Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Seiyo Ginza

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

The grand marble staircase, the profusion of cut flowers, the reception staff in coats and tails: all combine to create an atmosphere more like an elegant private club than a hotel. Along with this elegance, location and personalized service are the best reasons to choose the exclusive Seiyo, tucked away on a side street a few minutes from Ginza. Individually decorated rooms—of varying sizes and styles—have walk-in closets, huge shower stalls, and a direct line to a personal secretary who takes care of your every need. The accommodations, however, are generally smaller than what you might expect considering the hefty room charges.
