"In the popular imagination Tokyo is home to an endless flowering of creativity, and the popular imagination isn’t entirely wrong — but you have to know where to look. For Japan is also, in many ways, one of the world’s most traditional, conservative countries. All of which is to explain why, with a few exceptions, Tokyo’s hotels have been slow to embrace contemporary architecture and design. A hotel like the Shibuya Stream Hotel is a step in the right direction: occupying a distinctive modern building near Shibuya Station, it’s a hotel that’s aimed at creative professionals, and boasts the aesthetics to match." - Tablet Hotels
