Absolutely, Piss Alley is 0.7mile and Golden Gai is 1 mile away. The trek to Shinjuku is only an issue with luggage, kids, disability etc.

It's a 15-20 minute walk, so anyone can do it. And Japan is one of the safest countries to walk the streets at night :-).

depends on your company negotiated rate, really. unless you have 2,3 rates to compare.

This isn't a great one, especially for Asia. But it's still average.
I just spent a night here and the Lounge was disappointing. The Lounge free alcohol is OK, not very interesting selection. But average for Asia? I'll find out later within a couple of weeks how Lounges are at Incheon GH, Beijing GH, and Taipei GH. The evening snack offerings are very poor, the little plate they serve leaves a lot to be desried, definitely worse than the Tokyo Marriott Executive Lounge.

It's probably that free alcohol.... but nowhere in my comment I said that it's average for Asia, it isn't..
Just that it's an average lounge (including the US properties where most lounges are crap).

Lounge is not that baaad, for a HR. Comparing it to GHs is not very fair, i would think. Stayed here a couple of times, and the lounge while leaving much to be desired, is basic in doing what it does. Provide a place to relax, not provide dinner!

I was wondering, are most of you travelling to HRT for business?

I mean, I can't think of any reason why anyone would go for Hotel buffet food when you are in the centre of Tokyo. Even the small raumen/curry shops down the street (like literally 5m walk from the hotel) are way better than most buffet foods IMHO.

Although some have a bigger variety, the quality of the still wines at GH Incheon, GH Taipei, and even GH Hong Kong is not substantially better than that at HR Tokyo. A lot of hotels use obscure labels that are not widely available so as to not make it obvious that they are serving wines that would sell for as little as US$5 wholesale, sometimes even less. About the only exception I've seen is GH Tokyo.

Hi folks,

Currently a Hyatt Platinum member and in Tokyo for 4 nights in early July. Considering the Hyatt Regency but wondering what the chances of an upgrade to a club floor lounge would be? Any points of reference?

cheers!

I have not been to HR Tokyo yet (going in June), but reading the comments above, it seems indeed bad even compared to other HR. I have been to HR Osaka and the food was adequate. Sounds like Tokyo is worse.

Somewhere between zero and negligible - not worth even holding out any hope for.

Money would be much better spent on food/drink outside of the hotel

Please note that when considering paying for a club room at the HRT the actual room quality is much higher, so it is not just the lounge you are paying for.

True - I hadn't thought of this part.

I still cannot forget the horrible standard room that firmly belongs in the last century, particularly the bathroom

A note to those traveling a party of three that they are not willing to put an extra bed in the renovated room. It even takes a good deal of convincing to get them to put one in the Atrium Suite...
