Hilton Tokyo
160-0023, Shinjuku-ku, 6-2 Nishi-Shinjuku 6-Chome, Japan
Hilton Tokyo Shinjuku is a Category 7 Hilton property located in the heart of Tokyo, just about 1 km from Shinjuku railway station. The Airport Limousine Bus stops right outside the door of the hotel and is a very convenient, hassle free way to get to this hotel from both Narita & Haneda International Airport. The hotel also provides a very frequent shuttle service to Shinjuku station. The hotel is also right next to Nishi Shinjuku subway station on Marunouchi line. On top of everything, the hotel is steps away from a Dennys restaurant (not that you should be eating that food when you are in Japan!! :)).
A free night at this hotel costs 30,000 – 60,000 Hilton HHonors points depending on the season. We stayed here for 3 nights @ 50,000 Hilton HHonors points/night.
We arrived late night around 11 PM and the front desk area was pretty busy. The front desk agent was very helpful and gave some helpful tips regarding our stay. Since we both have elite status in Hilton (Karen is Diamond and I am Gold), we got to enjoy complimentary breakfast throughout our stay.
For our daily complimentary breakfast we went to the Tsunohazu restaurant. There were both western and japanese style breakfast items available. I would rate the selection and quality as pretty high for the breakfast buffet. There was one room dedicated to Japanese breakfast items and remaining tables had western selections including “made to order eggs” by chef.
We also had access to the Executive lounge at the hotel. The lounge hosted both a evening tea hour (with some light snacks) and a cocktail hour later where they served both cold and hot appetizers.
The Executive lounge also had a Business center inside which we used to print our boarding passes for upcoming trip.
