Hotel Review: Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo (Japan)
If you’re looking for a stylish and centrally located hotel in Tokyo, Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo should be on your radar. Situated right on Namiki-dori Street, one of the most iconic and upscale streets in the Ginza district, this hotel combines contemporary design with local touches, giving you a taste of Tokyo’s sleek sophistication.
Ginza is my favorite area to stay in Tokyo—it’s elegant, clean, and far less chaotic than places like Shinjuku or Shibuya. Whether you’re in the city to shop, dine, or explore, Hyatt Centric Ginza places you in the heart of it all.

Location
Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo
6 Chome-6-7 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0061, Japan
One of the standout features of Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo is its prime location in the heart of Ginza—Tokyo’s upscale shopping and dining district. From the hotel, you’re just steps away from luxury boutiques, local eateries, and major department stores like Mitsukoshi and Ginza Six, both within a 5-minute walk. Even the famous Tsukiji Outer Market is easily reachable on foot, just 15 minutes away.
The hotel is also exceptionally well-connected by public transit, with three major Metro stations nearby. Ginza Station is only a 4-minute walk, providing access to several subway lines for quick travel across the city. Shimbashi Station, located just 7 minutes away, sits on the Yamanote Line—Tokyo’s iconic green loop line that connects major neighborhoods like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Tokyo Station. For even more convenience, Yurakucho Station (on the Yurakucho Line) is just an 8-minute walk away, giving you even more flexibility when exploring the city.
Lobby
The lobby of Hyatt Centric Ginza is located on the 4th level of the hotel. There are no direct elevators from the 1st floor entrance to the rooms, so guests must change elevators on the 4th floor. I actually really loved this lobby aesthetics – it’s a contemporary design with pops of bold reds and yellow, with playful elements that reflect the vibrant energy of Ginza. There are artistic touches and overall the vibes are very hip.
There is a dramatic wrap-around staircase that leads downstairs to NAMIKI667, the hotel’s bar and restaurant.
In one section of the lobby there was a complimentary refreshment station including canned green tea and an assortment of Japanese snacks. There were classic arcade game stations which made it fun.
Rooms & Suites
There are a total of 164 rooms at the Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, including 9 suites, and they are all designed in a modern, stylish flair that reflects the vibrant energy of Ginza.
We stayed in the 1 King Bed Room, which is the hotel’s entry-level option—but at 35 sqm (376 sq ft), it felt incredibly spacious by Tokyo standards. The room featured a king-size bed, a 50” Ultra HD LCD TV, BOSE Bluetooth speaker, Nespresso machine with complimentary coffee capsules, reusable water bottles, and free Wi-Fi.
I had read some reviews about the beds being too firm—but for us, that was a bonus. Both my husband and I sleep on a firm mattress at home, so we found it incredibly comfortable.
Like many Japanese hotels, the room included a set of pajamas which were super comfortable, as well as Yukatas (Japanese kimonos), bathrobes and slippers.
While I usually lean toward minimalist aesthetics, I really appreciated the bold red and yellow artwork and accents in the room. It added a playful, distinctly Japanese touch to the otherwise modern decor.
The bathroom setup was also great, with a separate rainfall shower and bathtub, and the vanity area located outside the bathroom—super convenient for getting ready.
One of our favorite parts was the cozy sitting area by the windows, offering a lovely view of the Ginza skyline—perfect for winding down after a day of exploring. I always appreciate in-room tables in hotels – especially in Japan because those nightly Konbini (convenience store) runs where we grab a bunch of new snacks to try. The double-layered blackout shades were also perfect for recovering from jet lag—we slept like babies!
Dining
NAMIKI667 is the hotel’s signature restaurant, and they also have a NAMIKI667 Bar & Lounge.
Unfortunately our list of restaurants to try in Tokyo was quite extensive, so we did not have time to try lunch or dinner here. However, we did have breakfast here, and I’d say this is THE best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had – even better than the breakfast we had in our Maldives hotel on our honeymoon.
Breakfast is served at NAMIKI667 and features a well-curated mix of Western favorites, a made-to-order egg station, and an impressive selection of Japanese dishes. The quality and variety were top-notch, and everything was beautifully presented.
I really loved the overall vibe of the restaurant and bar—it’s chic yet relaxed, with a laid-back atmosphere that feels effortlessly stylish.
One standout feature is the Happy Hour at the Bar & Lounge, where you can enjoy drinks for around $6—a great deal in Ginza. The menu includes red and white wines, beer, a Whiskey Highball, and a house cocktail. Best part is – unlike the typical U.S. Happy Hour that lasts just a couple of hours in the late afternoon, here it runs from 11 AM to 7 PM. That’s eight hours of great value in one of Tokyo’s most upscale neighborhoods.
GYM
Although we did not have time to use it, there is a gym in the hotel. It’s located on the same level as the lobby on the 4th floor. There are treadmills, exercise bikes, free weights, yoga mats, resistance training. Honestly, my husband and I were walking 20-25,000 steps a day in Japan so I counted this as my work out!
Hyatt Point redemptions
Hotels in Ginza tend to be pricey, given its upscale setting. The room rates at Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo start at $450-500 USD, and go up during peak seasons.
If you are part of the World of Hyatt loyalty program, you can book the standard rooms starting at 25,000 points which I think is a great deal.
