The hype
Guests are obsessed with the views and the club lounge food, but consistently disappointed by the small, basic gym and dated standard rooms.
Intercontinental Tokyo Bay
$180-350/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want jaw-dropping Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge views without the Shinjuku price tag.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic bay or river views
- The 'Chef's Live Kitchen' breakfast buffet is legendary
- Direct access to the Yurikamome line for Odaiba excursions
Kurzfassung: A view-heavy, amenity-light hotel where the 'Classic' rooms feel stuck in 1995 but the 'Premium' rooms feel like a steal.
Bewertet von @BryanG5705151: I spent nights in $30 hostels just to afford this splurge, and wow. The moment I opened those blinds to see Rainbow Bridge, I knew I made the right choice. The staff were so sweet, and the room felt huge for Tokyo. 10/10 would do this strategy again.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
If you don't book a renovated 'Premium' room, you will likely feel like you overpaid for a room that hasn't changed since the hotel opened.
- You are a 'view junkie' who wants to stare at the Rainbow Bridge all night
- You plan to spend a lot of time in Odaiba or are catching a cruise
- You appreciate a high-end Club Lounge experience (Nagomi Lounge is excellent)
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung

- Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service; Japanese standards of tidiness are maintained.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless in renovated rooms; older rooms sometimes show grout discoloration or stubborn water stains.
- Maintenance: Common areas are pristine. 'Classic' rooms show wear on furniture edges and carpet seams.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality. No complaints here.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive. Non-smoking rooms are fresh, but some older floors have a faint 'vintage hotel' mustiness.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is there a swimming pool?
No. Despite what some third-party booking sites might imply, there is no pool on the property.
How do I get to the nearest subway?
Takeshiba Station (Yurikamome Line) is directly connected. For JR lines, take the free hotel shuttle or walk 10 mins to Hamamatsucho Station.
Is the Club Lounge worth it?
Yes. It's widely considered one of the better value lounges in Tokyo with substantial food offerings and incredible views.
Are the rooms renovated?
Only specific categories. 'Premium' and 'Executive' floors are renovated. 'Classic' rooms are generally not.
Does the hotel have an airport shuttle?
Yes, the Airport Limousine Bus stops here (approx. 3,600 JPY to Narita), but check the schedule as it's less frequent than at major hubs.
Is it good for families?
It's decent, but the lack of a pool and the business-district location make it less 'fun' for kids than hotels in Odaiba or near Disney.
