Let me push mu luck.
Just discovered the Tokyo has a Conrad hotel. I can get a very favorable redemption there and as a Diamond, I would get Club access and a possible upgrade.
My understanding is that it is more in the business area than the tourist one, tho it is not far away. As I wrote, we are currently at the Ritz but truth be told, I would rather use those Marriott points for the Ritz in NYC. Is the Conrad as special as it sounds - somewhat close to the level of the Park Hyatt?
As always, thanks!
