Here now.
Beautiful suite with a view of the fish market. I forget how much I love this hotel.

Staying here tomorrow using a free night cert. I was upgraded from a city view room to a bay view as a diamond. What are the odds of getting a further upgrade to a suite at checkin? Rates were $600+ last I checked so I'm assuming the hotel will be quite busy so I won't hold my breath. They still appear to be selling every type of room and several suites.

Of course, if you can't find availability on your phone at check-in, then you don't have a leg to stand on.

Pass right by the front desk without stopping and take the elevator to the top floor to the Executive Lounge for checkin. When they tell you your room, pull out your smart phone and say "You know, you DO have a suite available for a Diamond Upgrade..."

Rather disappointing news, as I have an upcoming stay with the AMEX 2nd night free offer.

Actually this is my first stay so I don't have any basis to compare but the staff did confirm that they are still offering the same service with the same hours. Seems they also re-use the original furniture from the lounge. Everything is very good but nonetheless I would imagine in terms of ambiance, the temporary lounge can't hold a candle to the original lounge. The original lounge looked really good I'm also disappointed not being able to experience it.

They need to enlarge it. I was there January 5th through the 7th. The lounge (still open) was terribly crowded on the evening of the 5th, so much so, we didn't go back. The diamond breakfast is much better on 28 so it wasn't that big of a deal.

On 28 you can order anything off the menu, made to order omelettes, plus the full buffet. To top it off, I don't have to fight for seat in a cramped lounge.

Agreed. I enjoyed the restaurant -- much bigger selection, server handled omelettes and other fresh egg orders, buffet much bigger variety, and way less crowded. I found the wait for an omelette much longer in the lounge given the 1-2 hotplate operation vs a commercial kitchen. YMMV.

Update.....
I was at the Conrad Tokyo this week. The new executive lounge opens today (Saturday). They flipped it to the other side so it is now on the Bay side of the building. Much nicer view but of course that means a few less Bay side rooms available. I left before I could see it (they had a pre-opening tour Friday evening) but was told by the executive lounge staff that it is about the same size as before and is more "Japanese". So I would assume new layout and furnishings.
