Frommer's Review
Located across from Shinobazu Pond in the heart of Ueno, this French-owned hotel is easily recognizable by its unique architecture: five pyramid-shaped trapeziums, stacked on top of each other. Inside, it's an oasis of refined beauty, excellent service, and great views. And with only a handful of rooms on each floor, it has the atmosphere of an intimate, luxury boutique hotel. Its restaurant, Provence, helmed by a French chef, draws rave reviews. Chic rooms, with rates based on size, boast inlaid wood furniture, original artwork, and TVs that double as computers for Internet access (but no e-mail capabilities). Nothing beats the view over Shinobazu Pond with its bird refuge and the adjoining zoo (some rooms facing the opposite side have occasional views of Mt. Fuji). I'm partial to the superior rooms on the 25th floor. Easy accessibility to Ueno Park and its museums make this unique hotel a natural for joggers and art lovers alike.
