Ask for a room facing west for stunning views of Mt. Fuji.
Fodor's "Japanese refinement and a contemporary design come together perfectly at the Grand Hyatt—a tasteful and well-appointed hotel in the middle of... one of Tokyo's top entertainment areas." Full review

Odd-numbered rooms look toward Tokyo and Mori Towers while even-numbered rooms have views of Shinjuku, Shibuya and on clear days, Mount Fuji (best to request a higher floor facing west for that).
Travel + Leisure "Grands for their Rebecca beige limestone soaking tubs and Dornbracht rain-showers." Full review
