The Capitol Hotel Tokyu review below comes from one night on the club floor in May 2023: a 44.9 m² Club Deluxe Hollywood Twin, a kaiseki dinner at Suiren on the 3rd floor, and an entrance that puts you inside two subway stations without ever needing an umbrella. [The Capitol Hotel Tokyu](https://www.trip.com/hotels/tokyo-hotel-detail-994636/the-capitol-hotel-tokyu-tokyo/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=the-capitol-hotel-tokyu-review&trip%5Fsub3=D19699031&ref=nipponstays.com) sits next to Hie Shrine in Nagatacho, with Exit 6 of Tameike-Sanno Station (Ginza and Namboku lines) and Exit 6 of Kokkai-gijidomae Station (Chiyoda and Marunouchi lines) both leading directly into the building, and both the Imperial Palace and the National Diet Building within walking distance. It suits travelers who want dinner, breakfast and a night's sleep to happen without stepping outside; it suits you less if you want to walk out the door into bars and late-night restaurants, since Nagatacho quiets down once the offices close.

## Where it is: Exit 6 of two stations, next to Hie Shrine

The Capitol Hotel Tokyu describes itself as the hill above Hie Shrine. Two subway stations connect directly into the hotel, so you can reach the lobby without ever stepping outside — useful on a rainy Tokyo afternoon.

| From                             | Lines               | How you arrive          |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Tameike-Sanno Station, Exit 6    | Ginza, Namboku      | Directly connected      |
| Kokkai-gijidomae Station, Exit 6 | Chiyoda, Marunouchi | Directly connected      |
| Tokyo Station                    | —                   | About 10 minutes by car |

Four subway lines reach The Capitol Hotel Tokyu through a directly connected Exit 6 — the Ginza and Namboku lines at Tameike-Sanno and the Chiyoda and Marunouchi lines at Kokkai-gijidomae — and the lobby is on the third floor: past the ticket gates for Exits 5 and 6, the Tokyu Capitol Tower entrance (Exit 6) is ahead on your left, and the hotel elevator is just past Ueshima Coffee Shop ([hotel's own access information](https://www.tokyuhotels.co.jp/en/capitol-h/access/index.html?ref=nipponstays.com), checked September 2026). Traveling with a stroller, the hotel's own route goes via the Namboku Line's Exit 7 elevator at Tameike-Sanno up to street level, then about a 5-minute walk straight on. The Imperial Palace and the National Diet Building are both within walking distance, though I didn't time either route on my one visit, so I won't put a minute figure on it. If your Tokyo itinerary is built around Shinjuku or Roppongi nightlife rather than government-district streets, keep in mind that Nagatacho itself goes quiet once the offices empty out.

## The room: Club Deluxe Hollywood Twin, 44.9 m²

I stayed one night, 5–6 May 2023, over Golden Week, in a Club Deluxe Hollywood Twin on the club floor — the 27th to 29th floors — a 44.9 m² non-smoking room with two 100 cm-wide beds pushed together in the Hollywood-twin layout. I'd booked about seven months ahead, in October 2022\. The rate for two adults, breakfast included, tax and service charge included, came to ¥103,730 for that one Golden Week night — not a current figure, and one that will move with the season and the room category; check [current rates on Trip.com](https://www.trip.com/hotels/tokyo-hotel-detail-994636/the-capitol-hotel-tokyu-tokyo/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=the-capitol-hotel-tokyu-review&trip%5Fsub3=D19699031&ref=nipponstays.com) before you book.

We had our two children with us, then 11 and 4, and the hotel told us both could share our bed under the two-adult booking. That was the arrangement we were given in May 2023; the hotel's current FAQ states that children up to 6 years old can share a bed with their parents, while children 7 and older are charged the adult rate. It also specifies which room types can take a third guest at all: on the club floor, only the Club Premier Corner Twin (59.3 m²) and Club Premier King (64.5 m²) can add an extra bed (¥18,975, tax and service included, checked September 2026) — the Club Deluxe Hollywood Twin we stayed in isn't one of them. If you're traveling with a child past the bed-sharing age, book a room type that takes three, or book two rooms, or call the hotel to confirm before you pay — I go through the lounge side of traveling with kids in more depth in [a companion piece on the club lounge with kids](https://www.nipponstays.com/capitol-hotel-tokyu-club-lounge-with-kids/).

