Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa can host a convention, a gala dinner or a launch for up to 2,400 guests in a single ballroom, run breakout sessions for 54 to 400 people, and lodge delegates in 908 bedrooms on site. The hotel stands in the Takanawa district of Minato, Tokyo, near Shinagawa, and is operated by Prince Hotels.
Seminars and company events
The hotel belongs to the Takanawa area complex of Prince Hotels, which markets its banquet halls together for conferences, incentive programs and international meetings through a dedicated MICE team. For an organizer, this means a large plenary, several breakout halls, a small meeting room and accommodation for a large delegation under one roof. Annual events such as a Christmas dinner show in Hiten show the scale the ballroom is set up for.
Weddings and receptions
The Takanawa area wedding team handles ceremonies and receptions for the hotel, with Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisine available for the banquet. The garden and its historic buildings serve as a setting for photographs. Details on ceremony formats and capacities for weddings are given by the wedding team rather than on the hotel's main site.
Rooms and capacities
Hiten, the grand banquet hall on the basement level, covers 2,013 m2 and takes from 1,134 to 2,400 people depending on the layout. On the third floor, the Heian, Tenpyo, Fuji and Hagi halls range from 330 to 416 m2 and take 54 to 400 people each, which suits parallel sessions, lunches or a separate exhibition. A meeting room of 57 m2 on the first floor seats up to 12 for a board meeting or a speakers' briefing. The hotel publishes overall ranges per hall rather than figures for each seating style.
Accommodation
The hotel has 908 guest rooms, and every room has a balcony. Club lounge services are available, though the hotel has announced changes to how the lounge operates and a suspension of in-room dining, so organizers should check current services when booking.
Catering
Catering is in-house. Restaurants include Shimizu for Japanese cuisine, Kokiden for Chinese cuisine, the Zakuro buffet and café, the Momiji lounge, the Asama main bar and the Shumei Japanese-style room, which can serve a private dinner for a small group.
History and setting
The building was designed by the Japanese architect Togo Murano, whose curved facades and balconies give the hotel its profile. The hotel shares a Japanese garden of about 20,000 m2 with seasonal flowers, trees and ponds. Its Kannodo hall, bell tower and Sanmon gate were designated tangible cultural properties in 2021.
Getting there
Shinagawa Station, served by the Shinkansen, JR lines and the Keikyu line to Haneda Airport, is a short walk away. Haneda is the closer of Tokyo's two airports. The hotel has announced a scheduled power outage for maintenance affecting stays on January 11 and 24, 2027.
