Yes. Though access to the Mori tower from the other floors can be restricted and only accessible if you are an office resident and have a badge to enter through the gates.

Yes, Florentina is in the lobby and as you exit the passenger elevator lobby directly facing you. They have a “boutique” to get grab-n-go pastries to your left, next to the business center.

Yes what you just described is exactly what I wanted. I will follow that next week, thanks so much. Still not sure I picture the big picture on all this but I am sure once I am back it will make more sense this time.

Obviously its on your left when walking from the main/huge intersection but you cant ever actually see the GH. Any short cut/trick on just finding the GH when on foot coming from Roppongi Crossing?
If you are coming along Roppongi-Dori, there are two sets of escalators/stairs that will take you up to the area outside Mori Tower and from there you can enter the mall and then take the corridor to the escalators. A little but of up and down, but for me that is the most straightforward way. The two landmarks I look for is the “Top Hat” building or the chimney structure with the circles on the side.

Imagine how things were for visitors before iPhones, Maps, Translate app, etc.
