As a IHG Diamond Ambassador, I have completed a very satisfying 2-nights stay in this luxury property located in the vicinity of JR Shinagawa Station about two weeks ago. We last stayed in this property more than 10 years back and during this time, we have been enjoying ourselves in other Intercontinental properties during our vacations in Japan. We thought it would be a good time to try out this Shinagawa property again and we had a really wonderful time. The IHG status recognition was top notch during check-in. Staff were professional and friendly. We were given a high-floor premium room that is beautifully furnished and ergonomically designed. The housekeeping standard was excellent and I loved that the hotel had prepared the firm pillows we requested via email prior to our stay. I had access to the executive lounge via the IHG annual lounge pass and we had wanted to try out this new lounge. There was no dedicated executive lounge during our last stay. And what was our verdict of this new lounge? Wow! The lounge design exudes luxury and coupled with the amazing city views from the lounge, we spent our evenings next to the windows chilling out during our stay. The lounge is quiet and provides oasis of peace even during the cocktail hours. The young staff manning the executive lounge were warm and friendly. A highlight was the breakfast buffet in the restaurant. This has to be the top buffet breakfast experience we had the opportunity to try out, even beating the wonderful breakfast buffet experiences we had in the Beppu and Hanoi Intercontinental properties. The quality was really good and we loved the beautifully made pastries being offered by the chefs. French press coffee was available and it was very nice. It was a waste that baked cod fish was only available one day and it was absolutely delicious. Another highlight was the excellent quality of melons on offer at the Fruits section daily. Overall, an amazing stay in this luxury property and we cannot wait to be back in our next vacation.

The Strings by Intercontinental Hotel in Shinagawa offers a fantastic location with excellent connectivity to Haneda Airport and Tokyo Station. Its central positioning makes it a convenient choice for travelers, and the spacious rooms add to the comfort of the stay. However, there were a few areas that could use improvement. The air conditioning was not particularly effective, requiring me to request a fan in the middle of the night. Additionally, during summer, only two small water bottles (500ml each) were provided daily, which was insufficient. I had to request extra bottles every night—something that could easily be addressed with a more generous allocation. On the positive side, the view from room 3135 was stunning, offering a scenic glimpse of Haneda Airport and the mesmerizing sight of planes landing through a large glass window. It was truly a highlight of the stay. One detail that puzzled me was the inconsistency in room rates. Despite booking four consecutive nights, the second night was priced 350 yen higher than the rest, without a satisfactory explanation. While the amount itself was small, it raised questions about pricing policies—whether this is a standard practice in Japanese hotels or a broader global phenomenon. The breakfast experience was exceptional, thanks to the warm and attentive Nepali staff, especially Minato-san, who handled requests with patience and professionalism. The breakfast spread was impressive, offering a variety of healthy choices and a great selection of buffet items, all enjoyed under natural sunlight filtering from the top of the building. A special mention to Tanaka-san at the front desk, who kindly accommodated an early check-in, making the arrival experience seamless and welcoming. Overall, The Strings by Intercontinental Hotel provides a comfortable and well-located stay with breathtaking views and excellent service. With some tweaks in air conditioning, water supply, and pricing transparency, it could truly elevate the guest experience.

First of all, I am pretty laid back and mostly let things slide off my back, but this one I could not ignore. The Strings Tokyo..I really wanted to like you. I had high expectations and was spoiled prior at the Intercontinental Osaka (which btw, I highly recommend). We stayed 11-23, checked out 11-27; check in was uneventful, front desk staff was polite and efficient, our room was ready when we got there at 3pm, so far so good. The lady that greeted us at the door and helped bring our bags...

My wife and I did a two-night stay at The Strings to use my Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night Certificate. We arrived on a Saturday evening at HND Terminal 2 on a domestic ANA flight and took the Keikyu Airport Line to Shinagawa. Navigating the station is a bit challenging the first time and the signage isn't that great, but once you find the correct way, it's easy to do it again.

I booked a King Classic City View: 31.5 sqm room, which is the highest non-Premium room in the hopes...

Every night after I finish my daytime schedule, the first thing I return my room is: call for incidental service to ask them make up one set shortage of our 3 occupancy. I need one more set of hand towel, facial towel, tooth brush..., because housekeeping set up for 2 only. there is one set shortage only but hotel surprised me to bring me 3 set of everything to my room after my call. So I receive one set and return two set back to the delivery man. We repeated this for my entire 4-night...
