You've never met BDLORD, have you?

I've put on a few pounds since that photo :D

Well, after 4 pages and no mention, I am going to have to recommend my "go-to" hotel in Tokyo - Cerulean Tower in Shibuya.

There are three reasons why this would work for you:

Transportation from Narita couldn't be easier: You take the "Friendly" limousine bus and the hotel is literally the first stop. Buy the ticket in the airport, walk outside and catch the bus. No stairs, no walking and no station navigation - it's literally "door-to-door". And you also catch it back from the hotel to the airport.

The location is truly "ground zero" Tokyo. Shibuya station is literally right outside the hotel and the famous Shibuya scramble is a two minute walk. And I would prefer the nightlife of Shibuya (younger and hipper) to Ginza or Roppongi.

And finally, it's just a great hotel with great rooms, views and bathrooms. As with the others, there is a bar at the top with fantastic views. It is also a US$300 kind of hotel, as opposed to a US$600 hotel (like the Park Hyatt and, presumably, others.)

With all of the other options available, the only reason I would make the Cerulean Tower hotel my top choice would be if I had a job interview with Google that I absolutely did not want to miss.

Google is in Roppongi Hills now.

Wow, I'm surprised that I never heard about that!

OK, then I guess I might also choose that place if I wanted convenient access to the Shibuya Animate store...

I'll say it again, if the OP wants to go out and see the Tokyo nightlife scene, Roppongi is the place to stay.

We heard you the first time.

Good! Hope the second time reinforces it. I wouldn't have re-posted except for all the bad advice the OP is getting:D

3 times is a charm^

If as you say your are not planning on sleeping and want to stay out all night, go to Roppongi. There is a lot going on until 6am. There really aren't any other choices unless you want to go way downmarket. If you want to eat, club, maybe go to an upscale spa late nite, Roppongi is a good (and the only) choice.

Perhaps the OP would enlighten us as to the reason for the whirlwind trip to Japan?

I mean, if it's just an unavoidable layover on the way from Point A to Point B, and you have no interest in Japan in and of itself, then sure, knock yourself out in Roppongi!

Think it's a stopover on the way to SIN.

I personally prefer the choices at nearby Azabu Juban - Then again Roppongi is just a stroll away should the area seem boring.

As for a hotel in the center of this flavour of "the action", I give you; The Glanz

Never been, but I get the impression it's where people go to close the deal after a ruinously expensive dinner date.

I miss the good old bubble era "ultra-tacky" love hotels...
