I visited with 4 friends, including those with babies. They prepared a spacious room at the back and divided it with curtains to create a semi-private space. They had prepared baby dishes as I had informed them in advance, showing that it is truly a high-class hotel. The atmosphere was great with a terrace as well. It was an afternoon tea with a choice of main dish, and the Eggs Benedict I chose was delicious! The ikura (salmon roe) was so big! Everyone chose different dishes, but they all looked delicious. The dessert was a Mont Blanc with meringue and cute mini ghost sweets. The whole hotel is dog-friendly, so you could see people enjoying afternoon tea with their dogs here and there. I wish I could have a fluffy dog someday. It's a bit of a walk from the south exit of Shinjuku Station, about 10 minutes on foot, so be mindful of the time. - Ordered Items - Kimpton Halloween "Montblanc" Afternoon Tea - Period: September 1, 2022 - October 31, 2022 - Price: Weekdays 6,325 yen / Weekends and Holidays 7,464 yen (tax and service charge included) - Time: 11:30-17:00 (2-hour limit) Menu: - Chicken & Chestnut Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette - Choice of Main Dish - Sweets Menu: Pistachio Basket Purple Sweet Potato Cheesecake Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc Pumpkin Mont Blanc Mont Blanc Blackberry Mousse Mint & Blue Curacao Mousse Chocolate Caramel Basket Double Berry Choux Cream Free-flow tea (last order 30 minutes before closing) Note: I review restaurants from the perspective of an office worker who eats out 200 times a year, recommending places for "girls' night out" or "dates."

Had a girls' night out at Kimpton. This time we had a dinner + afternoon tea course. It was so delicious! The Halloween sweets were super cute. The set tea was all-you-can-drink, and we could enjoy various types of tea. The main meat dish was incredibly tender and juicy. Every dish was delicious.

I used the bar a little bit. There were many dogs, and it seemed like there were more hotel guests. The bar area was bright and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, but I wouldn't recommend sitting at the counter. It might be better to use it for dining instead.

Afternoon tea has a lot of desserts, so I was happy that it also included a meal. The interior of the restaurant was lovely, and the foreign staff members were friendly, making it a comfortable place to be. I also appreciated the mini Jill Stuart perfume as a souvenir. The desserts were colorful and diverse, with plenty of mango options. Each dessert had its own unique characteristics, so I didn't get tired of them.

Enjoyed Perrier-Jouet along with cute champagne glasses, vegetables, and tempura at Bell. Not only was the alcohol delicious, but the service from the staff was fantastic, making the experience even more enjoyable. They were attentive and considerate. It happened to be raining on the day of our visit, but we stayed on the terrace without getting wet, which was very pleasant. It seems like it would be even better on a sunny day! In addition to champagne, they also offer a variety of wines by the glass, which was great. The dessert at the end was stylish, cute, and delicious. Personally, my favorite was the macaron! Despite being all-you-can-drink, the price was around ¥15,000, which was very reasonable. Highly recommended for champagne lovers.

I enjoyed the Jill Stuart collaboration afternoon tea. The colorful sweets lifted my spirits, but the access is just too difficult. The customer service and atmosphere of the shop are good, but it's far from the station, hard to find, and doesn't seem like a place I would visit again.

District Brasserie Bar Lounge offers a choice of three courses with free-flowing drinks. The menu includes seared sea bream, grilled sirloin, and cheesecake. The terrace seems like a great option during this season. I also went to Kimpton for lunch today, where the foreign staff members were friendly and easy to talk to. #Dentist #PreventiveDentistry #Whitening #Ceramic #Hamamatsucho #Minato-kuGirls #Orthodontics #Golf #GolfGirls #Beauty #Travel #StandUpPaddle #Surfing #SurfGirl #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLoveTheSea #LifeByTheSea #CameraClub #Wine #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLoveDeliciousFood #BoyMom #ParentingMom #OctoberBaby #Reiwa4Baby #5MonthsOld #ShinjukuGourmet

Perle de Jue Free Flow is a cozy space that feels like a small New York bar. The food was delicious, and although it would have been nice to drink on the terrace if the weather was better, the strong wind meant we had to stay indoors. It would be even better if the restaurant was closer to the station.

Early Summer Afternoon Tea Inspired by Jill Stuart Jill Stuart collaboration is back this year! A refreshing afternoon tea with plenty of tropical fruits such as mango, passion fruit, pineapple, and guava, perfect for early summer. This time's menu might be the best so far. I especially loved the Mango Blue Curacao Dome and Guava Millefeuille. For the main course, you can choose between pancakes and grilled beef sirloin. The beef sirloin is so delicious that I end up ordering it every time. When you order this afternoon tea, you also receive a sample of the popular Jill Stuart Eau de White Floral, which makes me happy. I also post gourmet photos on Instagram, so feel free to check it out.

