It's important to understand that the "Executive House Zen" are two executive floors (11th and 12th) in the New Otani Hotel, which opened in 1964 and has been refurbished a bit more than 10 years ago. While there is a dedicated check-in area (or you just go up to the lounge, where they can check you in as well), everything else is shared with the rather large 5* and attached 4* hotel. The hotel has no direct access to subways, but stations can be reached by just a few minutes on foot. Our King room was large enough (separate sitting area and a large table) and nicely designed with very functional layout, it does not offer as much space as recently built hotels. Worth to mentioned that soft drinks are included in the rate and daily replenished. While I visit Japan regularly over the last 25 years, it still puzzles me that the concept of having a decent after dinner cocktail combined with a view is unheard of in traditional upscale hotels: the sky bar closes at 9 p.m. (last order 30 minutes before), so does the splendid Zen lounge, which is worth visiting. The only place left open is the windowless lobby bar. It's really a pity having to go to another, more modern hotel's bar to get a glimpse of Tokyo's impressive nighttime skyline after dinner. That said, I can recommend the Zen as a luxurious base to explore Tokyo!
