Which room should you book at Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo?
Book the Mandarin Grand Room and ask for the west side: 60 square meters, Fuji on clear days from that side. It is 10 square meters bigger than the Deluxe Room, sleeps three instead of two, comes with king or twin beds and has bamboo floors. On October 29, 2026, its page showed an average rate of JPY 221,575 a night against JPY 202,600 on the Deluxe Room page, a difference of about JPY 19,000. For that, I'd take the extra room. In summer, when haze hides Fuji, take the Deluxe Premier for the view of Skytree, Tokyo's tall broadcast tower, instead.
The hotel has 157 rooms and 22 suites, per its rooms page. Every category in the table below is between the 30th and 36th floors, so the view decides first and the floor second: Fuji to the west, Tokyo Skytree to the northeast, or Tokyo Bay.
Rates on the hotel's pages move with demand; the figures here are what each page showed on the day it was checked.

Fuji, Skytree or Tokyo Bay?
Fuji if you are here between November and February, Skytree the rest of the year. The hotel names its rooms by what is outside. The Deluxe Room page says Fuji is visible from the rooms on the west side, weather permitting, and the Mandarin Grand Room says the same. The Deluxe Premier Room is the Skytree room, on floors 32 to 36.
Fuji is about 100 kilometers away and shows most often on cold, clear winter mornings; in the summer haze you may not see it for a week. Skytree is a few kilometers away and lit every night, so it is there whenever you are in the room. For a summer stay I'd book the Deluxe Premier for the Skytree view. For a winter stay I'd book the Mandarin Grand and ask for the west side.
The Deluxe Corner Room has windows on two walls toward Tokyo Bay or the city. It has the most daylight of the 50-square-meter rooms, but it is king only and has neither of the two landmarks.
Which room would you skip?
I'd skip the Deluxe Corner Room unless light matters more to you than a landmark. On October 29 its page showed the same average rate as the Mandarin Grand Room, JPY 221,575, for 10 fewer square meters and one bed type. For the same money, the Grand gives you more room and a chance of Fuji.
I'd also not book a plain Deluxe Room and hope for Fuji. The page says the view comes from the west-side rooms, and nothing in the booking guarantees one. If Fuji is the point, book the Grand and ask for the west side.
What should a family book?
Book the Deluxe Corner Connecting Room: 100 square meters, a king room and a twin room joined, for up to four people. The connecting room page puts it on floors 33 to 36, facing Skytree, Tokyo Bay or the city, with a soaking tub and a rain shower in each bathroom. Two connected rooms give each pair its own bathroom, which is what a family with teenagers needs more than a sofa bed.
For three people, the Mandarin Grand Room takes a third guest on its own. The Oriental and Mandarin Corner suites also connect to other rooms, per their pages.
Who should upgrade to a suite?
Upgrade to the Premier Suite for a corner living room, or the Oriental Suite for Fuji from the higher floors. The suites start at 90 square meters and include free use of the spa's vitality pool, steam room and sauna. The Premier Suite is a corner suite with views across the city; Fuji shows from the west-side suites. The Oriental Suite, at 100 square meters on floors 33 to 36, is the one the hotel describes with both the skyline and Fuji, and at JPY 632,700 on the day it was checked, it is the one to book for an occasion.
The Mandarin Suite is also 100 square meters with Fuji as the backdrop, but it sits lower, on floor 30 for the king and 31 to 32 for twins. For a long stay in winter it is the suite I'd ask about first, because the Fuji view is the reason to have the extra space.
What should you ask for when you book?
Ask for the west side and the highest floor in your category, and say so at booking, not at check-in. Floors run from 30 to 36 for most rooms, and the higher floors clear more of the city. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by noon, per the hotel's rooms page; if you land early, ask for an early room in the same message.
What else should you plan around a Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo stay?
The hotel is in Nihonbashi, on the east side of central Tokyo. The where to stay in Tokyo guide compares it with Marunouchi and Ginza, and the early arrival hotel guide covers the hours before check-in. For dinner, the Tokyo omakase booking guide lists the counters and their booking windows. To compare another hotel near the palace, see the Palace Hotel Tokyo room guide.
