We stayed at the exact same hotel in Feb, 2 nights for 60K points.

🍵 Great video review! Love the use of wood and terrific views of TT. The breakfast looked amazing! Thanks Mandy!

🍵 Definitely my favorite Hyatt Property in Tokyo (albeit never stayed at the Park Hyatt and can't wait to see what it looks like after the 2024 renovation)

Woahhh very nice wow!! I loved that room + views, but that rooftop bar INSANE! 🍵 Oh didn’t know about the complimentary non-alcoholic drinks + time traveling robot cat/tiger 😂😂😂 I loved this Mandy, as I’m going to really try to explore the full luxury side of Hyatt this year, I can’t wait to see some properties like this!

Excellent video.❤ Thanks for sharing.🍵

That's a really lovely standard room. Beautiful. Good lighting is essential. I've been to some hotels that could have been so much more comfortable if they sorted the lighting out, not just for atmosphere but for reading in the evening. I loved the 'switchboard' of lighting switches you showed here-- and that huge TV and work desk. Here in England so many hotels are either plonking bathtubs in the main bedroom (?!), somehow thinking this is chic or luxurious (tip: it isn't, it's horribly impractical) or else doing away with bathtubs entirely and installing plush showers instead. I won't make this a long rant, but I cannot possibly be the only seasoned traveller who LOVES having a long soak after a long day walking around sightseeing? All day in the presence of my travelling companion, it's wonderful to be able to shut myself into a private tranquil room and read a novel with a sheet mask on. ESPECIALLY in the cold winter months. That requirement seems to be increasingly rare or else these hotels in the UK wouldn't insist on removal of bathtubs. Sooooo weird and stingy, no?

My preference is always: (1) nice tubs > (2) nice showers > (3) bad tubs. I agree that a soak after a long day is amazing. I feel like some hotels (i.e., Waldorf Astoria Versailles) has the vanilla short/tiny tubs that almost seem pointless (can't really soak well and is more just a shower with a taller wall).

@@MandyRoams Haha, a "shower with a taller wall" 😹😹👍💯 I'll do you one better: in those insulting, miserly little ersatz bathtubs (like an impressionist painting SUGGESTING a bathtub), I feel like a strawberry sitting in a single compartment of an ice cube tray. I'm picturing myself sitting cross-legged in a giant melting ice cube. 😆 Thanks for being a kindred spirit and understanding The Bath being a non negotiable feature when travelling in winter.🛀🖖

🍵I use my points almost exclusively for flights and havent yet bothered with getting a hotel card, let alone transferring to Hyatt. 30k seems to be a pretty good redemption for the room (and amenities) if you happen to have status. That said, I'm not sure I'd bother staying in Ginza since, to your point, its kinda far from everything else, especially if its your first time. I typically stay around Kashiwa - Its a nice commercial area with lots of restaurants, malls, and a sizable Don Qui. Its also a more affordable area (Ginza is pretty boogee) and there are a few nice places to stay at around there. Thanks to you and to Sebby for the video. Looking forward to the next one!

such a great video! we actually didn't love the andaz, but only bc it was hard to live up to PH kyoto and conrad osaka. plus we weren't glob so didn't have breakfast. but your video makes me realize i forgot to check out many of the on-site amenities. also didn't love the area like you mentioned so next time we're staying at HC ginza before going to niseko =) ...although im contemplating trying conrad tokyo too lol forever indecisive -_-

Loved the Conrad Tokyo! HC Ginza is on our list for next time.

If JAL 9 didn't catch the dreaded 24-hour engine repair delay, I might have been able to meet you guys. I'll be staying at Andaz hopefully when I land a day later than expected. Nice to get some real-time video of what the room and property look like. Looks nice.

Love the art theme of hotel, thanks Mandy

🍵 Yes, like these kind of vids. How did u earn Hyatt globalist: stays, spending, or promotion? A video on that would be nice. Thx

Great video. Just booked the Ohmi restaurant for later this month when I'm in Japan! Staying at the Hyatt Centric there

Fantastic video. I am actually staying there with my kids in summer - we snagged a couple of guest of honor awards and applied them after seeing the breakfast spread. And, it looks like we will have to find the train station :(

Thanks for the great video. Going in November! Wish we had status as the breakfast looks amazing!

Awesome video and tour of the Andaz! Stayed at the Conrad Tokyo and Hyatt Centric before and definitely was convenient in terms of location. Did you and Sebby get to explore the new Hotel Toranomon Hills that was briefly mentioned in the video? It’s also under the Hyatt umbrella and seems to be in the Station Tower? Would it cut down the walk time to the station?

Took a peek inside some of the restaurants in the hotel that looked nice. Didn't explore the lobby or rooms. On the list of potential hotels to try next time! Yes, the hotel is a few escalators away from the station.

Yes! Grand Hyatt Tokyo is in Roppongi, which is more convenient to everything, and the metro is right around the corner.

🍵 Hi Mandy! Great video! This is Allen from NY 😊. This is very informative because my girlfriend and I plan to go back to Japan in May. We stayed at the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku (before I got Globalist status) last year, and it was amazing (35K points per night). As of now, Park Hyatt is listed as "unavailable" in May, so debating the Andaz as a fall back. My Globalist status expires in 2025, so wanna take advantage of the benefits while I can. Thank you for this review!

The Park Hyatt is going to be closed for renovations soon, so Andaz is a good alternative option.

@MandyRoams Ah, no wonder why! Thanks for letting me know! Last time you guys came to NY in December, we went to Taipei. Hopefully next time you guys come back to NY, we can meet up again.

Between Andaz and Conrad Tokyo, which one do you like more and why? Assuming having both Globalist and Diamond statuses.

@MandyRoams

Conrad. More convenient and feels like a more premium product.

hi Mandy, does the $50 breakfast per person is for the Japanese set or the international breakfast buffet?

@MandyRoams

3 ай бұрын

Both are included since it's a buffet.

hi Mandy, if I book via points and I request an extra bed, can I pay additional points or does Hyatt require cash payment? If I pay via cash for the extra bed, do I pay for resort fees or any surcharge? thanks

@MandyRoams

It's cash payment for the extra person, subject to the hotel taxes + fees.

There is no resort fees in Japan.
