Started reading through most of the conversations about the Aman Tokyo in the Aman thread and I'm starting to have second thoughts about staying there. Most of you guys basically saying it's nothing special for someone's first Aman experience. I started pricing out other hotels and this is what I came up with for 4 nights.
Andaz Prive Rate, lowest king room: $2420 (potential 4th night free deal $1935?) or 100,000 Hyatt points with no benefits.
Prince Gallery Kioicho (after the reviews here): Club Deluxe room $2055
Ritz Carlton Deluxe King with Club Cert Upgrade: $2915
My original Aman rate was $3485.
The last time I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Tokyo was back in 2015 before they did their refresh and I didn't stay in a club room. Has anyone been there recently and is it worth it? I know I love the RC HK Club Lounge. Price Gallery looks comparable with the Ritz but at a much lower entry point. I did a 1 nighter at the Andaz back in 2015 as well and I loved their hard product but didn't get to enjoy the rest of it. Their pricing is very enticing.

We stayed at both the Aman (corner suite) and the RC this summer. At the RC we were in the Presidential Suite. Holy cow was that a blast! Never been in a room that ridiculous before. THREE entrances! Having said that, I think the Aman was the classier, more stylish hotel.

Does anyone here have advice or recent experience about the Tokyo Station Hotel? I think this qualifies as a luxury property, but it is not among the luxury brands I see being discussed here.
For me, the heritage and history of the Tokyo Station Hotel makes it a must-try for a one night layover (arriving 6 pm at HND, departing HND at noon the next day).

If you're after heritage and history, the other option that comes to mind is the Imperial, which is at nearby Yurakucho (one stop on the Yamanote).

In case I've missed it, has anyone combined the Luxury Privileges rate with 4th night free with Citi Prestige 4th night at the Prince Gallery Kioichi?
If so, how were the rates ultimately calculated?
I have a 4 night trip coming up for Tokyo and am considering trying this but wonder what to expect.

One interesting potential service option - I have seen the bellman from the Tokyo Station Hotel at the platform of N'EX assisting with luggage. Might be worthwhile if you will be using Narita to or from the hotel not so much for HND though I suppose.

NHK had an informative piece on the property and the fairly recent renovation. You can check it out here

Does LP still exist, or is it now STARS for all Marriott “luxury” brands?
You would have to compare rates, but I suspect if fourth night free is available in conjunction with LP/STARS amenities, that should be best.
