Breakfast policy

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Not offered

Not free; ¥2,000 credit and member discount

Recent Platinum reports (Jan 2025, Jan 2026) and a 2026 benefits guide all say free breakfast is not offered; Ritz-Carlton is exempt from Marriott's breakfast benefit.

Splendido serves a Japanese, Western and Chinese buffet from about 06:30-07:00 to 10:30, ¥4,500 per adult for hotel guests (2025-2026 reports).

Elites receive a ¥2,000 hotel credit usable at breakfast, and a Bonvoy member discount on breakfast at Splendido for up to two people has been reported.

Older reports (2021) described free breakfast for Platinum-and-above on points stays only; recent reports do not mention it.

Titanium / Ambassador · Top-tier

Not offered

Same as Platinum: credit, no free breakfast

No recent Titanium or Ambassador report describes free breakfast; the same ¥2,000 credit applies.

A Titanium member on points had free Splendido buffet for two in 2021 under the points-stay exception, which recent sources no longer describe.

Venues
Splendido (1F, buffet) · Club Lounge (34F, Club-level guests only)

Club lounge access

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Not offered

No lounge access from status

The official site states Club access requires a Club booking and elite status does not include it.

Paid upgrades to the Club floor were quoted at ¥22,356 (Titanium family stay, published Nov 2025), ¥37,950 for two adults (Aug 2025) and ¥44,000 (2026 guide).

Titanium / Ambassador · Top-tier

Not offered

No lounge access, Titanium or Ambassador

Same rule for all tiers. A Lifetime Titanium member who paid for the Club floor was then upgraded within it to a corner Club Deluxe room.

Upgrade track record

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Good

Higher floor or corner room usual; suite once

A Platinum member on points (published Jan 2026) was moved to a Sky View room on the 37th, top floor.

Other Platinum reports went from Superior to a Deluxe King city-view corner room, and from Superior to Sky View Superior on the 36th floor (2025-2026).

A January 2025 stay received the 76 m² Executive Suite, renovated in 2024, described as a Platinum benefit (the author also reports holding Titanium).

A Golden Week 2025 Platinum stay got no upgrade, so peak dates cut the odds.

Titanium / Ambassador · Top-tier

Good

Corner and Club-floor moves within booked type

A Lifetime Titanium member who paid for the Club floor (published Nov 2025) was upgraded to a corner Club Deluxe room.

An earlier Titanium stay (2021) went from Club Superior to Club Deluxe corner.

Status does not lift a standard-room booking to the Club floor.

Early check-in / late checkout

Platinum Elite · Mid-tier

Good

16:00 granted in recent reports

Standard check-in is 15:00 and checkout 11:00 per the official site.

A Platinum stay in January 2025 received 16:00 checkout; benefit lists give Platinum up to 16:00 on availability.

Titanium / Ambassador · Top-tier

Good

16:00 on availability

Titanium follows the same 16:00 rule; no report of anything later.

No reports describe early check-in as a status benefit.

Kids & bed-sharing

Good

Two under-13s share free; lounge has child fees

Up to two children 12 and under can share beds free of charge (family stay published Nov 2025); a family of five fitted in one junior suite at Golden Week 2025.
