Being my first trip to Tokyo, I was very impressed with the Conrad hotel. When I checked in, as a Hilton Diamond member, I was upgraded to the executive floor with a great view of the city. The amenities are nothing short of superb and the service at the hotel is second to none.

I highly recommend this hotel for bussiness travelers as access to many of Tokyo bussiness are close by. With regards to leisure travelers, me, they have great contacts with local tour companies and with the subway station being so close to the hotel, getting around the city is easy.

What a wonderful four night stay we had! Very modern decor with everything in the room, including a window separating the bathroom from main room, controlled by an electronic panel. The rubber ducky in the tub was a nice treat. Furnishings were modern and top notch. Service was helpful and not stuffy. Location is very convenient to trains and subways and a short walk from Ginza. I was especially surprised by the size of the room (it was pretty large), given that this is Tokyo.

My stay was too short; I would move in and live there permanently. The Conrad is a beautiful and spectacular modern hotel with all the right touches. I'm a Hilton Honors Diamond member so my perspective is already positively biased. The suite I stayed in would be loved by any condo-loving Manhattanite. It was huge. The bed was heavenly. The bathroom is a mini-complex unto itself. There are two large flatscreen TVs. The view southwards towards Tokyo Bay was pretty at night. The gym on the fitness floor was spacious enough. The continental breakfast presented an inspiring selection and filled me up for the day's journey.

As someone who lives in Japan - I often stay at the Conrad to get away from things for a weekend. The Conrad is the pinnacle of "Western" style hotels in Tokyo - clean, stylish with excellent service and reasonable prices (again, for Tokyo).

The rooms are all excellent - clean, large and great bathrooms. I generally avoid the "Executive floor" simply because the rooms cost more but it doesn't actually offer anything additional except access to the Executive lounge (which is a good place for a small breakfast but is otherwise not very meaningful). Its worth paying a little extra for a room with a view of the Rainbow Bridge -- trust me, at night, the view is worth the money.

For tourists - the location is not that great - Shimbashi is far from the major tourist centers like Shinjuku or Shibuya. However, the hotel is adjacent to the train station and not at all difficult to get to.

The overall quality of this hotel is very comparable to the Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo - however, this hotel is priced much more reasonably.

As you would expect from any flagship hotel in Japan - all the staff here speak English.
