ANA InterContinental Tokyo

ANA InterContinental TOKYO by IHG

Connecting Akasaka and Roppongi itineraries; first sort out the 28㎡ vs 32㎡ room types, bathroom layouts and breakfast entitlements.

How Would I Choose?

If you want a place to rest properly between Akasaka and Roppongi, I would put ANA InterContinental Tokyo on the comparison list. There are plenty of dining options in the hotel, and ARK Hills and Suntory Hall are right next door, making it suitable for people who go out during the day and want to come back to full hotel service in the evening.

I look at the room name first, then the price. Classic and Premium differ in size, and bathtub, shower and Club Lounge Access arrangements each need to be checked separately; for people who like a soak, want a view from the room, or treat breakfast as part of the trip, this step is more useful than just looking at the star rating.

Pros and Things to Accept First

What Appeals to Me

In Akasaka 1-chome, with Tameike-Sanno and Roppongi-itchome arranged by line.
Classic and Premium start from 28㎡ and 32㎡, with clearly separated single and twin bed options.
Plenty of dining and public-space options in the hotel, good for keeping dinner or a leisurely breakfast at the hotel.
Some room types have window-side seating, good for people who want to rest in the room and look out at the city.

Things to Think About Before Booking

It still takes a while to walk from inside Tameike-Sanno Station to the exit, so with suitcases, do not look only at the walking minutes outside the exit.
Bathtub and bathroom separation follow the full room type, and cannot be inferred from photos of other rooms.
Club photos and entitlements do not mean every standard room includes them, and the breakfast venue also depends on the plan.
City views face different directions; if you particularly care about the view from the window, raise the request before booking.

Location and Transport: Check the Exit First When Travelling with Luggage

I choose the exit by line first. The hotel official transport page lists Exit 13 at Tameike-Sanno at about a 1-minute walk and Exit 14 at about 3 minutes, with a lift and escalators at Exit 14; the walk from the Ginza Line gates to these two exits itself takes about 5 minutes, and that part needs to be counted into the travel time.

Exit 3 at Roppongi-itchome is another officially listed option. With large suitcases, a pushchair, or a need for step-free movement, I would first check the Tokyo Metro Tameike-Sanno accessibility information, connect my own line’s platform, gates and ground-level exit, then confirm the entrance route with the hotel.

If you arrive late or several people are travelling with luggage, compare the actual station-to-hotel route and taxi arrangements first; a route that suits your energy will be more comfortable than detouring for the shortest walking number.

How Should the Surroundings Be Arranged?

ARK Hills and Suntory Hall are right beside the hotel, so if you have a performance to attend, I would keep dining and returning to the room in this area. To eat in Roppongi, Azabudai or Akasaka, choose walking or the metro by that day’s destination, rather than always using the same exit.

On a longer stay, I decide the night before which area to visit the next day, using the hotel as a base for rest and packing. If you want to try several restaurants for dinner, leave one evening for the nearby streets; if you want to save travel, the hotel restaurants are another option. Restaurant reservations and opening hours follow each restaurant’s arrangements.

Room Types and Space: Find the Right Bed First

The official Classic page lists 28㎡, with King, Queen and twin configurations; the Premium page lists 32㎡, with King and twin. These are my starting points for comparing in-room space, though the same series can still have different layouts.

If two people both bring large suitcases, I compare the passage at the foot of the bed, window-side seating and desk space, not just the few extra square metres. If you want a soak, choose a plan whose room name states a bathtub or separate bathtub/shower; if bed width matters, confirm the selected bed size before booking.

Club Lounge Access, suites and standard rooms should be looked at separately. The larger living rooms, dining tables or view bathtubs in photos are references for their corresponding room types and do not automatically appear in a Classic room; a high floor also does not guarantee a particular landmark direction.

Services in the Hotel and Arrival Arrangements

Standard check-in is 15:00 and check-out 11:00, with the actual plan times taking priority; before arrival I check them again against the official FAQ and the accommodation notice. If you need an early arrival, luggage storage or a specific room condition, contact the hotel first to arrange it, and do not treat help other guests once received as a guarantee.

The official room pages list Wi-Fi, a Nespresso coffee machine, a safe and an iron, and the fitness centre can be used under guest arrangements. The garden pool has seasonal and usage conditions, so anyone wanting to fit swimming into the itinerary should first confirm opening dates, times and fees; the pool in photos does not mean it is free all year round.

Guests have praised the service, cleanliness and renovated rooms, while others felt differently about space, waiting times or views. Before booking, I state the conditions I care about most clearly, and after arrival, if there is a problem with in-room equipment or arrangements, I ask staff for help early.

How Should Breakfast Be Arranged?

The regular buffet breakfast is at Cascade Cafe on the 2nd floor, officially listed as 6:30–10:30 with last orders at 10:00. The official breakfast page lists adults at 5,100 yen and children aged 6–12 at 2,600 yen, including tax and service charge; prices and availability follow current arrangements, so confirm when booking whether breakfast is already included.

I keep breakfast for the one or two days without a rushed itinerary. The official introduction mentions bread, cereals, fruit, drinks and freshly cooked egg dishes; if you are rushing for a train, ask about dining arrangements first, and do not treat the last-orders time as if you can still slowly eat a full meal just after entering.

In-room dining, Cascade Cafe and Club breakfast need to be kept apart. The hotel also offers an in-room breakfast option, but its cost and menu are charged separately; the refined plating in guest photos may come from a different breakfast venue and cannot be taken as served under every plan.

One Night vs a Longer Stay: Different Things I Care About

For one night, I first choose the bathroom and bed, then save the arrival exit and breakfast arrangements. If you must leave early the next day, leave check-out and luggage time generous.

On a longer stay, window-side seating, desk space and room for two people’s luggage matter more. I compare 28㎡ and 32㎡ under the same bed type, then decide whether a larger room type or lounge entitlement is needed.

If you want to treat this as a relaxing stop, leave one morning for breakfast or resting in the room; if most of your time is spent outside, put transport and sleep needs first, and do not pay extra for entitlements you will not use.

Finally, Who Would I Recommend It To?

I would recommend it to people looking for full service between Akasaka and Roppongi, who value in-hotel dining and are willing to choose room types carefully. Once exits, bathrooms and breakfast are sorted out, this place can hold the rest time between city itineraries.

If what matters most is a particular landmark view, a wide bed or multi-person occupancy, ask the hotel to confirm the corresponding room type and arrangements before making the final choice. Whether a trip feels comfortable often comes down to these specific conditions.
