Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo Shiodome Review – Tatami Room in the Heart of Tokyo

In the middle of the high-rise building forest of Tokyo’s Shiodome district, a large hotel with around 500 rooms is located. Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Shiodome is directly connected via an underground passage to the Toei Oedo Line Shiodome Station, which is especially impressive because you can move from the station to the lobby without getting a single drop on rainy days. This overwhelming transportation accessibility is the first charm that real travelers commonly point out.

If we were to pick the unique features of this hotel, they would be the 60㎡ Japanese-Western style room (tatami room) and the free daily happy hour. It is rare to find a high-rise hotel in central Tokyo where you can experience a Japanese-Western style room with tatami space. Also, the daily complimentary happy hour service for guests is an impressive point frequently mentioned in traveler reviews.

🛏️ Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Shiodome Room & Amenity Guide

The rooms at Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Shiodome were renovated in stages from 2020 to 2024. The rooms range from the standard 30㎡ type to the 60㎡ Japanese-Western style room (tatami room). The 60㎡ Japanese-Western style room, rare for a business hotel in central Tokyo, is this hotel’s biggest differentiator. Additionally, the sofa bed layout is designed to accommodate various travel groups, including couples, families, and groups of friends.

Executive King (Japanese-Western Style / Max 4 Guests)

This is a Japanese-Western style room of about 60㎡, a newly introduced room type in April 2024. The key point, which you can only experience at this hotel, is the Japanese-Western fusion layout that harmonizes two 200cm x 210cm king beds with a tatami space. It is especially well-suited for family travelers who want to enjoy the atmosphere of a tatami room in a high-rise hotel in central Tokyo, or for travelers who want a traditional Japanese feel.

Executive Twin (Japanese-Western Style / Max 4 Guests)

This is a Japanese-Western style twin room of about 60㎡, renovated in April 2024, with two 100cm x 210cm beds.

It is suitable for groups of 4 adults or family trips with children.

Deluxe Twin (Shower Booth / Max 4 Guests)

This room is about 30㎡ and was renovated in April 2020. It has two 120cm x 210cm beds and an additional sofa/small bed (90cm x 188cm).

💡 Pro Tips for Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Shiodome

1. Use the 2nd-floor pedestrian bridge to walk to Don Quijote Ginza without crossing any crosswalks while enjoying the Tokyo cityscape. As a bonus, you’ll see Howl’s Moving Castle clock and Tokyo Tower.
2. Combining the Tokyo Pass with the Oedo Line 72-hour pass gives you access to most major tourist attractions. Use a Suica card separately only when transferring to/from Narita and Haneda airports to save efficiently on transportation costs.
3. Happy hour is free daily from 17:00 to 19:00. Stop by for drinks and snacks before heading out for the evening to save on dinner costs.
4. The underground passage route from Shimbashi Station can feel a bit complicated at first. If you have a lot of luggage, using the underground passage from Oedo Line Shiodome Station is much simpler and faster.
5. The convenience store on the 2nd floor is only open on weekdays. On weekends and public holidays, it’s convenient to use the nearby building (Caretta Shiodome commercial complex) or find the convenience store near the subway station in advance.
