This hotel differs from ICH concept. As I have used to in Europe. Hotel is large and seems that this hotel is not well organized. We came one hour before official check-in time (14:00/ 2PM). Reception was unfriendly, staff member stated first that there are no reservation for us as it was quaranteed from hotels website. After waiting it was... more

We stayed here August 29th through September 3rd while we attended Nippon 2007 (the 65th World Science Fiction Convention and 46th Japan Science Fiction Convention, combined). It was a great place to start our travels in Japan. The room was large and very clean. We had a lovely view of the water, and the hotel was convenient to the Convention... more

If you are a smoker who is tired of being forced outside to smoke in the U.S. because smoking is prohibited in the lobbies, hallways, and restaurants of hotels, especially upscale US hotels – than this is the place for you. If you are like the vast majority of the U.S. population who has come to enjoy and expect a... more

We stayed here as the main conference hotel for the conference we were attending ... found service in the J (Asian food restaurant) on the top floor disappointing - I mean, if you have staff bow to the closed door of guests, you should at least have staff stop by the dinner table and see if you can sell them... more

The Intercontinental is in an excellent area for convention-goers, is near the Minato Mirai station, and is surrounded by modern towers and many restaurants. The whole of the area surrounding the Intercontinental -- Queen's Square, the Landmark Tower, World Porters, Minato Mirai station, etc -- is totally wheelchair accessible. The only major building I visited in the area which had... more

After staying at the Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo, we could not expect amenities and services at that level in Yokohama. Check in was a bit confusing as they did not allow anyone to begin check in until exactly two o'clock. Then, because we were on the Club floors we had to wait for someone to take us up to the... more

I've just returned to Tokyo from a weekend break staying at the Inter-Continental Grand hotel, Yokohama. This hotel is a real landmark. It's shaped like the mainsail of a yacht, and you'll see it in most photos of Yokohama. The area around the hotel is very open - vast concourses of concrete (though not unattractive) because of the conference centre... more

I was in Yokohama for a four day business trip from September 18 to 21, 2006, and stayed at the Yokohama Grand Intercontinental for the duration. A friend recommended that I reserve a Bay View room, and it turned out to have a fantastic view, from my 18th floor room. The rooms are sized just right, not too small or... more

I have stayed twice at this hotel. It is the nicest of the 4 or 5 hotels in the Minato Mirai 21 area. It is also the furthest from the Sakuragicho train station. Be sure to request a room with a view on the bay. It costs a little more but what a view! As with many hotels in Japan... more
