We read Conrad Tokyo's English and Japanese pages side by side, and they do not agree on what things cost. The English page prices afternoon tea at 9,400 yen. The Japanese page lists the same seating from 7,900 on a weekday — because the English version simply omits the standard tier and shows only the one that comes with a teddy bear. It is not the only gap. The gym and pool are closed to non-guests whatever you have read, with exactly one official exception. The English page says the gym is open 24 hours; the Japanese page and the spa's own price sheet say 6:00 to 22:00. And the whole hotel closes for a day in January 2027.

🚨 Where the English and Japanese pages disagree
The gym's hours. English: "Fitness: 24 hours." Japanese and the official price PDF: 6:00–22:00. Read together the answer is that 6:00–22:00 is the operating window and hotel guests alone get 24-hour access, unstaffed between 22:00 and 6:00.
Restaurant hours. The English listing for Collage shows only Saturday evening — dropping both the Monday and Tuesday closure and the fact that lunch runs weekends only. Where the two versions conflict, we have followed the Japanese pages throughout.
The spa, and the one door open to non-guests
What is behind the members-only line
Mizuki Spa & Fitness occupies 1,400 square meters on the 29th floor, reached by a guest lift from 28. It holds a 25-meter indoor pool with a seven-meter-high window, a 60-square-meter gym, a studio, dry and steam saunas, a jacuzzi and ten treatment rooms including twin rooms and a suite with its own bath. And both language versions say the same thing about access: the fitness area is a private space available only to members and guests staying at Conrad Tokyo. If you have read that you can buy a day pass for the pool, you have read something the hotel does not offer.
Moon Yoga: the exception, stated officially
There is one published route in. Moon Yoga is priced at 15,000 yen for visitors — free for fitness members, 3,800 for hotel guests — and the Japanese page states explicitly that it includes use of the gym, pool, jacuzzi and sauna. It runs poolside from 19:00 to 20:00 with eight places, on scheduled dates only. The English page confirms it is available to visitors. Beyond that, spa treatments themselves are open to non-guests: 60-minute body work from 38,000 yen, the signature 120-minute from 58,000, and studio classes at 2,600 for 30 minutes or 3,800 for 60 — all tax and service inclusive, with cancellation charged in full inside 24 hours.
Rooms, views and the practical details
The view is one panorama, not two
The hotel does not market a garden side and a bay side as alternatives. What it describes is a single outlook that takes in Hamarikyu Gardens, Tokyo Bay and the Rainbow Bridge together — greenery below by day, the bay lit up at night — with city rooms facing the office towers instead. Windows are roughly three meters high. On size, the hotel says its 48-square-meter standard room is among the largest in Tokyo; that is its own claim and we pass it on as such, though it is comfortably above the city's norm. Above it sit 72-square-meter suites, 85 for corners, 110–130 for deluxe suites, 160 for the two-bedroom and 226 for the Royal Suite on the top floor. Amenities are BYREDO. If you are weighing the field, our Tokyo luxury hotels guide sets out how the tier compares.
Two costs that are easy to avoid
In-room internet is charged at 1,000 yen — and the Japanese FAQ states that Hilton Honors members get it free. Membership costs nothing, so this is a two-minute signup before you travel. The second is the bar: TwentyEight applies a 2,000-yen cover charge per person after 18:30 to anyone not staying and not dining in the restaurants. Eat first and it is waived. Live music runs at 19:20, 20:15, 21:10 and 22:05.
Getting there, and what is currently suspended
Shiodome station is one minute away on the Oedo line and Yurikamome; Shimbashi is seven for JR, Asakusa and Ginza lines. The English page says the hotel is next to the station — it does not say directly connected, though an underground walkway exists and the hotel publishes a map of it. From the airports: Haneda is 20km, Narita 70km, and the limousine bus to Haneda is currently suspended. The Narita coach still runs at 3,600 yen in about two hours but must be booked and paid online in advance. Parking is 3,000 yen per 24 hours for guests, 300 per 30 minutes otherwise, and there is no EV charging. Tokyo Station is close enough that our Tokyo Station hotels guide covers overlapping ground if location is your deciding factor.
Dining, and what the awards actually say
Five rooms, all open to non-guests
All on the 28th floor. Collage is modern French, 55 seats, closed Mondays and Tuesdays, lunch weekends only from 9,500 yen and dinner 12,000–25,000 — with the building's strictest dress code (business casual, jackets suggested, no shorts, collarless tees, hoodies or sandals) and an 11-and-over rule. China Blue is Cantonese across 90 seats with three private rooms. Kazahana is Japanese, 81 seats, with kaiseki, sushi and teppanyaki counters — the counters are 10-and-over. Cerise is the all-day room, and note that non-guests taking breakfast are held to 90 minutes. There is also an executive lounge on 37, though visitor access at 7,000 yen is limited to companions of executive-floor guests, not the general public.
No Michelin star we can verify
We tried to check and could not: the Michelin Guide's site sits behind bot protection that returned nothing, and there was no usable archive copy. So we will report what is verifiable. The hotel's own awards page, covering 2015 through 2026, does not mention Michelin anywhere. What it does record is Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence 2026 for Collage — its thirteenth consecutive year — and Forbes Travel Guide 2026 four stars for both the hotel and the spa. Four stars, not five. If a guide tells you the restaurants are starred, ask where that came from.
Hamarikyu Gardens, next door
The gardens the hotel overlooks are worth the 300 yen — 150 if you are 65 or over, free for elementary school children — but they run on their own schedule. Open 9:00 to 17:00 with last entry at 16:30, closed December 29 to January 1. Free English guided tours run Saturdays, Sundays and the second and fourth Mondays at 11:00, but they are suspended over summer — July 1 to September 14 in the 2026 fiscal year, and canceled when the heat index passes 31. One rule that surprises people with cameras: photography and filming inside the garden require advance application, commercial or not. We are not going to tell you how far the walk is, incidentally — Conrad's own location page gives both 0.1km and 2.6km on the same screen, so we will say only that it is adjacent, and that the garden's own directions put its Nakano-gomon entrance five minutes from Shiodome station.

Bottom line (2026) — Conrad Tokyo’s English page lists afternoon tea at 9,400 yen, while the Japanese page lists the same seating from 7,900 yen on a weekday. The gym and pool are closed to non-guests despite what guides say, with one official exception, and the hotel closes entirely for a day in January 2027. Hamarikyu Gardens next door costs 300 yen.
