"Aided by large picture windows overlooking Tokyo Bay, Tokyo Tower, and Shinagawa Station, the standard rooms at The Strings, part of Intercontinental, do an admirable job of efficiently using their space. Light sleepers should skip the Shinagawa view—trains regularly trundle some 30 floors down, and despite the double-glazed windows, there's still some light clacking. From other angles, the lofted rooms are perfect nooks for watching the twinkling city lights." - Brandon Presser
