Just checked in to the Andaz in Tokyo and I have one word: Unreal!
I'll be working on a TR soon, but some Andaz info:
-This is one of the nicest hotels I have ever been to. This is not your standard Andaz. It feels more like a PH than an Andaz. See the pics below
-They are more than happy to accommodate Kosher guests. The food & beverage director (Alistair) has gone out of his way to help me heat up meals and even order food from R Edery.
-The service is top notch despite hearing otherwise from other FT reviews. I came by to drop off my luggage yesterday since I stayed my first night at a Capsule hotel and didn't want to shlep it over there. They were happy to go and split up my food into different bags for fridge, freezer, and non refrigerated for me.
-I came to check in at 9 AM. They upgraded me to a view room even though I'm here on a SUN. They were very apologetic that I had to wait 15 minutes for the room - even though I'm checking in hours before check in time.
Here are some pics I took this morning. More to come in the TR.
