Reply To: InterContinental hotels in Tokyo – best option?

[YC]

Appreciate some thoughts too for my upcoming trip (infant in tow so aiming for larger-ish rooms):
1. Osaka – Torn between Marriott Miyako and the W hotel. Cash booking with W about 10% more.
2. Kyoto – Booked RC on points given raved reviews (also can now use SNAs at RC!) but not sure if I should switch to Mitsui or PH (if points become available)
3. Tokyo – Booked Hyatt Centric Ginza on points but may switch up Edition Ginza if PH Kyoto becomes available.

Third world / headforpoints kind of problems. Trying to optimise hotels with limited points. Despite the Yen being weak, the luxury hotels cash prices are nuts. Even looking at local brands, points still is the way to go at the moment. So glad I am in this game.
