We are also staying at the Pen in Bangkok so it would be nice to compare the properties.
The Pen would be an excellent choice, however the Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons are two other hotels to consider. All of these hotels are a stone`s throw from each other so I consider their locations to be effectively the same.
Among the above hotels I would pick the Mandarin Oriental for best views of the entire Tokyo skyline, and best F&B (yes, even better than F&B at the Pen).
The Peninsula has the best room design and comfort, along with the best bathrooms in the city (very similar layout to Pen BKK), and it is the choice if you value a swimming pool, as MO and FS have only furos but no swimming pools.
Four Seasons for the very best, most perosnalized service in Tokyo, and for its privacy/exclusivity. The rooms and suites are going to be refurbished in the near future, so it might be better to wait until this is complete before staying.