The bathroom hair dryer in our club-floor room, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu (May 2023).

One amenity worth flagging for anyone who travels with their own hair-care routine: the bathroom counter had a Panasonic nanocare hair dryer, one of the brand's higher-end models with HOT, COLD, SCALP and SKIN settings, plugged into a standard Type-A wall outlet. That's what I saw in our room in May 2023; I can't confirm every room carries the same unit today.

## The club lounge in one paragraph

The club lounge, SaRyoh, is on the 27th floor and open 7:30am to 9pm daily, but only for guests booked on the club floor or in a suite. Breakfast runs 7:30–11am (last order 10:30), and the hotel's own site lists truffle omelets as part of the cooked-to-order egg course, served only in the club lounge — which is what we had in May 2023\. Cocktail time runs 5–9pm, and the hotel's current rule is that only guests 13 and over are allowed in the lounge after 5pm; on our stay, our children were still there until 6pm, an hour later than today's cutoff, so treat the exact hour as something to confirm when you book rather than something fixed. Club-floor and suite guests park free; other hotel guests pay ¥4,000 a night, and valet at the 3rd-floor entrance is free for staying guests on request (7:00am–11:00pm). I cover what the lounge is actually like with kids, hour by hour, in [a separate article on the club lounge with kids](https://www.nipponstays.com/capitol-hotel-tokyu-club-lounge-with-kids/).

## Dinner at Suiren without leaving the building

On the same May 2023 stay, we had dinner at Suiren, the hotel's Japanese restaurant on the third floor, and were served a seasonal kaiseki course built around May ingredients — an assortment of small appetizers, a clear sea bream broth, sashimi, abalone slow-steamed in a crab sauce, grilled sea bream, and a course pairing beef with eggplant. Dinner came to somewhere around ¥25,000–30,000 per adult, on top of the room rate; I didn't keep the exact receipt, so that's a range rather than a single figure. It was, in my view, worth it — genuinely good cooking, and eating without leaving the building, with two children in tow, was worth something on its own.

![Assorted sashimi served on ice as part of a kaiseki course at Suiren, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/d8/c2d85794-51e9-4a95-82a1-758e73652b1c/content/images/2026/09/capitol-hotel-tokyu-suiren-sashimi.jpg)

Sashimi course, kaiseki dinner at Suiren, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu (May 2023).

Suiren today serves kaiseki, sushi, tempura and teppanyaki, with dinner service from 5:30–10pm (last order 9pm). Its published dinner plans in September 2026 were a matsutake kaiseki starting at ¥31,625 (¥44,275 and up with domestic matsutake from October) and a tempura course at ¥21,126; a regular kaiseki price isn't listed (hotel's own [Suiren page](https://www.tokyuhotels.co.jp/en/capitol-h/restaurant/suiren/index.html?ref=nipponstays.com), checked September 2026). The room seats 83 and includes private rooms, among them one for four that faces a small garden. Reservations go through the restaurant directly at 03-3503-0873 or via TableCheck.

## Star Hill, the Chinese restaurant on the second floor

On a different visit — November 2024, a party of eight — we ate at Star Hill, the hotel's Chinese restaurant on the second floor, using a campaign all-you-can-eat menu. We sat at a round table with a rotating tray, looking out at a lit garden after dark, and worked through an appetizer plate (abalone, chicken in a scallion-ginger sauce, jellyfish), a clear soup, a stir-fry of white fish and wood-ear mushroom, and shrimp in a mayonnaise dressing. My own view: as good as Suiren, in a style I'd describe as Chinese cooking within a Japanese-hotel tradition. I'm not going to put a figure on what that campaign menu cost — my memory of the price isn't reliable enough to print — and I haven't eaten the restaurant's current menu, so none of this describes what's on the plate today.

