Oakwood Premier Tokyo Midtown
As we stay in Tokyo for 3 weeks, we decided to stay in apartment in stead of hotel. Like this, we can have more privacy and same time enjoy cozy home party using kitchen. It was great idea of my husband!
First of all, it offers you completely exclusive atmosphere. Unlike hotel, where the lobby is public, only guests can access to every facility.
But it is decorated just like 5 star hotel.
Big comfortable king size bed.
Living room is equipped with confortable couch, dining table and prazma TV.
System kitchen is something worth when you stay long. Here I can get everything I need, oven, microwave, fish grill, toaster and rice cooker. Not to mention enough dishes and glasses for party.
These are all welcome amenities!
Unfortunately a room with bathtub are all booked and only a room with shower were available. However, it is refreshing rain shower with extra comfortable body shower. Mowever, it offers steam suana which has exactly same effect like taking bath. When you drop some aroma of lavender, it turns out as luxurious aroma sauna!!
TV is available in bathroom, bedroom and living room. Washing mashine is also in bathroom. Detergene are also provided as much as you like.
Continental buffet breakfast is also included.
Varieties of juices, fruits, creals and pastries are available.
Just like in 5 star hotel, a waitress come over to you and ask for a drink. Hot chocolate is good but tea is cheap one.
But I’m satisfied that I can eat whole grape fruits every morning!
Breakfast corner is functioned as lounge for whole day. Here you can bring your friend and enjoy complementary refreshments.
Another value is fitness room!
You can find almost all kind of machine you need.
and it almost empty. You don’t have to fight for mashine. It is absolutely relaxing to enjoy some exercise every morning. 
After sports, you can take shower direcly in locker room where again, everything is equipped. Rain shower, towel, cosmetic, scale and so. I’ve been here 5 times but up to now, I see no one. It is completely private!!
Last night, we held home party at our room inviting 9 guests. The room was big enough for total 11 people and kitchen was very comfprtable to use. Housekeeping service is availale 3 times so on the next day, all the mess in kitchen were completely cleaned up!!
The elevator has access direct to Midtown on 4th, 2nd and B1 floor so you can easily hop in to cafe, restaurant or supermarket. From B1, hundred different types of Deli are available and also the entrance of Metro is right there. This is only possible in Tokyo!!!! I really say, for long-term travelers in Tokyo, there is nothing more convenient accommodation than here!

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo
Locating in the center of traditional Japanese business street. Despite the busy street outside, up on the building is another world. The hotel was designed with the image of tree. Long ride of elevator is just like going to the top of tree where the birds can rest and relax.
Spa as you floating in the air…
What’s the most impressive experience I had here was a BATH. Round shaped, huge bath tub is comfortably equipped bath pillow and ofcourse small TV. (no problem even the remote control get wet!
Yoga mat are already in the room without asking for it (perfect for yoga fan!) and three type of cables are available for the computer! (perfect for PC freak!) Coach is big enough for two people to enjoy romantic night view of Tokyo. The restaurant I tried is Ventaglio for weekend lunch buffet. Organic salads are prepared fine and gentle, filled up my stomach before the main dish. Followed by sweet and naughty dessert, buffet, simply not able to say no!
