Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Century Southern Tower
2–2–1 Yoyogi, Tokyo, Tokyo-to, 151-8583, Japan
The sparse offerings at the Century (i.e., no room or bell service, empty refrigerators) are more than compensated for by the hotel's reasonable prices and wonderful location atop the 35-floor Odakyu Southern Tower, minutes by foot from Shinjuku Station. Long-plank wooden floors and square planters adorn the 20th-floor lobby with understated simplicity. Basic rooms are pleasantly outfitted in light-wood furnishings, café-au-lait textiles, and sizable writing desks suitable for the business traveler. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the fusion restaurant Tribecks serve up excellent views of the metropolis and pair happily with an extensive wine list. To fill that room refrigerator, shop at Takashimaya Times Square, just an elevator ride away.
