THE GATE HOTEL Kaminarimon - Restaurant & Bar

THE GATE HOTEL Kaminarimon - Restaurant & Bar

If you have been following my blog, you probably know that I stayed in THE GATE HOTEL Kaminarimon during my trip to Japan this September. I already talked about all the things this hotel has to offer, but here's a quick rundown in case you missed my previous posts. THE GATE HOTEL Kaminarimon is a modern, stylish and affordable hotel located in Tokyo historic Asakusa District. You probably heard of Asakusa since it is a famous tourist destination thanks to attractions such as the Sensoji temple and the nearby Tokyo Skytree. It is also a popular nightlife area thanks to places such as the Hoppy Street where you can get drinks and delicious meals during the whole day in one of its many izakayas and bars. Now back to the hotel. My room was, as it is already explained in a previous post, an Essential Twin type room located on the 9th floor. It had everything I would expect from a hotel of this type and I was very satisfied with it. But this hotel has several more things to offer besides the room you stay in.

First is the "R Restaurant & Bar" located on the 13th floor of the hotel. It opens for business in 6 in the morning and is open until midnight. However, the guests of the hotel can use it 24-hours a day. In the morning the restaurant offers a breakfast buffet, which I absolutely loved. I could eat a wide variety of meals all the while enjoying the nice view of Asakusa and especially the beautiful Tokyo Skytree. When I arrived there for breakfast, I was escorted to my table by the kind staff members. They offered me some coffee and tea and asked me what shall I order as my main meal. I had the option of several meals such as an egg benedict or curry benedict, but I choose a French toast since that is one of my favorite meals. 

Before the main meal arrived, I went to the buffet table and grabbed some cereals as well as scooped some tasty honey beautifully arranged inside a honeycomb. That was a really delicious meal after which I grab some salad and potatoes to eat with my main meal. Also, I have to complement the amazing orange juice which was freshly squeezed right in front of me.

Besides the breakfast, this restaurant also offers lunch and dinner courses with a wide variety of meal options. It also has a terrace so you can enjoy your meal on a fresh air.

On the roof of the hotel there is a bar called "B Bar", which is an exclusive private area for the guests of the hotel and is open in the evening. There you can enjoy a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It was very relaxing to enjoy a nice drink while observing the night-time view of the Tokyo Skytree and the surrounding buildings. There's a terrace there as well, but unfortunately, it was raining while I was there so I did not have the chance to experience it fully.

In the end, I have to say that THE GATE HOTEL Kaminarimon is a great and affordable hotel which I wholeheartedly recommend you to check out if you're planning on visiting this part of Tokyo. You will not be disappointed.
