If I'm being honest, between this and the SNA thing, I have to wonder if this hotel is considering leaving Bonvoy altogether. The competitive landscape for elite members is a lot different under the combined program compared to the original SPG Tokyo properties, of which this one was the best by a mile. The hotel is always very full regardless, and Prince does their own loyalty thing.
I was thinking the same thing even before hearing about the lounge denials.
It might be a better fit for Hyatt.
