Tokyo EDITION Ginza [Master Thread]
 

No thread for this, so starting one. Supposed to open 2022.

Im currently hoping to stay at the MESM in late June but wondering if I should stay here (assuming Japan opens up, sigh) - though probably > 60K points per night.
I love the Westin Tokyo for large rooms and breakfast, but I've stayed there like the last 4 times I was in Tokyo!

Thanks for the thread. The original Tokyo EDITION prices about $900/night for next year at base. Given that this location is more desirable (imo), I’m guessing this hotel will price even higher? Is this a fair assumption? Either way, looking forward to this.

Has there been any news on the opening of this hotel? It just says opening 2022…

No rumours yet.

Any update? Latest press release now says Summer 2023. Have a July trip planned for Tokyo, would love to stay there...

The marriott website is now live.

Shows opening in October!

The Marriott website shows October

But they have not started taken reservations yet, so I would say October is doubtful.

The Edition website is a bit more cautious.

Marriott website says opening soon in Oct 2023. It seems that they take reservations from Dec 19, 2023 on Edition website. Point seems to be 95K for a night.

I have a trip late this month so I hope I can go this month!

I walked past Thursday, I don't think they will be ready for October. You can look in through the windows and see a bit of the lobby. Still quite a bit to do before it is ready for guests....

Ah shoot okay thanks!

The first dates now show as open for booking, only the flexible rate loaded so far. But from 15th of December and forward it is possible to book, for the bargain process starting at 177K yen.

It's a Category 8 hotel. Points redemption is in line with Ritz, EDITION Toranomon, and Prince Gallery.

Just completed a 2 night award stay here.

The hotel is in many ways quite small and intimate, but it works quite well with the small size. Arriving to check in, you are seated in the small lobby area and get a welcome drink from the bar. The ambience is quite distinct the Edition style. But a bit darker tones than the Edition Toranomon.

Check in was pretty quick, we got a one category upgrade (which had also been shown in the app in advance) and was proactively offered 4pm check out.

The room had a good size, and a quite typical Edition feel. Some may say rather austere, certainly there were no more furniture than absolutely needed. The rooms do face a narrow street, so you are close to the building across.

The first evening we tried The Punch Room after dinner. 3 punches (cocktails) came in around 7,000 yen, so not too bad for Tokyo. There was a small welcome punch as well. Not a big space, but definitely recommended.

First morning we went to test the breakfast at Sophie (only in house restaurant) it consists of a small by high quality buffet, coffees/teas and juice and a main course from the menu. They did come around with a daily special as well, a cheesecake one day, a focaccia with burrata and sundried tomato. It is priced at 6,300 yen. Which may be a little steep. But not mentioned at check in or otherwise we got an elite member discount and ended 7,000 yen for two, which is great value. The food was really good. So we decided to have breakfast on the second day as well.

For dinner the second evening wee tried Sophie. Which was excellent. The wine prices by the glass was on the high side. So we went for cocktails with dinner.

Staff was great all around, addressing guests by name basically every time. Leaving from breakfast, the greeting was "See you again tonight", as they had noticed there was a booking for the evening.

The gym is very small, it is basically just one room above the entrance used as gym space. You can get a decent workout, but don't expect a huge selection of equipment. No pool here.

It is a really good new luxury option in Tokyo. If you are going for a weekend staycation living in Tokyo, you might prefer Toranom Edition due to more facilities in house, but as a visitor the location in Ginza is really great.

A recommended place to stay

Hesitate to spread the word but the punch room is fantastic. They know what they are doing. Total antithesis to the terrible gold bar at the other edition which is all about instagram models and poorly conceived cocktails like the mock IPA beer atrocity.
