I think I'll have to rule that out as this review leaves much to be desired. And this one says

I did book the Palace Hotel but after hearing the news the construction work is disturbing people I thought it best to move hotels as I don't want my holiday ruined by not being able to sleep.

I'm very concerned about this news. I am staying there at the end of May in a Club Deluxe room with balcony. Will I not be able to use the balcony comfortably with all the noise?
A few points that I noticed. No escort up to the room on check-in which is more 4 star then 5. No separate lounge for suite guests. Seeing this review, I wouldn't bother going for a balcony as it's very nosy!

The construction didn't particularly disturb us at the Palace and it did not go on overnight. Although I hesitate to recommend you not change your plans, we would certainly not hesitate to go back. Asking for a high floor would be a good strategy.

That's good to hear. Where abouts is the construction, in the south of the hotel in the park or to the east?

on the extreme left, the line where the lounge is located. Perhaps if you called the hotel and talked this over with them, they would assign you a suitable location. I found
them to be extremely accommodating in all respects. And I guess, if it becomes intolerable, you can leave.

Will be in Japan in 2 weeks. As a member of the Janu pre-opening board, I'm excited to see it in person. I've booked 4 nights in the Tower View Suite (with balcony) - the highest before Janu Suite.
I will also tour the Janu suite, which was unavailable for booking until May as it's undergoing some final touches, so I am told.
We will also stay @ Aman Tokyo, Kyoto, & Park Hyatt Kyoto in the Ninenzaka House. Stay tuned...
P.S. unrelated... but also flying the new JAL business suites onboard the A350-100

Two things to note for people considering the MO post-COVID:
1) the bar under the lobby is now non-smoking, which is very nice.
2) the spa is only open all day for people getting treatments or staying in suites, otherwise you have to go between 6:30am-9am, which is really disappointing.

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I stayed in a room at MO Tokyo and got all day access to the spa facilities by booking via a Four Seasons Preferred Partner.
Also - some one here mentioned the service is so-so. My experience was that the service was fantastic and I was left wanting for nothing. Loved this hotel.

Their spa service has amazing high level city views.
Lastly, their afternoon tea service is our favorite in the world so far......when we had a Narita layover, we made sure we came back for the afternoon tea again.

I'll second MO Tokyo's excellent service. May not be as proactive, but if you do ask, you will receive excellent service (ie. the ground floor staff took their time to walk us down to the subway station, taught us how to use the kiosk, and got one day subway tickets for us; as first time visitors who never used Tokyo's subway, it was much welcomed).

Hotels of the highest calibre usually don’t have club lounges. Lounges are more of a Hilton/IC thing. And even if it gets crowded at check in in hotels like MO Tokyo, I’m sure they’ll seat you somewhere and come to you once they’re ready. Check-ins in Japan are quite efficient too btw. You won’t have to queue like I did at the Sheraton HK (A dump too)! Also check-in/out times in Japan are quite rigid compared to elsewhere.
I don’t know why you’re obsessed with feeling superior and getting better service. Service at those establishments are usually exemplery and you’ll be treated the same as anyone else, unless you stay in a Presidential suite lol. On the last note, if you’re worried about the breakfast being a zoo, therefore, comtemplating the use of lounges, don’t. This is usually the case but not in Japan. But if you’re can’t be arsed to come down then order room service is fine as well.
