Tokyo Hotels

One of the things I get emailed about the most is regarding recommendations for hotels in Tokyo. Unfortunately, it’s not something I can usually help with because I’ve never stayed in a hotel in Tokyo — except for the KIMI Ryokan in Ikebukuro, years ago when I first moved here, while I was looking for a job and an apartment. Sure, I always mention the Claska, because I know it’s a hell of a nice boutique hotel, but outside from that I’m pretty much clueless. I’d love it if you could post your recommendations in the comments section, so that I could refer people to the thread when the subject comes up.
