Conrad Tokyo vs Andaz Tokyo: Hilton or Hyatt, and Fifteen Floors
Conrad runs on Hilton Honors from Y56,416; Andaz on World of Hyatt from Y109,400. No crossover, and fifteen floors between the two views.
Conrad Tokyo vs Andaz Tokyo splits on two things that decide it before you compare a single room photo: the loyalty programme and the price. Conrad Tokyo is Hilton, occupies floors 28–37 of a Shiodome tower, and starts from ¥56,416 for two at our check. Andaz Tokyo is Hyatt, sits on floors 47–52 of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower with 164 rooms, and starts from ¥109,400 — close to double. Book Conrad if you hold Hilton Honors status or the budget is doing work elsewhere in the trip; book Andaz if you hold World of Hyatt status or the height is the point.
The programme is the tiebreaker here, unlike in Kyoto
Tokyo's luxury tier spreads across competing chains, which makes this comparison cleaner than the equivalent one in Kyoto, where the flagship properties sit inside the same Marriott ecosystem. Conrad Tokyo is a Hilton brand and earns and redeems Hilton Honors. Andaz is Hyatt's lifestyle luxury brand and runs on World of Hyatt.
There is no crossover. Points, status benefits, free-night certificates and elite recognition apply at one and not the other. If you have a meaningful balance or status in either programme, that answers the question and you can stop reading — the rest is preference.
If you hold neither, the price gap does the deciding instead, and it is wide.
Height, and what you are paying for
Both are sky hotels in the Tokyo sense, but they are not at the same altitude. Conrad Tokyo occupies floors 28–37 of the Tokyo Shiodome Building. Andaz Tokyo is on floors 47–52 of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower, with additional space on the 37th and ground floors.
Ten to fifteen storeys is the difference between looking across the city and looking down on it. At Andaz's height, Tokyo Tower reads as an object in the middle distance rather than something above you, and the horizon does most of the work. Whether that is worth roughly ¥53,000 a night is a question only you can answer, and it is the actual question.
The locations differ in character too. Shiodome puts Conrad next to Hamarikyu Gardens and within reach of Ginza on foot. Toranomon is a business district that has been rebuilt around the Hills complex, closer to Roppongi and the embassy quarter than to shopping.
If the height is what you are buying and the brand is not, neither of these is the cheapest way to get it. High-floor rooms in Shibuya sell the same skyline for a fraction of either rate, which is worth knowing before you spend ¥53,000 on the gap between floor 37 and floor 52.
| Name | Area | Price range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conrad Tokyo | Shiodome, floors 28–37 | from ¥56,416 for two | Hilton Honors members; Ginza and the bay side on foot |
| Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills | Toranomon Hills, floors 47–52 | from ¥109,400 for two | World of Hyatt members; the higher view |
Both figures are the lowest advertised rate for two with no dates specified, checked in August 2026. Tokyo rates move less seasonally than Kyoto's but climb hard around major events.
The ¥53,000 test
Of the two, only one asks you to justify a six-figure nightly floor, so make it justify it. Andaz's case rests on the height, the Hyatt programme and a design language that is deliberately less formal than a traditional luxury hotel — the brand is built to feel like a residence rather than a grand hotel, and people either want that or find it underdressed.
Conrad's case is that it does the conventional luxury-hotel job at roughly half the entry price, in a location that walks to Ginza. If you are spending three nights in Tokyo and want the money to go into meals rather than the room, that difference funds a lot of dinner.
A useful way to break the tie if you hold neither status: book Conrad and spend the saving on one exceptional restaurant. The view from the 50th floor lasts an evening; the meal is the thing you will describe afterwards.
How this compares with the same decision in Kyoto
It is worth naming why this comparison behaves differently from the equivalent one in Kyoto, because travellers often carry an assumption between the two cities and it does not hold.
In Kyoto the top of the market is concentrated: HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO and the Ritz-Carlton Kyoto are both Marriott properties, so a points balance cannot separate them and the choice comes down to location and facilities. Tokyo is the opposite. The luxury towers are spread across Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and independents, so the programme you are loyal to genuinely narrows the field before you look at anything else.
The practical consequence: in Tokyo, check your balances first and shortlist second. In Kyoto, that order wastes your time. If you are building an itinerary that covers both cities, expect to choose by different criteria in each.
Two smaller things that matter at this price
- Club lounges. Both brands operate executive-lounge concepts, but access rules differ by property and by elite tier. Confirm what your status converts to at the specific hotel rather than assuming the chain-wide pattern applies.
- Getting out in the morning. Shiodome and Toranomon are both business districts, which means good transit and quiet weekends. Neither is somewhere you wander out into; both are somewhere you leave from.
When neither is right
These are both international-brand city hotels, which is one of several ways to spend this money in Tokyo. If you want a Japanese-run luxury house, or a hotel with an onsen, or something with more of Tokyo's own character, the international towers are the wrong shelf. And if you are in Tokyo for two nights before flying out, an airport-adjacent room may serve you better than either.
| If this is you | Area | Price range | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hilton Honors member | Shiodome | from ¥56,416 | Conrad Tokyo — your points work here |
| World of Hyatt member | Toranomon | from ¥109,400 | Andaz Tokyo — your points work here |
| No status, budget matters | Shiodome | from ¥56,416 | Conrad Tokyo — roughly half the floor |
| The view is the occasion | Toranomon | from ¥109,400 | Andaz Tokyo — floors 47–52 rather than 28–37 |
If you are still deciding which part of Tokyo to sleep in rather than which tower, our Ikebukuro vs Shinjuku comparison covers the everyday version of that question, and Shinjuku hotels for couples covers the occasion end without assuming a six-figure budget.
FAQ: Conrad Tokyo vs Andaz Tokyo
Which is more expensive, Conrad Tokyo or Andaz Tokyo?
Andaz Tokyo, by close to double. At our check in August 2026 the floor was ¥109,400 for two at Andaz against ¥56,416 at Conrad Tokyo. Both are undated lowest rates, so treat them as entry points rather than expected nightly prices.
Can I use Hilton or Hyatt points at both?
No, and this is the cleanest way to decide. Conrad Tokyo is a Hilton brand running on Hilton Honors, while Andaz Tokyo is a Hyatt brand running on World of Hyatt. Points, status benefits and free-night certificates apply at one and not the other.
Which has the better view?
Andaz Tokyo sits higher, on floors 47–52 of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower, against floors 28–37 for Conrad Tokyo in the Tokyo Shiodome Building. That is ten to fifteen storeys of difference, which changes the view from looking across the city to looking down on it.
Which is better located?
It depends on your trip. Conrad Tokyo in Shiodome is next to Hamarikyu Gardens and within walking distance of Ginza, while Andaz Tokyo sits in the Toranomon business district, closer to Roppongi and the embassy quarter than to shopping.
