ANAインターコンチネンタルホテル東京

Diamond's practical win here is a Cascade Cafe buffet breakfast for two via the welcome amenity; Platinum gets only a drink or 600 points. Neither tier gets the two-floor club lounge unless the room is a club booking or the member holds an IHG Milestone annual lounge membership, and upgrades are usually just a higher-floor Premium room — the strongest perk most bloggers cite is the InterContinental Ambassador 16:00 checkout.

Breakfast policy

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Not offered

No breakfast; welcome drink or 600 points

Platinum/Ambassador bloggers (Apr and Dec 2025) were offered a welcome drink or 600 IHG points; breakfast was not part of the benefit.

One Dec 2025 guest redeemed the drink at MIXX Bar & Lounge (36F) and used the Ambassador ¥2,000 F&B credit at the lobby bakery instead of buying breakfast.

IHG's Platinum tier carries no breakfast benefit (program guide, Oct 2026).

Diamond Elite · Top-tier

Excellent

Cascade Cafe buffet for two via welcome amenity

Diamond welcome-amenity choice reported as breakfast, one drink voucher or 600 points (Nov 2023); Diamonds in Nov 2023 and Jan 2025 took breakfast at Cascade Cafe.

Buffet with Japanese/Western stations and egg station, 06:30–10:30 (L.O. 10:00, official); staff start resetting before 11:00.

Walk-in adult price was ¥4,289 in late 2023; current post-renovation price not confirmed.

Venues
Cascade Cafe (2F buffet, 06:30–10:30) · Club InterContinental Lounge (club-room guests only)

Club lounge access

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Not offered

Club rooms or Milestone lounge membership only

Official club page: lounge is for guests in the 162 club rooms and suites; IHG status is not listed as an entry route.

Access is possible with IHG's Milestone 'annual lounge membership' (choice at 40 or 70 elite nights, member + one guest); an Apr 2025 family and a July 2026 Ambassador used such a membership here.

Lounge crowding: when the 36F space was closed (Aug 2026 reader review) the 35F lounge was described as crowded.

Diamond Elite · Top-tier

Not offered

Not a Diamond benefit; same Milestone route

Diamond status itself does not include lounge access (program guide, Oct 2026); the Milestone annual lounge membership is the only status-linked route.

No 2024–2026 report found of a Diamond being given lounge access without a club booking or that membership.

Upgrade track record

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Limited

Higher-floor Premium room, mostly for Ambassadors

Apr 2025 Ambassador/Platinum: lowest category to 2 Single Premium High Floor (29F, Tokyo Tower view).

July 2026 Ambassador: moved to a higher floor; no category jump described.

No report from a Platinum member without Ambassador was found.

Diamond Elite · Top-tier

Limited

Premium high floor at best; suites stingy

Nov 2023 Diamond/Ambassador: Classic to 1 King Premium High Floor (28F) — a small step, not a multi-category upgrade.

Jan 2025 Diamond/Ambassador: renovated Classic room on 27F; a Milestone confirmable suite upgrade could not be applied and a paid suite was offered at check-in instead.

No complimentary suite upgrade for a Diamond found in 2024–2026 reports.

Early check-in / late checkout

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Good

14:00 if available; 16:00 guaranteed for Ambassadors

IHG Platinum late checkout is up to 14:00, subject to availability (program guide).

Ambassador bloggers (Apr 2025, Dec 2025, July 2026) all cite a 16:00 checkout, and it was used in July 2026.

No report of what a non-Ambassador Platinum actually received.

Diamond Elite · Top-tier

Good

14:00 subject to availability; later costs extra

Diamond late checkout is up to 14:00 on availability; a Diamond who was also an Ambassador had 16:00 guaranteed (Nov 2023).

A request for 18:00 was refused, with an offer at 50% of the room rate.

A July 2026 reader review reports only one extra hour granted when the hotel was full.
