Hotel Review: InterContinental Tokyo Bay Hotel, Tokyo

Date:

Whilst The InterContinental Tokyo Bay is located away from the main hustle and bustle of Tokyo’s business and entertainment districts. However, it is never too far away from anything, thanks to Tokyo’s efficient train system. It is only a couple of minutes walk away to the station and the hotel commands very scenic views of the area.

The rooms here are massive for Tokyo standards and the bathroom is the highlight because one would find it hard to leave the tub after every soak with such views!

There is also a very cozy lobby lounge to stay warm with a wine in the winter!

In short,

Pros:

  1. Prime Waterfront Location: Perched on Tokyo Bay, the hotel offers stunning views of the Rainbow Bridge and skyline, enhanced by its proximity to Takeshiba Pier.
  2. Elegant, Comfortable Rooms: The spacious rooms feature plush bedding, modern bathrooms with soaking tubs, and a refined ambiance that elevates the stay.
  3. Exceptional Service: Staff deliver warm, attentive care, from seamless check-ins to thoughtful gestures like complimentary upgrades, making guests feel valued.

Cons:

  1. Limited Nearby Amenities: The immediate area lacks vibrant dining or shopping options, requiring a short trip for more variety beyond the hotel.
  2. Pricey Dining: On-site restaurants, while high-quality, come with a steep cost—breakfast at ¥4,000+ feels excessive for what’s offered.
  3. Small Pool Area: The fitness center’s pool is compact and uninspiring, disappointing guests hoping for a more luxurious swim experience.

The InterContinental Tokyo Bay blends sophistication with a serene bayside setting, perfect for travelers seeking comfort and stellar service. Its rooms and views are standout features, appealing to those who value elegance over bustle. However, the quieter location might not suit everyone, and the costly dining and modest pool could irk budget-conscious guests or those expecting robust facilities. It’s a refined choice for a tranquil Tokyo escape, best for those prioritizing luxury over convenience.
