As someone who lives in Tokyo and has had the pleasure of several staycations at the Conrad Tokyo over the past few years, I wanted to take a moment to share my experience staying in and working from this hotel.

In my most recent trip at the end of April 2025, I got to experience the Conrad Tokyo Executive Suite for the first time. In this Conrad Tokyo review, I’ll be comparing the suite with the other rooms, as well as sharing all the reasons I love taking a few days to work, relax, and eat on a staycation at the Conrad.

Summing Up: My Conrad Tokyo Review

Take a look at the Conrad Tokyo’s awards page, and you’ll notice it has repeatedly been placed in prestigious lists of luxury hotels in Japan…but rarely at the very top. This is relatively in line with my own review of the Conrad Tokyo: it is a lovely four-star hotel that meets expectations and occasionally surpasses them, but rarely falls short.

With the executive lounge, beautiful bar, and indulgent rooms, there are a multitude of places from which to work, and I always leave the hotel feeling more refreshed than I did on check-in. That being said, I wouldn’t go so far as to say this hotel meets the ‘next level excellence’ you might find elsewhere at the Aman or the Peninsula.

If you are offered a suite upgrade for free or at a reasonable price, then I do think it is worth taking, particularly for longer stays. Having the additional space does make a big difference (especially when working from the room), plus the view from the higher floors is spectacular both day and night.

All things considered, this is my favourite staycation destination in Tokyo, and a particularly great option for remote workers looking for somewhere equally functional and beautiful to work from.

I did a terrible job of taking photos during any of my stays at the Conrad Tokyo, so to see all the details and more, I recommend checking out Plane Better’s review!

Conrad Tokyo Rooms

Executive Suite

There’s no denying that the Conrad Tokyo Executive Suite is impressive. On my last trip, I stayed in a Twin Executive Suite on the 37th floor (the same as the executive lounge) with a city view. The suite is absolutely huge (for Japan standards) at 72 sq. m./775 sq. ft with a bedroom, very large bathroom, walk-in closet, living room, and entryway.

There were a few things I particularly loved about the Executive Suite. Firstly is the high ceilings and general feeling of spaciousness. I’ve become very used to tiny Japanese hotel rooms, so this light-filled, airy space truly was a breath of fresh air.

This feeling continues into the bathroom, where you’ll find some of the best mirror lighting I’ve ever experienced. It is superb for doing your makeup and getting ready (or unready), with his-and-hers basins, a toto toilet, and a fabulous bathtub.

The living room area is comfortable and sleek, with a small table in the corner that can easily be turned into a makeshift desk. As with all rooms, a beautiful chocolate box was waiting for us on the table as a welcome gift.

I’ll also note that the walk-in wardrobe is a lovely addition, although it’s more of a walk-through wardrobe than a walk-in as the space connects the entry way and bathroom. Here you’ll find an ironing board, iron/steamer, drawers, and bars to hang up your clothes.

King Room

At 48 sq. m./516 sq. ft, the Conrad Tokyo King Room is still very reasonably large – for perspective, the average apartment for two people here is 38-50 sq. m. In this space, you get the same amazing bathroom lighting as in the suite, gorgeous views, and a table/desk ideal for remote work.

Interestingly, the King Rooms have sofas that run the length of the windows, although in my opinion, they’re more for visual effect than actual practical purpose. You’ll also have a wardrobe with more than enough space for clothes, shoes, and belongings.

With the King Room, the bathtub can be seen through a window into the bathroom. You can, of course, draw the blinds to hide the tub should you wish, but it is a visually stunning design element that makes the space feel larger than it really is.

Bay vs City View

Having been lucky enough to stay in city and bay view rooms, I can honestly tell you that both are stunning. During the day, seeing the bay below is quite something; however, at night, the city view really sparkles.

One thing I will mention is that the bay view also overlooks Hamarikyu Gardens, which is simply beautiful. You can also take in the city view while sipping a drink at the Twenty Eight Bar & Lounge if you’re missing this view from your room.

Conrad Tokyo Amenities

Conrad Tokyo Executive Lounge

One of Conrad Tokyo’s biggest draws is its Executive Lounge. It is located on the 37th floor and spread across two rooms. The lounge offers complimentary food and drinks to guests at the following times:

• Breakfast: 7am – 10:30am
• Afternoon Tea: 3pm – 5pm
• Evening Cocktails: 6pm – 8pm

You’ll have free access by staying in one of the executive rooms or through having a diamond status membership. Speaking frankly, the Conrad Tokyo Executive Lounge is a good perk, but it really isn’t anything too special. Of course, there are lovely views – and who doesn’t enjoy free food – but I don’t think it’s quite as impressive as it is made out to be.

