Godzilla Hotel in Shinjuku Marks Decade with Unveiling of Themed Accommodation
In the heart of Tokyo's bustling Shinjuku district, the Hotel Gracery Shinjuku stands out as a unique destination for travellers, offering an unparalleled Godzilla-themed experience.
The hotel's most iconic feature is the 80-ton Godzilla Head that towers over the city from the eighth-floor terrace of the Shinjuku Toho Building. This massive statue, standing 50 meters above the Kabukicho district, has become a well-known landmark and a must-visit attraction for both locals and tourists[1][2].
Recently, the hotel introduced a new addition to its themed rooms, the Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah Room. This interactive suite, opened to celebrate the hotel's tenth anniversary, is a production of Toho Visual Art, the intellectual property owner. The room features built-in lighting and sound controls, themed furniture, and props that allow guests to re-create battle scenes between the two legendary kaiju at a 1/50th scale[1][2].
Beyond the themed rooms, the hotel's lobby, front desk, store, and lounge are adorned with aesthetics inspired by Godzilla. Visitors can find vintage movie posters, an actual Godzilla suit used in filmmaking, and kaiju-style decorations throughout the hallways and elevators on the Godzilla floors[1][2].
Accommodation-wise, the hotel offers 970 rooms, many with views of the Godzilla head. It caters to a global clientele, with approximately 90% of its guests being foreign travellers. The atmosphere is lively, though rooms have been noted to be compact in size[2][3].
The hotel's location in the vibrant Shinjuku entertainment and business district provides easy access to local attractions and transport hubs, making it both a novelty stay for Godzilla fans and a practical choice for visitors to Tokyo[3][4].
For those looking to extend their Godzilla experience, the hotel offers a themed cafe menu and limited-edition merchandise available for purchase in the lobby[1][2].
On July 1, the hotel will introduce the Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah Room, offering a new experience inspired by classic tokusatsu film sets. A press preview of this exciting new suite was recently held[5].
Whether you're a Godzilla fan or simply looking for a unique hotel stay, Hotel Gracery Shinjuku offers a world-class Godzilla fan experience that blends functional hotel amenities with an immersive cinematic atmosphere[1][2]. Reservations and details can be found on the official Hotel Gracery Shinjuku website.
