The dynamic new Four Seasons hotel in downtown Tokyo has at last given the city's more hip and design-conscious visitors an alternative to the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku. This modern, Japanese hi-tech haven, which opened in October 2002, combines warm, relaxing rooms decorated with natural materials with the latest electronic gadgets. Every room comes with a super-slick 42-inch plasma TV, DVD player and Internet port. Throughout the hotel, bespoke furniture is mixed with antiques and contemporary art. All 57 rooms have at least one floor-to-ceiling window. Behind, the flashing neon signs of Ginza, one of the city's most up-market shopping areas, adds to the urban vista.
