"&Here SHINJUKU" Entrance
Taking advantage of its unique location between the bustling entertainment areas of Kabukicho, Golden Gai, and Shinjuku Station, as well as the rich greenery of Shinjuku Gyoen, this hotel seeks to combine the playfulness of the lively commercial district with the tranquil atmosphere of the garden, blending two contrasting themes under the concept “Neo Public House: A New Social Gathering Space Surrounded by Green Spaces.”
Inspired by the traditional concept of a “public house” as a place of emotional belonging, the hotel provides a space where guests can relax and socialize within the eclectic atmosphere of Shinjuku. In addition, the word “Neo” embodies the idea of creating new value by incorporating modern elements into Shinjuku’s historical character.
“&Here SHINJUKU” encapsulates the multifaceted charms of Shinjuku, offering all visitors a special experience that feels both new and familiar at the same time.
“&Here SHINJUKU” is located in an entertainment district where the bustling commercial districts of Kabukicho, Golden Gai, and Shinjuku Station meet the rich greenery of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden area, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the charms of Shinjuku’s unique blend of culture and nature.
The hotel is a three-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station, served by the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi and Fukutoshin Lines and the Toei Shinjuku Line, and a six-minute walk from Shinjuku-gyoemmae Station, offering convenient access to multiple rail lines. JR Shinjuku Station is also within a 12-minute walk, offering smooth access to the Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal.
Guided by the concept dubbed “Neo Public House: A New Social Gathering Space Surrounded by Green Spaces,” the hotel delivers a new kind of social gathering space where visitors can unwind in the midst of lush greenery while staying in the heart of the city.
In line with the “Neo Public” concept, the 11th-floor front lobby serves as a social gathering space that enriches the time guests spend outside of their guest rooms. The outdoor terrace extending from the lobby features spaces designed for different purposes, including the “Fireplace,” where guests can enjoy conversation around a fire, the “Lounge,” a space for socializing, and the “Private” space, where guests can enjoy a moment of privacy. Moreover, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the dazzling Shinjuku nightscape, including the NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building and Kabukicho Tower. In addition, there is a DJ booth next to the front desk, where DJs are invited to hold music events on weekends and for seasonal occasions. The hotel aims to provide a social gathering space that facilitates organic interaction among guests, as well as with staff.
The hotel offers a total of 65 guest rooms, including 19 triple rooms, 44 quad rooms, and two suites that accommodate six people. A total of 61 standard triple and quad rooms are available in 11 different room types, such as bunk bed rooms and rooms with raised tatami seating areas. The rooms feature materials designed to create a calm atmosphere. However, at night or for a change of pace, guests also have the option to switch on the neon art lighting to bring out another side of the room, transforming it into a space that reflects the nighttime character of Shinjuku.
The lineup of guest rooms is ideal not only for families but also for friends and group stays, accommodating a wide range of travel styles and purposes, from single-night stays to longer-term accommodations.
In addition, we offer two special suites that will further enrich the time guests have to themselves. The Premier Bar Suite Room and Premier Theater Suite Room have been designed to capture the atmosphere of the bars and cinemas found across Shinjuku. The hotel also offers two guest rooms with saunas, providing a space to refresh body and mind. Step away from the bustle of the city and indulge in an exceptional moment of relaxation in a private space.

3) A community space that captures the culture of Shinjuku
The interior of the hotel is decorated with artwork that allows guests to experience Shinjuku’s culture and arts scene.
Adorning the entrance is a tapestry produced by Tomita Sen-Kogei, a dyeing workshop located in Shinjuku City. Along with Kyoto and Kanazawa, Shinjuku was one of Japan’s three major historical dyeing hubs. This tapestry reinterprets this tradition with a modern touch, reflecting the hotel’s “NEO” concept. The graphics featured on the tapestry were created by artist Keita Miyairi. The design is also featured on the room keys. Inspired by the city and its people, as well as nature, it reflects Shinjuku’s duality.
The walls of the elevator hall on the first floor are decorated with artistic photographs that feature scenes of Shinjuku captured from unique perspectives. They capture the hidden charms of Shinjuku concealed in everyday life, inspiring guests to develop an interest in the city and feel a connection to it.

The new “&Here” brand of residential hotels was born from the desire to bring together two key elements of travel — enjoyment (“enjoy”) and relaxation (“relax”) — and to create a place that “attracts and connects” (“&”) what guests value most, including meaningful moments with family, friends, and other important people in their lives.
By offering travelers moments for both enjoyment and relaxation beyond the hotel, we aspire to leave them with special memories of their journey. The ampersand (&) featured in the logo embodies the concept of a hotel that connects travelers to the local community, to a wide range of experiences, and to the hotel staff. The design is inspired by mizuhiki, which are traditional Japanese decorative cords used to tie and adorn gifts. It also resembles a path, reflecting the hotel’s aspiration to guide guests to spectacular destinations.
Three Key “&Here” Concepts to Enhance Comfort Throughout Travels
“enjoy + relax = only here” - A hotel that ties enjoyment and relaxation together to deliver special stays
Enjoying the town, enjoying the hotel, enjoying trips together
Relaxing in spacious settings, relaxing together with peace of mind
Experiences only offered at the hotel, experiences only found in the town
