Fodor's Review:

Although some distance north of the center, this deluxe hotel is near the Kokusaikaikan subway station and the International Conference Hall. Its unusual doughnut shape provides each room with a view of the surrounding mountains and forests. Inside corridors overlook an inner garden. The top Royal floor, opened in 2007, offers a concierge service and refurbished rooms. The lower guest rooms are decorated in rose tones to complement the greenery outside, and all have large beds. At the authentic teahouse beside the pond, demonstrations of the tea ceremony can be arranged. Beaux Sejours serves sumptious buffets of slow-cooked food (like the tender roast beef), and even breakfast is buffet style.
