We took a taxi from Haneda Airport and, at 11:15pm on a Saturday night, it was a quick albeit expensive (with tolls, nearly $60) ride to the Andaz Tokyo, which is in a new shopping and office complex called Toranomon Hills. The hotel is accessed through a porte-cochere and then an elevator ride to the…

Love the Andaz Tokyo! On our trip to Tokyo we did both the Andaz and the Park. The Andaz was definitely a favourite and I would recommend it over the Park which feels like it is in desperate need of a reno.
Agree with all comments; last year in September my wife and I snagged a DSU when they were still taking them, and the experience was unforgettable. The staff, room, and food were all top notch and the spa was incredible. We stayed in the Grand Hyatt Tokyo, and the Park Hyatt Sydney on the same trip and both were nice...but this Andaz was the best hotel I have stayed in on any vacation.
Maybe I'm way off here, but doesn't Japan use the same kind of power outlets as the US? I believe I read something like that a while ago.
Totally agree with review. One of my favorite hotel in the chain. My favorite breakfast (and would be willing to pay for it if I was not Diamond.) A top city (infinity) pool.
@Nick
Were the "water experience" hot tubs part of a gender-segregated spa facility, or in the common pool facility?
Nice review. Think it speaks for itself. I've got the option of staying here or Park with my Hyatt 2 night certs. What would you choose?
@djibouti: The "water experience" hot tubs are in the common facility. There's a hot tub in the gender-segregated spa as well but it's not nearly as spacious.
I stayed there with my husband and son this summer. I was able to get a rollaway bed and used the free certificates from the Hyatt credit card. We loved it! Easy walk to the metro and trains, past a ton of cheap places to eat. My son lived on $2.50 bowls of ramen. Efficient and helpful staff who went out of their way to accommodate my requests. Absolute perfection!
With the fabulous subway nearby I don't think the location is much of a problem. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt in March and loved it, but this review makes me want to try the Andaz.
Agree with this review. This was the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, and I am so glad I was there for 4 nights. Glad you also mentioned breakfast at the Good Morning Cafe, as that was also perfect.
I love this hotel -- stayed there three times. You're review brings back great memories of Tokyo! 🙂
One thing, you may have missed in the water experience is the funky carbonated pool. First time I experienced it was at the Andaz. I'm a fan.
The neighborhood really is the only drawback, but fortunately it really is not too far from shinbashi and ginza. Also, there are some gems in the area. Kitty corner across the main intersection outside the hotel is a great soba place for lunch. Also, there's excellent coffee on the 3rd floor of the building, Toranammon Coffee.
The Andaz is also a Virtuoso property. The benefits we received included:
-- Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
-- Daily Buffet breakfast, for up to two in room guests served in Andaz Tavern
-- $100 USD equivalent Food & Beverage or Spa credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
-- Early check-in/late check-out subject to availability
The free breakfast and $100 F&B credit was a nice perk!
Where does the 'Andaz' in Andaz Hotels come from?
Is it from the hindi/urdu word 'Andaz', which means 'style'?
Staying here now. Great review. Had buffet yesterday morning and cost for 2 was 9200 yen. Price must have gone up. Amazing food spread.
Do the Andaz properties have a club our lounge with evening appetizers/light food? I know the 5th avenue location serves some wine but not much else.
Free white/red wine and sake served with appetizers from 6-8 pm for all guests at the lounge.
