"With the opening of the Otemachi sister hotel to the longstanding Marunouchi property , the Four Seasons has reestablished itself as a major force to be reckoned with when choosing among the finest places to stay around town. Otemachi sits more in a financial hub than a proper neighborhood, but it’s a stone’s throw from bustling Ginza and temple-ridden Asakusa —and the gridded streets make it abundantly easy to navigate by foot. In one space are guests and ladies who lunch, sipping high tea, dining on Instagrammable snacks, and enjoying the unobstructed views of Mount Fuji across the lush imperial gardens down below. Head farther into the property to find a passageway to some of the best dining in the city, and upstairs are rooms so plush—yet also somehow embracing Japanese austerity—that you’ll never want to leave." - Brandon Presser
