood, but for a little more, the Richmond Hotel Asakusa adds a restaurant and is located even closer to the Senso-Ji Temple grounds.

Sakura Hotel Hatagaya is a no-frills budget hotel that has the look and atmosphere of a youth hostel without the typical dorm-style rooms. The 74 guest rooms are clean, and all have attached bathrooms and amenities like air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and hairdryers and toiletries in the bathrooms. The hotel is well-maintained and was last renovated at the end of 2012, but the decor is functional and bland. The on-site restaurant, Sakura Cafe, is open 24 hours and has an international menu, with halal dishes also available. The vibe here is young, and this hotel is popular with budget travelers. For a more traditional option, travelers could check out Hotel Grand Arc Hanzomon for its Japanese-style rooms with tatami mat floors, though rates can be higher.

Celestine Hotel is a conveniently located mid-range hotel that's a 15-minute walk to Tokyo Tower. The property has 243 modern rooms located on the 14th through 17th floors of a mid-rise building; some are small, as expected for Tokyo, but minibars and 37-inch flat-screen TVs are nice standard features. A comfy lounge with free Wi-Fi access and free tea or coffee is a highlight, and the hotel has a restaurant and cafe, though breakfast is not included and there is no fitness center. Guests willing to pay more to be in the heart of downtown could consider Park Hotel Tokyo, an upscale property that has multiple restaurants.

Andon Ryokan is a very basic but clean budget hotel that's popular with young travelers and is conveniently located within walking distance of the subway. The hotel offers a modern twist on the traditional "ryokan" style inn: the contemporary building has 24 guest rooms with tatami floors and futon beds, and instead of a traditional Japanese-style public bath, there's a hot tub. The rooms are tiny, however, with only 75 square feet of floor space, and bathroom and toilet facilities are shared. In-room amenities include air-conditioning, TVs, DVD players, and free Wi-Fi. Other services include breakfast (charged extra), bicycle rental, laundry facilities, and daily cultural activities. Travelers might want to compare with Family Inn Saiko, which offers bigger rooms and free breakfast -- but rates are more expensive.

Set amid office buildings, the mid-range Hotel Grand Fresa Akasaka is about a two-minute walk to the Akasaka station, and a five-minute walk to the Roppongi nightlife scene.

The hotel's coffee shop is open all day for light meals, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.

It's hard to beat the Asakusa View Hotel's great panoramas of such Tokyo landmarks as the Skytree and Senso-ji Temple -- even distant Mount Fuji on a good day. However, while many of the mid-range hotel's 326 rooms make the most of their city views, decor ranges from generically modern to a bit dated. The four restaurants offer plenty of variety -- Musashi serves grilled dishes from an oven made with Mount Fuji lava rocks -- and the scope of the buffet is impressive, but breakfast comes with a hefty fee. The indoor pool and the top-floor "members-only" bar charges guests a fee, and there's no fitness center. Travelers might want to compare rates with the Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon, which has equally impressive views but is more modern.
