And I think you already answered the question about the club. While it is a nice perk, if you are out for most of the day and wont be able to use it, then

I would say pool and gym give the GH an upper hand if those things are of interest.

Thanks, going to try here, always query clubs though. If anything like the Hyatt Regency in Tokyo then no thanks, if its like Ritz Carlton HK, then im willing to make other compromises

Thanks Again

The room was great and spacious, no complaint at all. Everything was new and well designed/built.

The location of this hotel is pretty convenient from subway perspective. The Toranomon Hills station is right under the hotel and we don't even need to go outside. Also there were always taxis waiting outside lobby at least from my experience.

Breakfast was pretty good. It was on 1st floor inside the restaurant Le Pristine (hope this spells right). Not a whole lot space but during my stay I didn't need to wait even once. The food was great, not as vivid as a real 5-star Asian hotel breakfast buffet but enough for us.

The Gym was mediocre, and even a bit disapointing in my opinion. Firstly you have to walk a long way from the elevator. Then the gym just doesn't have a lot of equipment. No cable machine/smith machine. Only dumbbell sets and a bench. And there were only 2 treadmills.

The Lounge actually doesn't have any real food served during our stay. Best thing is some pound cakes in plastic bags. It really is a space for people to sit and talk and look at Tokyo Tower. It also suffers same problem as the gym that you have to walk some distance from elevator.

Overall I think this hotel is great with its room and location. I wish it could bring more to its gym and lounge.
Appreciate

Sadly we didn't have enough time to test the bar/restaurant but it looked very nice.
However, there is also a huge food market with plenty of restaurants and shops just down the escalator in the building.

Really a convenient location for work as well as travel in my mind.
Awesome, thanks! Will speak to my concierge to get two SNA's applied to both rooms

With PH closed, Hotel TH has become our go to in Tokyo. I've stayed here 4 times since opening (we live in Okinawa). I'm actually here right now. What I like about it is that it's not touristy, but I can easily access the tourist locations. It's a business hotel. And Toranomon is still building so every time we return, there's new shops & restaurants. There's quite a few sushi options between T-market, Mori Tower & the Business tower now. You can walk between the building underground or on the overhead walkways without visiting the major construction on the sidewalks. Hopefully, you'll have a great time!

Also, for anyone else. They change their breakfast menu quite frequently. There are some staples, but the pancakes, noodle dish, & rice pudding seem to change regularly. In fact the pancakes on offer yesterday were different from this morning (although they are just average pancakes).

A newb question: I've stayed at this property once and really liked it and am looking to come back for 4 nights.

I'm currently not yet a globalist but I do have access to a guest of honor upgrade and a SUA. What strategy should I be using if a room upgrade is what I'd like most?

I see that on my days there's these suites available:
- Suite King
- Deluxe Corner Suite King
- Panorama Cornere Suite King

Given the above options, should I use my GOH or a SUA or neither? It seems like people have generally very positive experiences with upgrades at this hotel.

I believe only the Suite King and the Corner Suite King are SUA-able suites at this property.

Deluxe Suite King is also SUA-able, but not Deluxe Corner Suite.

If you are hoping for a "free" room upgrade upon check-in, but not necessarily into a suite, then you can roll the dice.

If you are looking for an upgrade into a suite, then why not use the SUA to confirm into that now? If you wait until check-in, nothing is guaranteed until that time.

Thanks all! It's my first time considering GoH/SUA, so your answers have been very helpful!

From what I've heard, that regular deluxe rooms are rather small, I would use a SUA to have a more comfortable stay as even by suite standards, the rooms are on the smaller side

Looking at Oct 25, didnt see points availability.

saw some st the Hyatt Centric Ginza. Anyone stay at both and can compare, especially using a TSU?

i understand the location difference but interested in suite comparisons and soft product.

HC Ginza only has a premium suite for that date, so you wont be able to use TSU, right?

sorry, meant Oct 2025. I am fairly flexible on dates, I dont see any points availability at Toranomon Hills in October 2025.

in fact, tried lists of dates in Oct 25, no availability. Tried longer stays too.

But if I start Sept 30, 2025 then I could stay two nights, a week, or two weeks on points. Something odd about how availability is loaded.
