"A storied Ginza landmark with roots back to 1883 and significant architectural pedigree: after a fire, the property was redesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1923 and elements of that design—murals and terra-cotta tiles—survive in historic public spaces. Over the decades the hotel has hosted prominent international figures and evolved into a large, modern 659-room institution while retaining evocative relics of its layered architectural history." - Mary Holland
