Anyone here can help with views? Westin or Prince Sakura Tower?
Hi,
The views from the Sakura tower will generally be of the immediate area ( as it is a relatively low rise hotel for tokyo -12 floors) around Shinagawa. Some rooms will have partial views of the japanese garden area from above( very nice ) in the area between the various Prince hotels ( and very nice to walk through) and a view towards the JR Shinagawa station. Some rooms will have a practically straight on view of Tokyo Tower ( Middle size as it is a few kilometres away) but it does look beautiful at night ( on Saturday between 8 and 10pm the lower part of the tower changes from the traditional orange/white to a diamond veil. You will also see some of the other Prince hotels close by but none of the rooms windows were close to other buildings. When I was on the side opposite Tokyo tower i did not mind the view.
Cannot comment on the Westin as I do not know that area but you will probably not get a view like the Bay view at the Conrad Tokyo.
