Experience of the stay
I had visited Odaiba many times, but I had only been to this hotel once for an anniversary lunch when it was still the Nikko Hotel. I remembered seeing the name 'Tokyo Veranda' there. Realizing I had never actually stayed here, I decided to make a reservation for a short summer trip. I chose a time when there would be a live performance, and also reserved a terrace seat. I checked in in a non-Hilton member line but as a member, I received complimentary Wi-Fi service. Upon arriving a little before 3 PM, I found that the lobby had just started the champagne and snacks service, with plenty of variety and quantity provided. There were snacks like kakinotane, okaki, konpeito, Kit Kat, and Bisco, as well as juices like apple and orange, making me feel welcomed at the hotel. The coffee in my room was instant but modestly served in a bento-style box. The bottle of mineral water had a design of Mount Fuji, giving me the impression that there were many tourists from abroad. The Rainbow Bridge felt bigger than when viewed from the viewing platform, and it might be because it was visible directly from the 5th-floor veranda. Beyond that, I could see Tokyo Tower, and to the right, the Skytree, truly experiencing the view of 'Tokyo Veranda'.
Experiences during the trip
I had made a reservation for a table at the terrace restaurant at 6 PM, so I spent some time enjoying the view from my room. When it was time, I went to the second-floor terrace restaurant to find a seat right in front of the stage waiting for me. While enjoying a drink and two types of tapas, I admired the sunset view until the show started. Once the live performance began, I was immersed in an emotional time with the vocalist singing jazz classics and the piano accompaniment. After the live ended and I returned to my room, I could see the stage right below my room, allowing me to enjoy the second set from the comfort of my space. This was indeed Happy Hour! On the way back from shopping at Decks Beach, I enjoyed champagne in the lobby and felt good throughout my stay. The next morning, after having breakfast through room service, I planned to take a stroll along the beach before checkout, but as the view from my room was so fantastic, I ended up staying in my room until almost noon. I spotted the ramp where the amphibious vehicle KABA-chan enters the water nearby, discovering a strange vehicle that swims even though it’s a bus, which made me excited as I left my room.