Star Hill today seats 86 and has seven private rooms for up to 14 people, and the restaurant's own description is traditional Chinese cuisine — its site doesn't name a specific regional style, so I won't guess at one either. On weekends and national holidays from 3 October 2026 through 11 January 2027, it runs a separate order-style buffet that I haven't eaten, so I won't describe that menu.

## The Capitol or The Kitano: two hotels in Nagatacho

Nagatacho has two hotels worth comparing side by side: The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, and the other hotel we've covered in this district, [The Kitano Hotel Tokyo](https://www.nipponstays.com/the-kitano-hotel-tokyo/), a Relais & Châteaux member by Nagatacho Station Exit 4, within walking distance (we haven't timed it).

| Hotel                   | Station access                                                   | What it is known for                                    | Our experience                          |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| The Capitol Hotel Tokyu | Exit 6 of Tameike-Sanno and Kokkai-gijidomae, directly connected | Club floor with lounge; in-house kaiseki and Chinese    | Stayed one night, May 2023              |
| The Kitano Hotel Tokyo  | Nagatacho Station Exit 4, 1-min walk                             | Relais & Châteaux member; all-gluten-free afternoon tea | Visited the tea lounge; have not stayed |

Which one fits depends on what you want from the stay rather than which is objectively better — I've only slept at one of them. If a quiet Relais & Châteaux address with an all-[gluten-free afternoon tea](https://www.nipponstays.com/gluten-free-afternoon-tea-tokyo/) is the draw, The Kitano is the pick; the tea lounge is the part of that hotel I've actually visited myself. If a club floor with its own lounge, plus a choice of in-house kaiseki or Chinese dinner, matters more, that's what The Capitol delivers, and it's what we used it for. The Capitol Bar on the fourth floor, the fitness club and the spa are all things I haven't used myself, so I'll leave those on the [hotel's own facility list](https://www.tokyuhotels.co.jp/en/capitol-h/facility/index.html?ref=nipponstays.com) rather than describe them. Check-in is 3pm and check-out is noon, though both can shift by plan ([hotel's own FAQ](https://www.tokyuhotels.co.jp/en/capitol-h/qa/index.html?ref=nipponstays.com), checked September 2026).

## FAQ: staying at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu

### How do I get to The Capitol Hotel Tokyu from the subway?

Exit 6 at both Tameike-Sanno Station (Ginza and Namboku lines) and Kokkai-gijidomae Station (Chiyoda and Marunouchi lines) connects directly into the building. Past the ticket gates for Exits 5 and 6, the Tokyu Capitol Tower entrance (Exit 6) is ahead on your left, and the hotel elevator is just past Ueshima Coffee Shop; the lobby is on the third floor.

### How big is a Club Deluxe room?

The Club Deluxe Hollywood Twin we stayed in was 44.9 m², with two 100 cm-wide beds on the club floor, which spans the 27th to 29th floors. It takes two guests; a third guest needs a Club Premier Corner Twin (59.3 m²) or Club Premier King (64.5 m²) with an extra bed. That's the room type and floor we booked in May 2023; other room categories are sized differently.

### Is dinner at Suiren worth it?

We paid roughly ¥25,000–30,000 per adult for kaiseki at Suiren in May 2023, and thought it was worth it — genuinely good cooking, and it was comfortable not to leave the building with the kids. In September 2026 the restaurant listed a matsutake kaiseki starting at ¥31,625 (¥44,275 and up with domestic matsutake from October) and a tempura course at ¥21,126; a regular kaiseki price isn't listed.

### Is parking free?

Hotel guests pay ¥4,000 a night to park; club-floor and suite guests park free, and valet at the 3rd-floor entrance is free for staying guests on request (7:00am–11:00pm, hotel's own FAQ, checked September 2026).
