Gracery Shinjuku
Gracery Shinjuku, a wonderfully idiosyncratic hotel in the best Tokyo possible location - Shinjuku! Shinjuku is known for shopping, dining, and nightlife, so there's allot for travelers to do within walking distance.
If you’re a guest of the hotel, you can access the terrace where Godzilla lives… that is, if you dare. The cafe is guarded by a life-sized version of the monster, similar to this 1995 Godzilla statue that you can put in your home.
The relaxing lounge has an adjoining outdoor terrace, and large selection of snacks and cocktails. There’s even a Godzilla cake that you can bite into.
In the evening, Godzilla awakens at the top of each hour (6pm, 7pm, etc). For a few minutes, he shakes his head and his eyes flash like lightning. The creature bares his pointed teeth and spits out fog — or rather, his secret weapon of “atomic breath.”
Room Type: Standard
