There are 314 guest rooms going up to the 24th floor, but be sure to nab a high one and be specific about a palace view, or you could end up staring at office buildings.

Condé Nast Traveler
""Beautiful and comfortable rooms" are contemporary in design, with high ceilings, light tones, and "wonderful toilets, and I'm not embarrassed to say that"." Full review
Time Out
"Though it shares a celebrity buzz with its sister hotel the Park Hyatt, the effortlessly sleek Grand is pleasingly low-key." Full review
Star Service
"This property counts on the many draws of Roppongi Hills to keep its rooms filled, but immediately gains a loyal following from all who stay here." Full review
i
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).
