I travel to Tokyo a lot on business and as an elite SPG traveller wanted to try the Westin purely to earn points. It is a very classy hotel located in the Yebisu Garden district.

The hotel is done up in that Japanese styled European elegance that must have been popular during the bubble. Service is impeccable and the hotel has recently added a Westin workout facility that's top notch. Rooms are nice, typical of what you'd expect for a Westin, and decent size. Bathrooms are marble/granite in construction and nice seperate stall shower and tub. And of course the room features an exciting high tech Japanese toilet.

The hotel features an executive lounge with cocktails in the evening and breakfast in the morning for frequent guests. Cocktails are generous with full bar and nice selection of appetizers. The breakfast is also generous and filled with amusing options such as green salad (for breakfast?). The Westin staff has learned a bit about western tastes since I was last at the property and are now serving crispy bacon alongside the limp traditional offering.

The Yebisu Garden complex provides a lot of dining options (so you're not limited to the $150 "sushi sampler" on the room service menu) as well as shopping and international ATM at a post office branch. I ate at a traditional tonkatsu location (Japanese fried pork that tastes a bit like weiner schnitzel) and at a yakiniku (Japanese style Korean BBQ) restaurant, but the options were varied and offered options in a variety of price ranges.

So...what's not to like? Unfortunately the one major drawback to the Westin is its location. The Ebisu subway station is a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel through the Yebisu Garden complex, and Ebisu is not necessarily close to traditional Tokyo business districts. Check into this consideration when booking your stay as at the end of a long business day or sightseeing venture this could be a drawback.

Since years I stay at the Westin Hotel when in Tokyo. Okay, it's expensive and the rooms not furnished according to my taste - but in general it's a very oppulent hotel with good service. Don't miss the breakfast.

My husband and I stayed at the Westin Tokyo for four nights in early June. This was our first time to Japan and we were not disappointed with the accomodations.

From the minute we walked into the hotel, we were greeted enthusiastically. We were assisted with every request we had whether it be needing directions to a certain location in town or getting a restaurant recommendation. The concierege was pleasant and helpful.

I was a little worried about the location in Tokyo but with how efficient the subways are we found it was just a few minute ride to any location we wanted to see. It was 2 stops to Roppongi Hills and about 5 stops to the fish market (about as far as you need to go in Tokyo).

The hotel was classy, elegant and the room had fabulous features. The shower was wonderful, the bathroom was very modern and our bedroom had an area with a couch and chair. There were two options for breakfast-a buffet on the 1st floor which was excellent and a continental breakfast if you were an SPG preferred guest. Both were very nice for us.

It will be a while until I get back to Japan as it's a far trip and there are a lot of places my husband and I want to see, but when I do go back, I will head directly to this hotel

I think this is one of the very best locations to be in. It is near the ebisu line and a mall that has many eateries. Thus although the hotel it self serves expensive food u are not limited to it although late into the night. The mall even has a macs and a supermarket. The rooms are great with the infamous westin bed!! gosh u can really enjoy a good sleep after all the shopping is done. there were simply no complains at all being there. everything was taken care off and the toilet was hahah like heaven. Toiletries are provided for. U can brew your own coffee as well!! Great Stay and Yes I will return again.
