(unless you are some kind of street racer after midnight).
Getting to the Westin (in Ebisu) will take about as long as getting to the PHT (Shinjuku). Maybe slightly longer to reach the Westin - depending on traffic.
I was hesitant about the info I posted as I remembered someone saying it took less time than I imagined.

Anyway, I found the post (railroadtycoon & I quizzed the poster about this)

I always beat my colleagues who take the bus by hours (i.e. it takes me 90 minutes total and them 3 hours+) and they always look really ragged when they arrive (like they have been dragged all over Tokyo!).