District-Brasserie, Bar, Lounge/Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo. Valentine's Day is coming up and we decided to have a girls' gathering at Kimpton. The strawberry-themed pink sweets were too cute to resist. Kimpton offers not only sweets but also salads and mains, so you can enjoy a variety of dishes without getting bored. The option of savory dishes like meat was great too because sometimes you crave something salty. The ambiance at Kimpton is perfect for both dates and girls' gatherings. If you want to capture Instagram-worthy photos, I recommend sitting by the window or on the terrace. The "Kimpton Sink Pink! Strawberry Afternoon Tea" is available until February 28th. — Salad — Mixed leaf salad with Caesar dressing, bacon, and garlic croutons. — Main — Choose one: - Kingfish BBQ miso marinated - Barley & bamboo shoots salsa roja +690 yen - Australian beef sirloin grill with Inca potato puff, sautéed green vegetables, and miso gravy +2530 yen - Yogurt-marinated chicken kebab with chili and peanut dip, flatbread - District Pancake - District Signature Egg Benedict +805 yen — Sweets Menu — Strawberry chocolate tart Strawberry swirl Strawberry chocolate basket Strawberry dome Strawberry cube Strawberry macaron Strawberry mousse Strawberry choux Strawberry donut — Coffee — Blend coffee Iced coffee Café latte (hot/iced) Espresso — Harney & Sons Tea Selection — Hot cinnamon spice Peppermint herbal Celebration — Tea Selection — Darjeeling Earl Grey Special Assam Select Wen Shan Baozhong Tea Mino Shirakawa Tea Chazoen Special Sencha Mino Shirakawa Tea Chazoen Top Hojicha Sayama Tea Ikenoyaen Specialty Red Hojicha — Non-Caffeine — Organic Rooibos Tea #TokyoFoodie #ShinjukuFoodie #ShinjukuCafe #CafeHopping #CafeLife #AfternoonTeaLover #KimptonShinjukuTokyo #KimptonHotels #StrawberryAfternoonTea #CafeEnthusiasts #AfternoonTeaLovers #MizukichiFoodie

I recently shared a trendy croffle and tuna sandwich with a friend. Both were very delicious! The croffle was quite sweet (it comes with white chocolate sauce which is really tasty when poured on, but very sweet) and had a good amount of volume, so I thought it might be a bit difficult to finish one on my own. I also had a matcha latte as a drink, which was not too sweet and very tasty.

I visited the Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo hotel, which feels like an art gallery in New York. The atmosphere is like an American brand, "Kimpton". They also have open terrace seats, so I would like to try sitting on the terrace on a sunny day. The Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Rose was delicious. Thank you!

After a long time, I went to Kimpton's afternoon tea with three other female friends, including a friend's dog, for a year-end party. The good thing about the cafe on the 2nd floor of the Kimpton Hotel is that it's laid-back. The staff in the hall are all dog lovers and very friendly to dogs, and even though they said it's a 1.5-hour all-you-can-drink tea, no one is really keeping track of time, so we ended up ordering tea for about 2 hours. The downside is that it's too laid-back, so the operation is a bit disorganized. Orders take a while to arrive, and both the food and tea are served slowly. But in the end, you can enjoy tea for over 2 hours. Despite the operation issues, the food and desserts are delicious, making it perfect for a girls' night out or a meal with fellow dog owners. It's not just Instagram-worthy, but the taste is also great, so it's a valuable place to visit again.

Opened in October 2020, this luxury lifestyle hotel has already become a popular brand with 70 locations worldwide. Located in Nishi-Shinjuku facing the Koshu Kaido, it is near Shinjuku Central Park and Yoyogi Park. The theme is "Manhattan meets Shinjuku," reflected in the NY art scene-inspired design of the interior. The hotel features works from 20 artists, creating a gallery-like atmosphere. The "District Brasserie Bar Lounge" on the second floor embodies the theme with dishes inspired by "Manhattan meets Tokyo." One popular offering is the artistic "Afternoon Tea." In spring, they collaborated with a cosmetics brand for a special afternoon tea, and now they have launched the "District Festive Afternoon Tea for Christmas." The plate includes pistachio and mulberry baskets resembling Christmas trees, elderflower and apple cube gift boxes, stollen, and more. The main dishes include egg benedicts with generous amounts of caviar and smoked salmon, as well as District pancakes with seasonal fruits. This generous portion is perfect as a lunch substitute, which explains why there are many repeat customers.

Kimpton Hotel Shinjuku. NY style. I visited here with Dr. T, a senior doctor who is planning to open a clinic and is looking for interior design inspiration. The staff, including servers, seemed to be foreigners, adding to the foreign travel-like atmosphere of the place. I enjoyed a KAGUA beer by Hoshino while snacking. The art pieces in the hall were very tasteful and worth seeing. My wife also enjoyed the original cocktail she ordered, made with absinthe.

