A departure from the typical large scale of most properties in the chain, this Four Seasons, set within the glistening Pacific Century Place, has the feel of a boutique hotel. The muted beige-and-bronze reception area resembles a comfortable private club, with deep-pile carpets, plush brocade sofas, and sumptuous armchairs. Chic black-lacquer doors lead to spacious guest rooms, which actually occupy the five floors below the seventh-floor reception area. Beds have brown-leather-covered headboards that continue partway across the ceiling for a canopy effect. Design really matters here—but so does high-tech luxury, in touches like plasma-screen TVs and variable lighting. The staff speaks fluent English, and the service is spot-on.
