Conrad Tokyo review

[japansuki]

Conrad Tokyo is a stunning 5 star luxury hotel slightly out of the main drag in the business district of Shiodome, Tokyo.


Reception is on the 28th floor and the hotel ends on the 37th floor, giving each room sweeping views of the city.


Being recognized as a Diamond HHonors member, we are upgraded to a 2 room luxury king suite with 2 toilets, separate lounge room, a 'his and hers' basin, full sized bath, and a long double shower. Being in Japan, all the mod cons are present, from automatic toilet seats with bidet and washlets, blinds that open and close at the push of a button, bathrobes, slippers, dressing gowns, and high end toiletries.


The Executive Lounge on the 37th floor offers bite sized morsels by chef Gordon Ramsey, which we enjoy for a pre-dinner snack complemented by a glass of fine sparkling wine.


The 25 meter swimming pool, fully equipped gym, and Japanese-style hot tubs, sauna and steam room provides a warm relief from the freezing Tokyo Winter.


Breakfast in the morning consists essentially of an upmarket continental spread of hot and cold treats from Japanese-style cold soba noodles, bread and butter pudding, ham literally cut off the bone
in front of you, a large selection of delicious pastries, freshly squeezed juices, expresso coffees, and much, much more.


And to top it off, the staff are absolutely fabulous in every way possible.


Highly recommended!

Thanks from me as well. I'll be there over Easter. Can you have breakfast in the restaurant instead of the lounge? What is the best way to get there from Narita?

Breakfast in the restaurant is continental only and I am not sure about the cost of upgrading it as they didn't seem to quite understand me.

I was pretty underwhelmed by the lounge breakfast but it's not bad by any standard.

I feel the breakfast restaurant would probably stink of smoke like the rest of the lobby, but I'm not sure.

Multiple good ways to get there from Narita. Bus/limousine from airport is regularly scheduled and goes to the door. Narita express is simple and cheaper, goes to tokyo and then you can transfer to the Yamanote to Shinbashi then walk to the hote (5-10 with luggage).

I prefer the trains and don't mind walking so we went a similar way. Plus the buses were full as it was the day of the blizzard, and most of the trains were cancelled...
