Advice for hotels convienient to Big Sight
I have my favorite hotel(s) in Tokyo proper, but I am exhibiting in a exhibition at Big Sight.
Since the days will be lonooog, I want to be somewhat handy to/from, so something on the Yurikamome line are prefered. Price is not a problem. Executive level rooms if available will be used.
My thoughts are the following:
Inter-Contental Tokyo Bay
Hotel Nikko Tokyo
Meridien Grand Pacific
Any comments welcomed.
Thanks

Inter Continental is bits inconvenient. You need to take a taxi to Shiodome station. Nikko Tokyo and Grand Pacific Meridien are nearby Daiba station.
The closest hotel to Big Site is Tokyo Bay Ariake Washigton hotel. You can walk to Big Site. But this hotel is what is called ' a business hotel '. The room is tiny.

I will introduce you another two hotels which are nearby Shiodome station.
Royal Park Shiodome Tower
http://www.rps-tower.co.jp/index.html
This hotel will offer you two special things which are cyber concierge and mandara spa.
Conrad Tokyo
http://www.conradtokyo.co.jp/
This hotel will open on 1st of July.

The Rinkai line makes the west side of Tokyo closer to Big Sight than it used to be. This is the train that starts at Shin-Kiba and runs down the middle of O'Daiba -- it continues on the express tracks on the west side of Tokyo now. The train runs about once every 15 minutes and goes from Shinjuku to Big Sight in about 25 minutes.

, it's still a bit of hike from the Shinjuku hotels to the right platform in the notoriously complex Shinjuku station and then onward to Odaiba, so I would still be tempted to recommend Nikko or Meridian instead.
