I run a corporate travel management company and work with C-level execs traveling to Tokyo regularly, so I've seen what actually works versus what sounds good on paper. Here's what I consistently recommend based on client feedback and operational needs: For business travelers doing a week-long stay, I point them toward the **Conrad Tokyo** (Shiodome), **Andaz Tokyo** (Toranomon Hills), or **Palace Hotel Tokyo** (Marunouchi). Conrad has 3pm check-in/11am checkout, puts you near business districts with actual 24-hour concierge response times that matter when you're jet-lagged at 3am. The Palace Hotel offers early check-in if you arrive on morning flights from the US--critical because fighting Tokyo jet lag without immediate room access kills your first day productivity. For a full week, I'd split locations: start near Tokyo Station (Palace Hotel or Shangri-La) for business meetings, then shift to Shibuya/Shinjuku (Park Hyatt or Cerulean Tower Tokyu) mid-week. Tokyo's massive--staying one location for seven days means you're burning 90+ minutes daily on trains. My execs who ignore this advice always regret it by day four. The rookie mistake I see constantly is booking Shinjuku hotels thinking it's central. It's a nightmare during rush hour, and those "convenient" hotels near the station mean dragging luggage through crowds of 500,000+ commuters. Book hotels with direct airport limousine bus service--Conrad and Palace both have this, saves you from navigating Narita Express with bags after a 14-hour flight.
