Extravagant and contemporary yet restrained and traditional, Four Seasons is an impressive new luxury hotel in the Higashiyama sightseeing district. The long bamboo-lined entrance brings you to a vast airy lobby with huge floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the 800-year-old koi-filled pond and stunning gardens. The elegant rooms feature dark-wood floors, iPads, huge TVs, coffee-pod machines and marble bathrooms.
Facilities are top-notch, including a 20m pool, sushi restaurant, brasserie, bar, and a teahouse by the pond serving sake and champagne from 5pm to 9pm each evening.
