Hi everyone would love your recommendations.
Our first time in Japan and spending a week in Tokyo. Our interests are history, sight-seeing, culture. I'd like to use points for 2 rooms (2 adults in one and 2 adults and 1 child in another). I am Ambassador-level member.
Would be great to have a property close to a train station so that we can get places easily.; close to restaurants (non-chains) to be able to walk back to hotel after dinner at least some evenings (a neighborhood to stroll around in the evening would be great); and, if possible, would love a hotel with a lounge so that we can chill.
We do like, modern, updated hotels. (The W is more my speed than the Sheraton, for example.) But based on our needs for this family trip, I think my options are a bit more limited.
If I understand this chain correctly, It seems that Westin, Sheraton Miyako, Marriott, and Prince Sakura are my options if I want a lounge? Of those, Sheraton, Marriott, and Prince Sakura are close to train stations? And of those, how would I rank my options based on my other preferences?
Am I missing anything?
THANKS a million!
BCH.
While not in Tokyo, the Sheraton in Yokohama is worth a look at. It's about a 25 min train ride from Shinagawa which is like the southern end of Tokyo and a 40 min train ride to Ginza.
I don't know how many points you have, but 2 rooms at any hotel with a lounge in Tokyo for 7 nights is going to be at least 600k points. You could probably get the Sheraton Yokohama for 410k.
There is a lounge, it's actually attached to Yokohama Station, and there's tons of stuff to do in Yokohama if you don't feel like traveling to Tokyo.
I've stayed at the Ginza Courtyard, Sheraton Miyako, Prince Sakura, and Yokohama Sheraton. Availability is somewhat difficult at the Ginza courtyard, but I would stay at the Sheraton Yokohama over most Tokyo hotels because it's much cheaper.