The food is incredibly average, with a few salads, bread, and a selection of hot dishes. The ‘bar’ is also just a selection of alcohol, ice, and mixers left out for self-service.

I will note that the Conrad Tokyo Executive Lounge is a very pleasant place to work for a few hours, especially if you need a break from your room. It’s not quite big enough to comfortably take meetings, but it is a great option for getting some quiet computer work completed in a very relaxed setting.

Swimming Pool and Spa

For some reason, the Conrad Tokyo pool is strangely overlooked in most reviews. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is wonderful. You’ll find it on the 29th floor, with huge windows to fill the space with light and show off the view. Around the pool are also several very comfortable lounge chairs for relaxing, reading, or even napping, and I love that the space is open until 10pm.

The pool is also connected to the Suigetsu Spa. Like most Japanese onsen, the spa is separated by men and women, with non-clothed bathing areas, saunas, and steam rooms. Using the spa facilities is free for hotel guests, and at the spa desk, you can book to enjoy a treatment like massages or facials in this area.

Fitness Centre

Overlooking the pool is the Conrad Tokyo fitness centre. The gym is quite typical for a hotel, with both machines and free weights. It’s not huge, but large enough not to feel too busy during my stays, and once again, the beautiful view always helps!

If interested, you can book to workout with a personal trainer from ¥8,500/30 minutes, as well as join a yoga class at ¥3,800/hour.

Dining at the Conrad Tokyo

Breakfast at Cerise

This is possibly my favourite thing about the Conrad Tokyo. Although we had the option to dine in the Executive Lounge, I highly recommend opting to eat breakfast at Cerise and requesting a table by the window.

Not only is the space delightfully designed with stunning bay views, but the selection of delicious breakfast foods is truly second to none. From Japanese options like soba, grilled fish, and fresh tofu, to Western-style foods and an ever-changing hot bar, this breakfast is an utter joy.

You’ll also be able to choose a special dish from the freshly made-to-order main menu, such as lobster omelette or mont blanc pancakes. These dishes are on the smaller side to leave more room to try the buffet options, with each bite a delightful tasting experience.

I also have to mention the amazing coffee served at the Conrad Tokyo. If you know this blog, you’ll know I’ve built a name for myself reviewing the best cafes in Tokyo for remote workers, which is why I feel qualified to tell you that this coffee is utterly superb.

Twenty Eight Bar & Lounge

You’ll find Twenty Eight Bar and Lounge directly across from the reception on (unsurprisingly) the 28th floor. I have to say, I really like the Conrad Tokyo’s bar. It’s atmospheric, has great service, and the drinks are delicious. As I mentioned, the views are quite lovely, and the space is altogether very romantic, particularly when paired with a live musician.

Its speciality cocktails are conceptually interesting, with each including a unique Japanese twist. Personally, however, I would opt for a classic cocktail over these offerings as the speciality drinks are yet to blow me away. Twenty Eight also serves light bites and dishes in case you’re feeling peckish.

I’ve also seen people working and writing from Twenty Eight late into the evening. It has an extremely laid-back and welcoming atmosphere, so I see how it would make the perfect late-night work setting.

Restaurants

Conrad Tokyo has a surprising number of restaurants within this one hotel, although I have only spent time at Cerise and Twenty Eight. Besides these, there is a Chinese cuisine restaurant named China Blue, French cuisine at Collage, and traditional Japanese eating at Fuuka. You can also enjoy an afternoon tea at Conrad Tokyo.

Room Service

This is the one area that I think falls short at Conrad Tokyo. There is a decently sized room service menu, but in my opinion, it is slightly overpriced with food that is good, but not great. Let’s just say, I don’t think there’s any justification for an Asahi Super Dry beer to cost ¥2,000.

That being said, the room service food is by no means bad, and I do appreciate the late-night snacks menu that is available from 10pm to 6am.

Conrad Tokyo Location

The Conrad Tokyo is found in Shiodome, slightly south of central Tokyo. I’ve read many reviews complaining about this location, but as someone who has lived in Tokyo for years, I actually think this is a pretty great place to be.

You’re right next to the Oedo Line at Shiodome Station, which can take you directly to hubs like Shinjuku and Roppongi. Alternatively, walk 10 minutes to Shimbashi Station and hop on the Yamanote Line to essentially any part of the city. Ginza is also only a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive away.

In terms of other nearby attractions, you can spend an afternoon at Hamarikyu Garden, karaoke in Shimbashi, and explore the famous Tsukiji Market all within a 15-minute walk of the hotel.

Planning Your Workation in Japan

Take it from me, Japan is an amazing place to take your next remote work trip. Whether you’re interested in the Tokyo Digital Nomad visa or simply spending a few weeks working from coworking spaces in the city, this blog is here to help!
