One of the World’s Most Iconic Hotels Just Reopened in Tokyo. What’s Changed? | Vogue

"From its 52nd‑floor vantage point, surrounded by Valerio Adami’s colorful murals, this crown jewel is one of Tokyo’s most recognized venues yet never feels overrun: crowds are discreetly limited, jazz tinkles through vaulted rooms, and the sky dims in all directions. Fans still head to the New York Bar asking “Were they sitting here?”, snapping photos from the window ledge, and on reopening night the energy felt fresh while the martinis were just as cold and the wagyu sliders just as tender as they’ve been over the past three decades." - Nick Remsen
