Reply To: InterContinental hotels in Tokyo – best option?

[meta]

@Reney There are not many options with IHG other than those already mentioned in the thread. I’d seriously consider one of Japanese chains or GHA hotels. There is a nice Bellustar (Pan Pacific property) in Shinjuku. Of course depends on your budget. You may want to also check PH Tokyo as they have points availability just before they close for renovation. It’s across the road from Kimpton Shinjuku. But really seriously consider Japanese chain in Tokyo.

@YC Osaka. I wouldn’t stay at either, but W is better located. Kyoto – if not on a weekend then PH Kyoto every time. Also you should ask for cash upgrade on points bookings (and do it far in advance for peak periods). Tokyo – how long are you staying? Ginza can be a bit boring after two days.
