As of February 2019 this hotel no longer offers club lounge access to Marriott Platinum and higher guests, even if upgraded to a room category which would otherwise offer lounge access, so lounge access mentioned in older reviews would no longer apply.
The hotel also no longer participates in Suite Night Awards.
Breakfast offering for Platinum and higher is in restaurant, buffet plus made to order eggs.

I'll be staying at the hotel in September and will definitely be posting a 360° VR trip report to my website which is my username with a .com at the end.
Went for club level and hoping to experience a pretty impressive display.

I too made a reservation here, for October. But I had to pay 21500 points for a deluxe room per night. The agent I chatted with could not see any rooms at 20000 points per night, and he tried several dates. Not sure if those superior rooms even exist? The chat agent said the deluxe rooms were the standard ones, but could not explain the higher cost.

Room type
I was in Tokyo last week and tried to use points - two different SPG Platinum agents said no standard rooms available until January. I tried finding one for a variety of dates and was unsuccessful. On the Prince hotels site, it shows all room varieties and shows "deluxe" as the lowest category.
Sadly after I asked both SPG agents said I could not spend more points for a deluxe room, so based on other posts, I may have been steered wrong. Always a bit of teething pain with a new property, looks nice though.

Prince Gallery vs Park Hyatt/ Andaz
If anyone has stayed here, would really appreciate your thoughts regarding the rooms, F&B and platinum recognition.
I'm visiting Tokyo soon and I usually split my stay into two hotels, usually 3 nights at Sheraton Miyako and 3 nights at Park Hyatt or Andaz. Since this hotel is priced in the same ball park as the PH and Andaz, I'm wondering if they are comparable in terms of service, amenities, etc. If they are, I might as well stick to SPG for the whole time.

Are there any reviews on this hotel? I'm longing for a good SPG option in Tokyo… right now I'm staying at the Sheraton which is a pretty mediocre hotel. My go-to would be the Andaz, but my loyalties lie with SPG. I would love to have an Andaz-caliber hotel within SPG's program.

No. Just means that I confirmed in particular about breakfast. Some Japanese SPG properties, as e.g. Westin Nagoya Castle or Sheraton Miyako Osaka, don't serve breakfast in their "lounges".

IIRC Westin Tokyo gives a choice of breakfast in the lounge or the big buffet downstairs in the (very crowded IME) restaurant.
