ANA InterContinental Tokyo, an IHG Hotel

Solid hotel, stayed here last time in 2018 and the hotel is still great. The "old" rooms are now slightly dated, but perfectly OK, clean and comfortable, and we had a note in the room that an "intensive renovation program of rooms" is under way. The beds are comfortable and the rooms have a very good size, especially for Japanese/Tokyo standards. The rooms (I guess all?) have a Nespresso coffee machine. The location is really convenient, there is usually no shortage of taxis (exception: New Years eve and New Years day as well as probably other holidays, but that is to be expected) and the Ginza Line metro Station Tameike-Sanno (No. G-06) is right outside the hotel. The Ginza line is one of the most important Metro lines (and probably the only one you really need as tourist) as it goes to Shibuya or Ginza as well as to Shimbashi and all the way to Asakusa, with many interchange options in between. Around the hotel you have various convenience stores (2 family marts, 1 Natural Lawson, 1 "normal" Lawson a bit further and 1 24h small supermarket) in walking distance (2-5 mins) as well as a dutour coffee place right next to the hotel. The staff, especially front desk and concierge, speaks very good English. As we had some issues (not related to the hotel) we needed the concierge frequently and the personnel there was always very helpful, professional and went out of their way to assist us. We also had some interactions with the bell captain for taxis etc. and they were also helpful and especially the younger personnel spoke good English. The hotel restaurants during our stay were fully geared towards New Year with special menus but we did not try them. In the room we found he information that on 31.12. evening you can order the noodle dish "toshi koshi soba", which are believed to bring good luck for the new year, for a reasonable price to your room. The noodles were good and came with a tasty broth and some nice tempura.

The conference that I need to attend was at this hotel, so it made sense to stay here, as it only takes a couple of minutes to go to my room during breaks. It is next to Tameike Sanno station, and it's a few stops to Tokyo Station, Ginza, Fish market. And there are always a few taxis downstairs waiting. You can book the airport bus to pick you up from the hotel to go to the airport, as long as your travel times are within the hotel bus operating hours. Staff extremely helpful. This is one of the more expensive hotels, but for work related travels (tax deductible), not a issue. For privately self funded trips, I probably will choose a cheaper hotel though.

Excellent location with easy access to the trains. Breakfast buffet was very good. Staff were very helpful in organising extra transfers etc.

The staff makes the difference. Great team - highly cooperative, speed of delivery is too good. The location is good and close to all relevant business districts. I will certainly stay here during my next trip to Tokyo. Thanks ANA Intercontinental Team !

Good Room amenities Very good service from staff including luggage porter, front desk, room service, & concierge Staff honored my special requests beyond my expectations Good location: near the station, convenient store & pharmacy are within close distance
