P.S. I stayed in an earlier incarnation of this hotel many, many years ago and it wasn't a luxury hotel back then either.
Actually, no. I've stayed there a few times, since it is right next door to my office in Tokyo. It used to be part of the LHW group as recently as six months ago. Molton Brown toiletries, separate shower and tub, etc. Not the GHT, but somewhere in between the Century and the Imperial, closer to the Imperial. Sub-$200 USD is about right for this hotel. Full rack rate is about $220.
