Just checking if anyone knows of any Tokyo/ Osaka hotels that serves Champagne in their club/ executive lounge?

It is a rare hotel that does this - the only place I have experienced this was in the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong.
 
Another option is to select a hotel that has a really wonderful and atmospheric bar, and Tokyo has that in spades.

These are often in elevated positions and are wonderful for people watching or enjoying the views of the city below

The Palace Hotel or the Conrad are a couple of nice ones



Note the famous New York Bar at the Park Hyatt Tokyo (of Lost in Translation Fame) is closing for a year-long renovation next month.

Note a bad option, will look into it. I know the Ritz Carlton Singapore does a beautiful champagne in thier club lounge but lost when it comes to Japan

The other one that comes to mind is the Imperial Lounge bar at the historic Imperial Hotel. Stayed there on a work trip pre covid, and had drinks with Japanese colleagues here. Lovely spot.

I saw that the ANA intercontinental has champagne so might book that
Well seeing the IC Yokohama Grand is considered the worst IC in Tokyo by most I guess all the Intercontinental clubs in Tokyo would feature champagne. Staying here because it was way cheaper than the others. Sub $A250.
 
Airport JAL lounge.
Does the business class lounge serve champagne?

Avoid the IC at Yokohama - its very old and needs a major refurb.

Email the hotel that you wish to stay in and ask them if the serve Champagne in the club lounge.

Because I don't drink champagne, I have never checked in the lounge or can remember.

The train from Sakuraguchiko station takes 44 minutes to Tokyo station. My old legs take 10 minutes to walk to Sakuraguchiko station.
Yes the rooms in the Yokohama grand are old and it needs a refurb but it is still quite comfortable. It is by far the cheapest IHG hotel in the Tokyo area.
looked at late may and rates- Yokohama grand -19400
Tokyo Bay IC -55593
Pier 8 Yokohama -43650
The Strings -66110
Kimpton -76417
Indigo -70471
ANA Tokyo IC -unavailable.

So when the rates are 25 - 45% of the other IHG hotels in the Tokyo area I consider it excellent value. For me having the complimentary lounge access pass it is a no brainer.
And yes they do have champagne in the IC club and I had a glass of Veuve there 3 nights ago.

I was looking into staying at the Mercure Yokosuga looks great from the picture the harbourview but rooms look a bit old and so far away from everything else (farther than Ofanu). Anyone been there? Too bad it is too far away from everything but it at the end of the Narita Express so don't need to pay extra if you bought the round trip ticket.

Edit: picture looks like a miniature Seattle almost

hard to justify staying at any chain even with status when toyoko and the like is less than 10000 per day (sometimes as low as 8000)
But then where else would you stay in Yokohama other than the IC? (only can get room upgrade as a plat elite member but better than nothing i guess)

Really depends what a traveller is after.

If it's just a place to crash for as cheap as possible, then yes of course there are cheaper accomodation options in Tokyo. They could then buy a bottle of champers at BIC Camera and have it in the room.

But others are seeking the "experiential" factor of a stay in one of Tokyo's landmark hotels, and spending a few relaxing hours in the evenings in one of the amazing bars on offer, soaking in the "scene" and the views of Tokyo by night. That's a travel experience in its own right.

Enjoying "free" champagne in a hotel lounge is another option in between the two above.

A few beers and small plates in a Shibuya Izakaya is also a great experience. This option is unlikely to offer the champange being sought by the OP though!.
