The Imperial's high ranking was based on high scores received in the areas of Reservation, Check-In/Check-Out, Guestroom, Food & Beverages, Hotel Services, Hotel Facilities, and Cost & Fees. Replies were received from 26,729 respondents to the August, 2017, internet survey of 166 hotel brand chains and groups throughout Japan. The respondents, aged 18 and above, were asked about their degree of satisfaction with their experiences and services at hotels they had stayed at during the preceding one-year period.

Tokyo's Imperial was founded by the Japanese aristocracy in 1890 on the same site it occupies today and opened as a venue to receive an increasing number of foreign dignitaries visiting Japan in the Meiji Period (1868-1912). It initiated many new services and facilities which have since become standard services for major Japanese hotels, such as all-inclusive Shinto and Christian wedding services, shopping arcades, and in-house laundry service, and introduced diverse Western cuisine to the Japanese public. For its range of classical Japanese hospitality, The Imperial is the traditional favorite of dignitaries and celebrities from abroad visiting the Japanese capital.
