Have booked a King Premium room ( orginally at Y35k but reduced to Y24k pn all in )
The King Premium definitely looks nicer than what we had and had the hotel not been full when we arrived, I probably would have had a good chance of being upgraded to it.

Yes, I'd say that the executive lounge food selection was a tad better than Conrad Tokyo's and more attractively presented. But I think the Conrad lounge may be nicer overall, especially with its lofty bay view.

I think the price of 24k yen that you got for Golden Week is pretty reasonable considering the inflated hotel pricing in Tokyo. It may be difficult to get upgraded though, since the hotel may be sold out.

As you've probably heard, masks are not required to be worn in Japan now, yet I'd say a good 80-90% of people still wear them outdoors and indoors. Of course, people take them off when they are eating or drinking, but they put them back on when they finish. Still, you don't have to wear one and I wouldn't worry about not wearing one during your stay if you don't want to.
