Agree that Conrad Tokyo's buffet is excellent, but the Palace Hotel Tokyo's is definitely better and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other 'ultra-lux' properties in Tokyo also have superior breakfast buffets. Asking in the luxury hotels forum thread on Tokyo hotels may yield more opinions: Tokyo luxury hotels (newer consolidated thread)

I skimmed through all the food pics on tripadvisor for Ritz, but the only waffle picture I found showed just a regular looking waffle with syrup and what appears to be cream/butter with vanilla beans.

Really? I've stayed at many hotels (although admittedly not Ritz-Carlton) in Jpn and HKG, and I might actually have Conrad Tokyo's breakfast buffet as my #1 all-time. I think it's better than I've had at Conrad HKG, Island Shangri-la, JW Marriott, Intercontinental, etc, etc, certainly better than any I've had in Tokyo. Not many buffets give you a choice of cooked-to-order entree, in addition to the buffet. Conrad Tokyo's breakfast dim sum items are definitely better than the dim sum you get at breakfast buffet in any of the aforementioned HKG hotels.
If there's a hotel breakfast buffet in Tokyo that's better than Conrad's, I'd like to know.

Yeah I've found the the underground route to be much faster and easier. Easy 5 minute walk to Shimbashi.
That and I like to hit the family mart on the way to Shimbashi.

Considering a future award booking at this property.Last time I stayed I was gold. I heard property is pretty stingy with upgrades and I am currently diamond. This still the case? The room didn't blow me away last time but I know I had lounge access (think the food selection was pretty weak at the time) and I remember the hotel, staff (staff was very very good) and surrounding area well.

Yea I accidentally edited the question out, which is whether or not diamond recognition is still pretty low. In any event it looks like they don't have standard rooms available at any time during my stay in Japan and they want an absurd number of points for a redemption, so it seems I will need to look elsewhere. Gotta love it when you have points/award nights but can't find properties that will allow you to redeem them.
