Restaurant manager shakes my hand and welcomes me to the PHT. Great. Great. and Great food. Room Was upgraded to Tokyo Suite for all 4 nights as a (then) Explorist from the Governor's Suite, staying for the first time. Eternally grateful. I think my only way to express gratitude is to be a repeat guest and yes I'm coming back soon. Yeah, so what kind of suite (let alone hotel) gets its own CD album? Bathroom It's a bath 'facility' - a giant L-shaped room that contains a closet that can fit four people, a celebrity style vanity, a granite sunken tub with panoramic views that fits four, a waterfall (not rainfall) shower, and a steam/sauna as well. Yeah. Oh and the talking bidet (with another vanity inside the WC room) Pool Obligatory shot. And some morning coffee after that (free for Discoverists and above - shaves 3000 yen off the breakfast bill, if eating as well!) Dining Never made it to Girandole. Why would I do so anyway?Brunch on the last day (above) was terrific, I highly, utterly recommend the melon, NY cheesecake and French Toast above. Oh and that gigantic jug of melted and milked Valrhona. Coming back just for them.A table for drinks at the NY bar was arranged within 5 minutes of calling on a weekend evening. Gave us a less noisy, secluded (and less smoked) table that yet oversees the action. Awesome. Concierge Concierge was great and got us a table for dinner at L'Effervescence. One of the most impressive Michelin experiences I've had, ahead of Paris.'World peace', or just (everything is just) like the Apple Pie as the Chef says. Overall Insert cheesy 'time is everlasting' jewelery ad tagline or something.But yeah, it probably is at the PHT.
