Conrad Macao

BT and I really like Conrad hotels after having stayed at the NYC one before. We really like the modern decor, more personalized service, super comfortable beds, free Hilton Gold breakfasts, and the turn down service giveaways. Okay, we're just total suckers for the teddy bears and rubber ducks.

After passing through customs and immigration at NRT we purchased Airport Limousine tickets to the Conrad Tokyo in the Shiodome district. If you aren't familiar with the Airport Limousine it is actually a long distance bus. It takes you directly from the airport terminal curb to the door of whatever hotel you select as your destination. At 3,000 yen per person one way it is the most expensive way to get in to Tokyo from Narita but you don't have to lug your suitcases and it is door-to-door. The staff are really gentle with your suitcases. (No tipping in Japan!)

I had previously become enamored with the Conrad brand at the Conrad New York so I was really looking forward to an extended stay at the Conrad Tokyo.

Conrad New York

Sometimes it is nice to give yourself a little treat. You may have been having a few stressful weeks at work or school. You may feel like spending a little extra money. Sometimes it is just because. Whatever the reason, the Conrad New York is definitely one way to treat yourself.

The Conrad New York is located in lower Manhattan a few blocks away from the new Freedom Tower.
I like that on weekends the neighborhood can be pretty quiet since it is mostly office buildings and sky scrapers in the vicinity. I did find that it was a bit far away from many other tourist attractions in Manhattan though.

The hotel lobby is one floor above street level. If you aren't staying at this hotel this lobby alone is really worth a visit if you like modern art and architecture. If you look up you see the Loop Doopy mural by Sol LeWitt and the amazing hanging sculptures that echo piano strings. The light color periodically changes and can really change the mood of the lobby.
