Experience Inclusivity: Inside Tokyo's Trailblazing Diversity Boutique Hotel

Cen Diversity Hotel & Cafe is more than just a place to stay – it's at the heart of Tokyo's lively diversity, proudly standing as a beacon for inclusivity and a crossroads of culture.

Cen Diversity Hotel & Cafe isn't your average boutique hotel in Tokyo.

As one of the city's first diversity-embracing establishments, this top community-based hotel in Tokyo really understands the importance of celebrating what makes each of us unique and honouring the individuality of each and every visitor. With a foundational mantra to "respect the way people live and get close to all people", Hotel Cen's guiding principle emphasises respecting and embracing varied lifestyles, with all staff expertly trained in fostering an LGBT and culturally inclusive atmosphere. Talk about a cool concept!

This modern haven, adorned with a 3-star rating, draws its name from the spirit of "Centum," a Latin term that reflects the hotel's commitment to accommodating a multitude of lifestyles without bias. Within its structure, Hotel Cen houses 41 snug double rooms and three superior double rooms, each meticulously designed to serve as sanctuaries of tranquillity and rest. Despite their compact nature, these rooms are the epitome of urban functionality, tailored for the economically conscious voyager in pursuit of a stylish yet affordable retreat away from the city's bustling streets.

Perched in the heart of Tokyo’s dynamic nightlife, Cen Diversity Hotel & Cafe offers a front-row seat to the enigmatic after-hour antics of the Shin-Okubo district and the thrilling vibes of Kabukicho. As the crowning centre of K-pop culture in Tokyo, the Okubo neighbourhood stands as an enticing haven for K-pop aficionados and revellers, brimming with life from sunset to sunrise. However, the locale's daytime buzz is no less compelling, with lively markets and quaint establishments sketching out a dynamic portrait of Tokyo’s complex charm.

One of the hotel's unique features is its on-site laundry services, which are particularly convenient for guests staying for extended periods or those needing a quick solution after being caught in Tokyo's unpredictable climate.

Additionally, guests can find a haven in the hotel's cafe, where they can enjoy premium coffee, light American-style bites, and an assortment of beverages on a sun-kissed terrace – an uncommon indulgence amidst the city's compact urban landscape.

A complimentary breakfast – further testament to the hotel's value – is included with every stay, further promoting the hotel's convenience at an affordable price point.

A short stroll takes you to Kabukicho, Tokyo’s infamous and lively entertainment area, pulsating with activity around the clock. Bordering this is the glitzy Shinjuku neighbourhood, where neon lights guide you through a perpetual celebration of dining, shopping, and late-night amusement available till dawn.

While Hotel Cen's location is ideal for those eager to experience Tokyo's vibrant nightlife, be aware that the area's nocturnal festivities can carry on well into the night. Guests who are particularly sensitive to noise may prefer staying a bit farther from the lively Shin-Okubo district.
