New Otani Inn hotel - Tokyo
 

I've heard mixed reviews... anyone ever stay here?

I have not stayed there, but wanted to alert you if you are not aware, that you can get 25K bonus FF miles on United for staying 5 nights at this hotel before August 31. That is a great bonus, and enough miles in itself for a UA Saver FF award. You have to book through United and you get a special "Mileage Plus anniversary rate", since UA is celebrating their 25th anniversary of their FF program this year. Staying just one night will get you a 5K FF mile bonus through 8/31.

Here is the link:

If for some reason cutting an dpasting the link doesn't work, this offer is on the Mileage Plus portion of the UA website, under hotels.

oops, i see that it is actually 1K per night, not 5K- but once you get to 5 nights you then get the 25K bonus.

I stayed in a tower room on the top floor in April and loved the hotel.

Hi

My wife and I stayed there when we went to Tokyo in May last year. The hotel is big and it is nice but I'm not sure it was worth the money. We did not spend too much time at the hotel as we were out most of the day and only came back to the hotel to sleep, take a shower etc. But the location of the hotel is good...the Akasaka district is located inthe middle of things so it only takes a few minutes on the metro to get to Ginza, Shibuya and Shinjuku. I have posted a trip report with pictures on my homepage http://gardkarlsen.com/japan_tokyo.htm . Maybe you can find some useful information there.
