I’ll be visiting Tokyo for 9 days in September. I plan to use points for 5 nights and have already booked the Okura for the remaining 4 nights, paying cash.

Currently, I have a reservation at the Prince Gallery for the 5 nights using points. It meets my criteria for proximity to a metro station. However, I’ve read that it may not treat elite members well; specifically, it seems to not provide elite members with lounge access the lounge available is small and not highly rated. Is that accurate, or did I misunderstand?

Having lounge access would be nice for a comfortable place to relax outside of my room. Could you let me know which of the following hotels consistently provide lounge access for Platinum members staying on points. And if none do, which do you think provides the best overall quality when based on location, and the hard product:

Prince Gallery
