Stay a night near Tokyo Skytree and you can experience what day-trippers miss: quiet mornings in Skytree Town, and the glowing Skytree at night from some rooms or a top-floor bath. Asakusa is close by too, so it makes a good base for exploring the old downtown.
Below are six hotels in the Oshiage, Kinshicho, and Asakusa areas, starting with the one closest to the Skytree. The choices include a hotel directly across from the tower, a design hotel by Kengo Kuma, and an affordable inn with a top-floor bath, covering a range of styles and budgets.
Choose your hotel based on three things: whether it has a Skytree view, how close it is to a station and the sights, and whether it fits your budget. Rooms with a Skytree view are limited, so book early if the view matters to you.
Rates vary widely by season and room package, so check each hotel's link for current prices.
Richmond Hotel Premier Tokyo Schole (across from Skytree Town)
This hotel sits directly across from Skytree Town, a one-to-two-minute walk from Oshiage Station and about three minutes from Tokyo Skytree Station. With around 260 rooms and mid-range rates, it is a strong choice if location is your priority.
Richmond calls it its first "experiential" hotel, with a focus on culture, wellness, and food. There's a sauna, and the moment you step outside, the tower is right in front of you.

ONE@Tokyo by insomnia (steps from Oshiage, designed by Kengo Kuma)
About a three-minute walk from Oshiage Station, this is a design hotel with interiors overseen by the architect Kengo Kuma. Rates range from mid-range to slightly higher, and the rooms and common areas share a calm, understated feel. It suits travelers who value quiet and design.
The rooftop terrace looks straight out at the Skytree. Some rooms, such as the "Loft" type, also have a Skytree view, but only a limited number are available, so select that room type when booking if the view matters to you.
Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo (Kinshicho, rooms with a Skytree view)
The hotel is about a three-minute walk from Kinshicho Station, via the JR Sobu Line north exit or the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line. Oshiage is one stop away on the Hanzomon Line, with the fastest trip about five minutes, so although it is not within walking distance, getting there is easy. It has around 383 rooms, with rates in the mid-range.
Some rooms face the Skytree, and there is a "guaranteed Skytree-view room" plan. On the top floor, the restaurant Ren offers a full view of the tower, making the hotel worth considering for the view alone. The view isn't in every room, so book the guaranteed-view plan rather than leaving it to chance.

THE GATE HOTEL Kaminarimon by HULIC (Asakusa, views from the upper floors)
The hotel is about a two-minute walk from Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, right by Kaminarimon. It sits at the higher end, verging on luxury, and offers a calm, polished stay in the heart of Asakusa.
The restaurant and bar on the upper floors look out over the Asakusa streetscape and Tokyo Skytree. The hotel emphasizes experiencing Asakusa rather than simply seeing it, and makes a convenient base for exploring the area's backstreets.

Dormy Inn EXPRESS Asakusa (Skytree from the top-floor bath)
The hotel is about a two-minute walk from Asakusa Station (Toei Asakusa, Ginza, and Tobu lines), and rates are in the affordable-to-mid range. A good choice if you want to keep costs down but still soak in a large communal bath.
The 10th floor has a large bath with a sauna and an open-air tub, looking out over the Sumida River and Tokyo Skytree. Dormy Inn's signature free late-night ramen (yonaki soba) is available too.
One catch: access to the bath with a view alternates between men and women depending on the day. Monday to Thursday it is men only. Friday through Sunday and holidays, women have it 15:00–20:00 and men from 20:30 until 10:00 the next morning (subject to change). So a woman hoping to use it on a weekday may be out of luck; check the current schedule on the official site before you book.

Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International (a base for Asakusa sightseeing)
A mid-range hotel in Asakusa. It is not right next to the Skytree, but some rooms and the breakfast venue overlook the tower (only a handful of rooms actually face it, so ask before you book).
The location suits anyone who wants to explore the area around Senso-ji and along Nakamise on foot. Explore by day, then head out again to see Senso-ji or the Skytree at night.
