A family of four, two adults and two teenagers, we rented a Two Bedroom Executive room for seven nights. This choice proved to be very practical, convenient and comfortable: the Ascott offers everything you need for a longer stay and provides a high value for the money, especially for larger families that would otherwise have to book separate hotel rooms. The place feels like a modern, high-end hotel, but it does not carry the associated overhead of spas, meeting rooms, lounges, multiple restaurants, concierge services, etc. (If you are looking for a real high-end hotel experience, the likes of the Tokyo Palace Hotel nearby are unbeatable).|LOCATION: as it is located in the middle of Tokyo’s largest financial district, visiting the metropolitan area’s landmarks besides the nearby Imperial Palace Gardens requires either a long walk or, better, riding the reliable and efficient (an understatement) mass transit network. No problem: the Ascott provides direct underground access to the labyrinthic Otemachi subway station connecting five major subway lines and is only five blocks away from Tokyo Station, where virtually all commuter lines and every Shinkansen route converge. The basement of every office building also offers a wide variety of quality lunch and dinner options, too.|ROOM: modern, spacious, very well designed and maintained, with plenty of storage space. The bedroom and bathrooms footprints wisely exceed that of the living/dining room. More importantly, the rooms feature a full-size European washer and dryer, as well as a complete kitchen well stocked with utensils but not condiments; all appliance are premium brands. The lack of large grocery stores nearby won’t likely entice guests to try their hands at cooking, but will certainly make it easier to at least order in meals; basic necessities like detergent can be purchased in any of the ubiquitous convenience stores. Rooms on the east and west side face the Imperial Gardens and Ginza, respectively; those on the north and south side only face office buildings across the street.|AMENITIES: the Ascott offers a satisfying complimentary breakfast buffet, serving a rotating combination of Japanese, Singaporean, Chinese and American breakfast items. The food quality was in line with the high Japanese food standards; only some Western items could have been served a little warmer. The breakfast area doubles as a lunch and dinner restaurant, Triple One, which we did not try. The hotel also has a fitness center and a small swimming pool; we walked enough every day that we did not feel the need to try these out, but they will certainly be appreciated by...
