    A boutique hotel occupying a handful of floors inside a Marunouchi tower, this Four Seasons runs to fewer than 60 rooms, which means the lobby is essentially a discreet counter and the whole thing feels less like a grand hotel and more like a very well-funded apartment. Neutral tones, minimal fuss, a spa with a traditional onsen, and Tokyo Station close enough that your cab ride from Narita is almost embarrassingly short. It holds a Michelin Key.

    1. Would go back @bestchris

      This was my first Four Seasons stay, so maybe this is all par for the course, but the whole experience was incredible. The room (we had a Ginza suite) was super nice and had a great view of the trains going by, the staff was so nice it was almost disarming, and the restaurant upstairs (not Sezanne... our kids weren't old enough to get in) became a bit of a second home (our 10 y/o couldn't get enough of the wagyu cheeseburger, so we popped in most days right before bed). Speaking of kids, we had a bit of a thing at the beginning because they have a three-person maximum in most rooms (I guess they changed the policy after we booked), but we got it sorted. Our original room had two queens, but apparently each child at the Four Seasons needs his own bed, so we ended up in a suite with an amazing mattress applied to the couch bed. We were a little skeptical going in about how they'd be with kids, but it wasn't a thing at all. They were treated so well that they went off on the last night (without us knowing what they were up to) to go say bye to the restaurant manager (I think he was the manager?) personally. I don't remember his name, but I remember he's from Nepal and he rules.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
