Tokyo | Autograph Collection MESM Hotel, a bit pricey but otherwise flawless
🚗 This is the Tokyo hotel that opened during the 2020 pandemic and belongs to Marriott's Autograph Collection brand. After entering Japan via Nagoya, I took the Shinkansen to Tokyo. It's said that this Mesm Hotel in Minato Ward maintains consistently high occupancy rates. First, I went to the sky lobby to check in, where a Japanese gentleman escorted me directly to my top-floor room and explained the facilities. The entire minibar, including beer and champagne, is complimentary, and they thoughtfully provided welcome desserts.
🚗 Overall, it's an excellent hotel! The location is also superb, close to the subway station, making it convenient to reach anywhere in Tokyo. The lobby is on the 16th floor, but the welcoming staff on the ground floor are very professional and hospitable, guiding guests to the elevator. The front desk is also very friendly, with quick check-in and check-out processes. The hotel lobby has an artistic vibe, and the rooms are spacious, even featuring an electronic piano. The window offers a beautiful view of Tokyo Bay, with different scenery during the day and night. Next to the hotel is a lovely Royal Garden. The breakfast is also good, with different noodle dishes daily, such as Vietnamese Pho and Japanese ramen. Adjacent to the hotel is a boat pier, with several daily cruises around Tokyo Bay. There are also many entertainment venues with various performances. Nearby, there's a mall with a wide variety of restaurants.
