Upon our arrival to Japan, we stayed at the Conrad Tokyo, a luxury chain that’s part of the Hilton portfolio, for the first two nights of our trip.
This would be my first time staying at a Conrad property. I had heard great things about the brand’s Japan locations, so I was keen to break my duck here in Tokyo, before following up this stay with a visit to the Conrad Osaka later on the same trip.
Conrad Tokyo – Booking
I booked my two-night stay at Conrad Tokyo for 62,000 Hilton Honors points per night.
However, I’d say that I lucked out on finding this cheaper nightly rate, as points redemptions at this property typically hover in the higher range of 80,000–95,000 points per night. It appears that cheaper rates are occasionally available when booking last-minute, which is what I had done.
On the other hand, the typical cash rate at this property falls between $250–300 (USD). I was somewhat indifferent between redeeming points or paying cash for this stay, given that we value Hilton Honors points at 0.5¢/point (USD).
However, I’ve collected Hilton points for years without having had too many opportunities to redeem them, so I decided to use points on this occasion and save myself some cash.
Keep in mind that if you’re staying for a total of five nights (which is quite a reasonable length of time for Tokyo), you can take advantage of the Hilton Honors Fifth Night Free benefit, which can further elevate the value of your redemption.

You may find this business district a bit quiet at first glance; however, it’s only a 20-minute stroll from here to the bustling Ginza shopping district, which is famous for its numerous boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, nightclubs, and cafés.
The Toyosu Market, the world’s largest wholesale fish market and home to numerous well-known sushi establishments, is another popular tourist destination…
