The Conrad Tokyo, Tokyo 5*

This picture is taken from the Hamarikyu Garden. Look at the contrast, the tea-house and the big, big, big buildings around. Very typical Japanese!

When we arrived we were escorted up to the 28th. Floor, where the reception was. It looks like lots of the Japanese hotels are on top of office-buildings. This hotel is located at floor 28-37!

I had booked this hotel through the hotels web-site as they had an offer, stay two nights, pay for one. I would not have choosen this hotel if it hadn’t been for the great offer, as I think it is too much to pay about 400 GbP for one night!

We had an executive room, with access to the executive lounge.

We arrived at 10.30 and the room was not ready. We were asked to take a seat in the lobby-bar. We asked if it was possible to go to the lounge, but she said it was full!?! Strange… It was also strange that we weren’t escorted up there to check in, as that was included. Well, I refused to pay 10 Gbp. For a drink in the lobby-bar when I knew it was free upstairs…

We went for a walk and came back after 1 hour and the room was ready. And what a room! It was some of the best rooms I have ever had!

Inside the little red box at the picture above... :-D

And the toiletries? Shiseido…. 70 ml. Bottles, replased twice a day… The soap, shampoo and conditioner were…. Lovely…. The bodylotion was kind of strange, like water! Maybe because it is very humid in Tokyo, at least in the summertime, and a more “milky” lotion would have felt very greasy in the heat? The “Conrad bathing-duck” were placed at the bath-tub.





We also got two “Conrad-bears” at turn-down the first afternoon. (I have heard that people are collecting these bears!) Sweet!



The breakfast in the executive lounge were very good with salmon, ham, serrano-ham, sausages, beacon etc.. etc… The were a cook making eggs too! We also got cupons to get breakfast downstairs. The breakfast there were continental, but nice. Although I prefered the breakfast upstairs.

The hotel does not have free wireless internet and you have to pay about 15 Gbp. To use the pool! This is insane if you have paied 400 GbP for a night! You are allowed to use the spa-facilites like steam-room and sauna for free (not treatments), but not the pool.

This hotel is a definite 5*, BUT I never got the very good feeling as I got at the Corintia in Budapest. I was expecting that, as it had gotten very good reviews, it was expencive and because it is in Japan, but I was a little bit disappointed.

This small tree was in the lobby at our room. And yes, it is "real" (not plastic)!
