The hotel itself is situated on the top floors of the building, thus providing a breathtaking view of Tokyo during both day and night.

Room: spacious, comfortable, and with a great view (can see Mount Fuji and overlooks the Imperial Palace). As a bonus, the room comes with two kimonos, which I have tried on, since I'm a tourist.

Service: ridiculously good. The room is clean and always made to fit for the time of day pillows propped up at the morning cleanup, put away when we return in the evening; slippers placed by the bed; coffee, tea, and water pot refilled; new water bottles; linens placed beneath the bathroom toiletries. When we first arrived, directions to our restaurant reservations were already printed and ready. When we come back from a day of shopping and sightseeing, concierge delivers the bags to the room while we go out to dinner. They are always ready and willing to oblige our every request.

Food: we breakfasted every morning at the Oriental Lounge. The ambience is quiet and peaceful, the view over the city is scenic, and the food is good. The special pancakes are thick and fluffy and light.
