“Very (very) nice, contemporary hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

This was my 3rd stay at the Conrad Tokyo and thought it was worth providing a few notes this time around. First/foremost, this is a beautifully designed hotel, w/ a jaw dropping lobby on the 28th floor of a building. The Asian contemporary design is terrific, and the rooms are quite roomy for Japan.

Service is definitely 5-stars, from the front desk, to the restaurant staff, housekeeping, gym, etc.

If you are not doing business in the Minato or finance district, it is probably worth staying somewhere else as this is not ideally located to some of the more noteworthy parts of Tokyo. However, it is perfectly located if you are in town for business in this neighborhood, and you will not find a better business hotel.

Besides the whopping prices ($500/night, $65 breakfast, $20/day/internet) by even Tokyo standards, my biggest gripe that forced me to only give it 4-stars is the gym/pool. Exercise is always important for me and while the gym (which is quite small) was free, they charge $35 just to use their lap pool. I know some hotels do this, but I'm always appalled when a hotel charges for a basic service that should be incorporated into the price you are paying for the hotel. It left a bad taste in my mouth that they would nickel and dime you for something like this when I am spending $500/night on a room, plus countless other amounts of money on food.

Lastly, the Executive Lounge is on the city view side, which is surprising given the beautiful bay views on the other side of the hotel. I'm surprised why they chose to have the Executive Lounge on the far inferior side of the building. Most people staying on the Executive Floor are Diamond or Gold Hilton Honors members, and most lounges at other international Hilton chain hotels offer the best part of the hotel.

So overall, it is a very nice business hotel w/ terrific staff service, but really hope they consider the perception it may have when trying to squeeze every last penny out of their guests.

Room Tip: Choose the bay views rather than city views

“Fantastic location and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

My family (two seniors and two young adults, in two rooms) stayed 4 nights in February. As the hotel, like everything in Tokyo, is very expensive, it was particularly advantageous to be able to "pay" with Hilton Hhonors points.
The rooms are spacious and well designed, with huge comfortable bathrooms. On the city view side, much of the view is blocked by neighboring buildings, but there are still impressive vistas to each side.
The service was uniformly friendly and helpful. In particular, one concierge (Mr. Abe) tailored dining recommendations to our needs, and found us several great restaurants, including a place where we had the best sushi of our well-traveled lives. We would never have found it without his help, as it was on the sixth floor of a building on a side street of the Ginza, with only a small street sign in Japanese. The only bad advice we received was to go to a local Singaporean restaurant -- it wasn't very good, but we should have known better!
The bus to the airport left directly from the hotel, and like everything in Japan, ran on time even at rush hour.

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We arrived early one morning and departed the following afternoon with the hope of recovering from a 14 hour flight before heading off on another 6 hour flight to our final destination. This place really fit the bill. We caught the Friendly Limo Bus from Narita that took us directly to the Conrad. No changing at train or subway stations - a welcome relief when one is jet lagged. After a short wait we were escorted to a stylish, spacious room with a wonderful bathroom. We had Diamond access to the Executive Lounge which we used frequently. The views from the Lounge were great and the food and drink offerings were enjoyable and innovative. We'd seen the sights of Tokyo on previous trips so we spent the afternoon at the Hama-rikyu Garden. We loved it. I was a cold, sunny day and the free "communicator" device told us the whole history of the area. It was a perfect way to keep us interested and awake. Drinks and food in the Lounge were enough for us in the evening before finally hitting the super comfortable bed.
My only wish would be that there would be more English offered on the TV. Not much so bring your Kindle or book.
Been to a lot of elegant hotels and this is one of the top ones in our opinion.

“Huge Room, Excellent Services”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel several times found this hotel perfect for both business and pleasure. The room size are among one of the biggest standard room in Tokyo and the location is located in the shiodome area, which is good if you want to visit Tsukiji market (about 15-20 mins by foot) or visiting Odaiba, Ginza area. The room itself is gorgeous. The interior are tastefully designed and functional. Although the hotel opened for years, the rooms and lobby areas are still very well maintained.

The pool and the spa area is definitely not to be missed. The staff speaks very good English. The garden view rooms are worth the premium. Even if you are not getting the garden view room, the lobby offering stunning views of Tokyo Bay anytime of the day.

I was somewhat disappointed they changed toiletries from Custom made Shiseido brand into Acca Kappa Made in China stuff. Besides that, Everything is still as good as before.

Wow, what a great feedback – thank you! We are absolutely happy to hear that you had a fantastic stay with us again here at the Conrad Tokyo.

Great to hear that you liked our spacious guest room with the magnificent view over the Tokyo Bay. It is also wonderful to know that you appreciated our location, which is only a few steps away from the Ginza shopping area and it is very close to the world famous Tsukiji Fish Market.

As far as our toiletries are concerned, Shiseido does not produce toiletries for our hotel any longer and we now have Acca Kappa brand, which is an Italian brand.

Thank you also for your great comments on our Spa and Fitness/Swimming Pool facilities and services, which will be shared with our Spa & Fitness Team.

Look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

“Amazing experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I did extensive reviews of 5-star hotels in the Minato/Roppongi area in Tokyo before I ultimately decided on Conrad Tokyo. On our way there I noticed it's close proximity to the subway and Shiodome train station which makes the location of the hotel excellent. The hotel is amazing, with more services than I could possibly name in this review. Upon entering I had a bellhop help me with my luggage to the 28th floor to check in. A different bellhop was then assigned to escort me to my room but my only gripe is that I had a hard time understanding his English and his explanation of the services the hotel offers. I assume English is not his first language and he looked of middle eastern descent, nevertheless it was no bid deal.

The room was very spacious and luxurious. I had an amazing view of Tokyo Bay and it was wonderful. Room service or any questions I had was always one call away. The staff was incredibly polite and courteous throughout my 3 day stay at the hotel. For breakfast we went to a restaurant serving Hawaiian dishes at the Shidome city center. This hotel is everything one could ask for in regards to luxury and modern entertainment. I'll definitely be staying at this hotel again and I highly recommend it.
