I can stay 8 days at the conrad tokyo is there is any reason at all that I should split 4 days in conrad tokyo and hilton tokyo. I have enough points so that is not the problem.
The only possible reasons I have is leaving to Nrt on my final day and is the hilton tokyo a better base to see tokyo than the Conrad?

The couple of points on the Hilton though that could make it worthwhile, depending on what you like to do. The EL at the Hilton can be a very vibrant scene during Happy Hour. I have had foie gras and champagne on occasion and always met some interesting folks to talk to (the EL at the Conrad is much more subdued). Also the Hilton is within a walking distance to the old "Golden Gai" neighborhood of tiny allies and even tinier bars that can be intriguing to visit.
In either case, enjoy your visit to Tokyo! Can't wait to have a chance to go back myself!

It is quite easy to get around via subway (just buy Pasmo cards) and trains and therefore I would just stay at the Conrad, it is a better hotel and you can pretty much get anywhere with public transportation.

Leaving hilton?
My reservation for the Conrad Tokyo in 3 days states that it will be leaving in August 2012. I doubt this, but does that mean it will be leaving in Aug 2013? Anyone have any more info?

We would like to state that in no way are we leaving the Conrad brand or Hilton. Can you provide a screenshot or copy of where you saw this so we can investigate?
Kind regards,
Conrad Team

Glad to hear this. Staying that is. It would be a shame and huge loss to Hilton esp in Tokyo market.

GM is aware and the property Director of Business Development has responded. ^

Thank you for the replies, yes I just saw the other thread and it clicked that Hilton has an error with it's upcoming reservations email.
I look forward to my stay- 17th to 20th on points plus pay and will report back!

We had a delightful stay here for 5 days over New Year. The hotel location is pretty convenient. Between the Shiodome station and Shimbashi you can access pretty much anywhere quickly. It actually is a pleasant walk from Ginza that isn't much longer than taking the metro so access to that are or the south end of the Imperial Park can be on foot if you don't mind a 20 minute walk. The lounge was very nice and the staff there was great. Got wonderful guidance on a (very expensive) meal in Roppongi from the chief concierge one evening. The area immediately around the hotel is pretty quiet but then we didn't spend much time there.

Thinking about a 4 day AXON stay this spring or early summer. Will be traveling as a family a four (kids are 13 and 9 year old boys, can share bed). Can we stay in one room, and rent a cot, or do we need to get two adjoining rooms? Thinking of burning off some points, but only have 500k.

The twin rooms here are actually two doubles (1.4m or around four and a half feet) so there shouldn't be a problem fitting. Might want to email the hotel to check that they don't have a problem with 4 people occupying.

When booking a room on the Hilton website, the Conrad Tokyo adds tax to the regular room rate, whereas the Hilton Tokyo doesn't. Does anyone know why there is a difference in tax for these two properties?