In Tokyo, the Mandarin Peninsula is pet-friendly just like the Mandarin Peninsula, but in my experience, it has by far the highest rate of pets (dogs) staying there. The atmosphere feels like it's all about the pets, and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. Not only the rooms, but also the cafe and restaurant are pet-friendly. You constantly encounter dogs in areas other than the rooms, but they are all well-behaved even when there are other dogs around, which is surprising. The age range of the guests on this day was mainly 30-50 years old, including several solo female travelers. The cafe patrons were younger than expected. The clientele was welcoming and the atmosphere was comfortable. There is no club lounge, but all guests receive special perks in the morning and evening. Evening Social Hour is from 5-6pm at the District Brasserie Bar Lounge on the 2nd floor, where you can enjoy sangria, soft drinks, and canapes. The staff kindly offers refills. Morning Kickstart is available until 10 or 11 am at The Jones Cafe Bar on the 1st floor, where you can take out one drink. Considering the room rate for this day, these two services are much appreciated and add value. There may or may not be a welcome drink or welcome sweets at check-in. The bottled water provided is Fuji brand, 780ml, which needs to be placed diagonally in the refrigerator to chill. Coffee is Nespresso, and there is no tea, which is unusual. Green tea is Sayuri, which may not be to everyone's liking. Room service is available, and the original bath amenities are nice, especially the hand soap with a citrus scent. The staff I encountered were all friendly and cheerful, especially the women at the restaurant on the 2nd floor. The room layout may vary even within the same category, and there are other small details that may be of interest to those with a playful spirit. If you are traveling with a pet or not staying in a suite, this hotel may be more suited for solo travelers or younger guests. The lobby is small, and at times there may not be a place to hang out, especially during weddings or when the cafe is busy.

I'm not sure if they still offer it, but I booked a brunch course with unlimited bread refills through Ikyu. You could choose two main dishes, so it was quite a generous portion for women. As a result, even though it was all-you-can-eat bread, I couldn't eat that much. The space was elegant and spacious, so it seemed friendly even for families with children. There were many items on the menu that would appeal to health-conscious women, and I really had a hard time deciding what to order. In the end, I was quite full and thought I might need to go on a diet, but it was delicious so I'm satisfied.

The Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo is a pet-friendly hotel where pets of any size that can fit in the elevator are welcome. Almost all floors are pet-friendly, allowing guests to spend time with their beloved dogs. The staff were very friendly and treated pets as important family members. We had a lunch meeting at the "District Brasserie Bar Lounge" on the 2nd floor. The spacious venue consists of four areas: dining, bar, lounge, and terrace, where pets are allowed in the lounge and terrace areas. It is rare to find a restaurant where pets can be taken indoors, making it a valuable find. The bread served for each person was delicious, and the omelets and hamburgers we ordered were authentic and tasty. They also provided meals for dogs, so our dogs were very satisfied. Most of the customers that day were accompanied by dogs. We had a great time enjoying a delicious meal without any worries about bringing our pets along.

On this day, I had a meal at this restaurant♪ "Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo". I walked from Shinjuku Station and it took me just under 15 minutes. The nearest station seems to be Tochomae. The highlight of the day was the afternoon tea collaboration with Pierre Herme♪ The first cup was Sayama tea from Ikenoyaen, served in a cute teapot that got me excited! For the salad, it was a Caesar salad with plenty of cheese. For the main course, there were 4 options to choose from. I chose the Spicy Oyama Chicken Thigh, Grilled Sweet Potato, Steamed Vegetable Salad, and Chili & Lemongrass Relish. The portion was surprisingly large and the meat was juicy and delicious with a nice spice kick. The most enjoyable part of the day was the dessert platter♪ Pierre Herme Paris New York Cheesecake, Pierre Herme Paris Macaron Chloe, Pierre Herme Paris Cheesecake Celeste, Pierre Herme Paris Shoe Fraises, Strawberry Tart, Strawberry Delight, Strawberry Roll Cake, and Strawberry Donuts. While not all were Pierre Herme Paris sweets, they were all very cute! I enjoyed both the desserts and the meal. The seating was spacious and comfortable, making it an enjoyable restaurant to spend time in. You can find more of my reviews on my blog here: http://kapilog.yutabi.net/

There are two dining options within the hotel, but I will mention here that only guests can use them. Firstly, there is a welcome drink offered during check-in. Friendly foreign staff will ask for your preference, whether it's coffee, tea, hot, or iced. They even have lattes and flavored teas available. The room's complimentary mineral water is Fuji Water in a paper pack. The mini-bar offers a unique selection, including a delicious yuzu drink, though it is pricey. There is also a social hour in the evening at the first-floor restaurant, exclusively for hotel guests, offering two pinchos and one dessert. The staff will come to your table and ask if you would like seconds after finishing.

This time, through Ikyu, I stayed at a new IHG hotel. The promotion was called "Invited to Social Hour + Kimpton Living Room", which was quite different from what I imagined and surprised me. Free drinks are available from 5:00 to 6:00 pm, and you can order white wine, red wine, or coffee cocktails. As someone born in the Showa era, I had decided on beer as my first choice, so even if it wasn't free, I didn't mind ordering one. This was much appreciated. The food was served twice, at 15 minutes and 45 minutes intervals, but it wasn't particularly delicious. The room level is similar to Marriott's AC Hotel, but of course, the quality is better here. The staff had that friendly attitude typical of foreign companies, which I like. However, despite being new and pleasant, I'm not sure if it's worth the price.
