Serviced apartments can sometimes seem like cookie-cutter copies of rooms you’ve stayed at in the past. White walls, plain linens and conservative furnishing may not match the trip you had planned in Tokyo. Instead, a room with a glass encased bath area might be more fitting to enjoy your Tokyo evenings—especially since the view from the bathroom exceeds the view of most other serviced apartments.

In one of the rooms in the East Tower of Fraser Place howff Shinjuku, guests can fully appreciate the Japanese custom of placing the bath and shower area in a separate room from the toilet. A glass-walled bath area is placed as a centerpiece in one of the rooms, so you can look out at the Shinjuku skyline from your bath. “This is the unique thing about this particular property, because not every Fraser has designer units. And you're very safe here. Turn off the lights have a glass of champagne and soak in there. Enjoy the view,” said Esther Wai, the general manager of Fraser Place Shinjuku.

The wall-to-wall windows at Fraser Place take advantage of the convenient placement of Fraser Place’s East and West Towers, but the location of this building has many advantages. Guests are a 15-minute walk from Shinjuku station, which is close enough to get around Tokyo quickly but far enough away to enjoy the view from your bath without the worry of being seen. Of course, curtains are available to block out the city on nights when bathing is less of an event.

The location of Fraser is not only convenient because of its closeness to Shinjuku, but attached to the building is a 24-hour Tesco. “The 24 hour supermarket is so welcome because you don't have to walk far to get your groceries. In the middle of the night, if you run out of butter or you need a bento, it is so easy to get it there. Eating around here is good fun as well. There’s an excellent Thai restaurant hidden in one of the lanes,” Wai added.

The accommodations at Fraser Place Shinjuku offer guests the chance to experience Tokyo life with contemporary style and quality services. This international hotel and service apartment company from Singapore recently opened Fraser Place howff Shinjuku. Extended visitors to Tokyo can stay in one of the 384 rooms that opened in early 2008 near Shinjuku. Although these rooms are primarily serviced apartments, they are also rented out for a daily rate.

The basic studio rooms at Frasier Place set the standard for the larger, designer rooms. The most basic rooms provide fully furnished accommodations, LCD television, satellite and local television channels, a Bose audio system, and iPod dock alarm clock. These smaller studio apartments provide a comfortable place for visitors to stay while in Tokyo. Since these rooms are serviced apartments, all of the living necessities are provided. These rooms are basic, but their magnificence increases with upgrades.

Deluxe single rooms and multi-bedroom accommodations are available for travelers in Tokyo for an extended length of time or for those with more people in their party. Multi-bedroom accommodations provide guests with more living space, dishwasher and a washing machine with dryer. The apartments at Fraser Place, especially the multi-bedroom rooms, are designed to feel more like a home than a hotel room. The layout of the rooms provides guests with separate living spaces, and multiple bathrooms.

The dazzling executive and premier rooms at Fraser Place howff Shinjuku are brilliantly designed, with wall-to-wall windows that display the Tokyo skyline, and designer features that make living in Tokyo stylish. The executive and premier rooms contain all of the accommodations provided in the other rooms, but the design of each room is different from the others on its floor. Vaulted ceilings, wooden floors, colored lighting that can be adjusted to fit your mood and other accents make these rooms supremely modern and luxurious. In the designer rooms at Fraser Shinjuku you can come home, open the string curtains that lead to your bed and relax
