Where to stay in Roppongi
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Roppongi Hills anchors the choice. Rooms run expensive across this part of Minato, and the trade is night life on the doorstep against quiet, with the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo City View, and the National Art Center, Tokyo filling the daytime. Azabu lies quieter to the south, and Akasaka takes over toward the government blocks.
Two big complexes carry the shopping.

Several foreign embassies stand in or near the district, and much of the nightlife is geared toward foreigners.
Older ground remains at Kikuchi House (Motoazabu) and the Okura Museum of Art.
