The Westin is south of Shibuya/north of Meguro and that's where we're going to stay *after* the DO (we're likely at the Grand Hyatt over the weekend). I've never stayed at the Westin before but it looks like a quiet location short walk to lots of interesting things. My impression though was that many people are staying in West Shinjuku area (Park Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hilton) and that's not very far from the Westin.
