If you haven’t decided what to do this Christmas, then now is the time. Every hotel in Tokyo has limited-time offers, whether a multi-course dinner or a take-away party package. We rounded up our top choices for Tokyoites wanting to splurge on a luxurious dinner in the city or at home.
1. Christmas desserts from Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo
Hotel Chinzanso is once again offering a set of holiday sweets to enjoy at home. The basic set, recommended for two people, includes a set of 10 small cakes. Enjoy classic Christmas pudding, soft chocolate dessert, nutty pistachio cake, strawberry tart and a mango-infused baked cheesecake. The set also includes a cake stand to really recreate the experience of a luxurious dessert spread at home. Hotel Chinzanso also offers a party set. Get all the same treats but also sparkling rosé and a decorative holiday wreath to decorate the table as you set up for the last course of your meal.
