Completed a 3 night stay. Diamond booked base room upgraded to executive. This was great because the elevators are so slow during rush hour and are packed by the time it reaches the mid floors. Great stay with a nice room and great buffet breakfast.

How is this hotel as a Diamond? Debating between here or Mesm (Marriott) as a Gold, both around 45000JPY/night after taxes and fees with a corporate discount. The rooms here look a bit worse, but Diamond upgrades in shoulder season (November) and breakfast is tempting...

Hi,
Assuming you don't care about the location. the Hilton is a very good hotel ( lobby and marble lounge on the ground floor can give the appearance of an active atmosphere ( rooms are quiet though)
I was there last November and upgrades were limited ( 5 night stay just after Japan reopened after covid)
Breakfast in the Marble lounge and the executive lounge was very good.
Did like the gym and pool
Liked the location
Regards
TBS

Stayed November 2019, August 2022, March 2023, October 2023, and February 2024.
The hotel has changed a lot, in 2019 the jazz bar you could smoke and they served cigars, now they force you to smoke basically off site.
Its a decent hotel but your money goes much further as a diamond member.
My visit during covid 2022 I was a gold tier, the hotel was nearly empty, and i still had to pay to upgrade to an executive class room to get executive lounge access.
March 2023 it was starting to pickup, I was gold and again no upgrades offered. By October 2023 I was Diamond so I got an automatic executive lounge access and for $20 extra a night I got a Jr. suite.
February 2024 I put in for $60 extra per night to get the same Jr. Suite and I did not get it. They also forgot to inform me that I got a 20% discount for food and 10% at the bar during check-in
Honestly I love the location more than anything about this hotel.
Sure I could stay at the Hyatt next door but that hotel is in need of serious updating. The Keio Hotel is also nice but the same problem.
The Park Hyatt is the only other option but that place is too rich for my money. And Marriott/Conrad is all the way across town.

Curious...I've never seen buy-up options online for this property. Did you just ask when you arrived?

I have a King Tower Suite booked next month for me, my wife and 17yo son. Son will take the rollaway. For those that have used them, are the rollaways suitable and comfortable for an adult sized (tall) kid? Also, are they generally placed in the bedroom or living room? I emailed these questions to the hotel but have not received a reply. Thanks!

Have stayed in the tower suites several times. Rollaway is generally put in the living room its standard size hotelr rollaway if that helps. Also their is only one bathroom which requires going throughthe bedroom. The living room area is quite large with a large couch And a second TV.
