According to
this post, he recommends the
The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, Executive house zen, The Okura Tokyo, Palace Hotel Tokyo and Grand Hyatt Tokyo as good value.
I wonder whether the list above is really a fair comparison of the cost, given that the rooms in Hoshinoya are neither suites nor have access to a club lounge?
Moreover, I guess it's still unknown whether Hoshinoya is £1400 or £4000, which is a pretty significant spread. If it's in fact closer to the cost of a Deluxe Balcony at the Palace Hotel for example, then I know which I would choose for my first visit to Tokyo. After all, trying to pack all your itinerary into limited time without the help of a good concierge will already put you at a disadvantage.
