Thanks, I'd forgotten that the Oedo line is much further than entrance to the Hibiya line.

Looks like there may be some outdated info in this thread, so thought I'd get a refresher.
What's the best way to get to GHT from NRT, using N'Ex and not taking a cab or a bus? I presume I can take N'Ex and then hop on a train/subway, right?
Thanks

You could transfer from the Narita Express at Tokyo Station onto the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi line, then at either Ginza or Kasumigaseki transfer onto the Hibiya line. Thence to Roppongi, after which you would walk through Roppongi Hills to the Grand Hyatt. But life's too short, no?

Negotiating Shinjuku station, taking long escalators, and then walking from the Oedo line station with bags is not what I would want to do, especially if arriving off of a long international flight.
Furthermore, although the poster said no busses, I think the Limousine bus that goes directly to the hotel is the best option. This is what I would do if not pressed for time, provided that the bus schedule did not necessitate a long wait at the airport.

I don't think I've ever transferred from from the Narita Express to the Toei Oedo line at Shinjuku.
Looking at this map of Shinjuku station, not sure I'd ever want to: http://www.jorudan.co.jp/eki/eki_新宿_kounaizu.html
For those who don't read any Japanese, the N'EX platforms are in the bottom, left-middle of the page labelled 成田エクスプレス. The Oedo subway line is on the middle, far-left of the page labelled 大江戸線.
Perhaps there's a quicker route going out of the station and coming back in?

Maybe the best way excluding taxis would be to take the Keisei Skyliner to Ueno and change to the Hibiya line to Roppongi. It is less of a walk than Shinjuku, but I would not classify it as an easy change either.

However, going to Shibuya and then taking a sort, inexpensive taxi ride is the best way to go. There is also a bus that goes to Roppongi Hills from Shibuya, but it seem that for whatever reason you prefer not to use taxis or busses.
