What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Like the city itself, the hotel is a heady mix of modern and historical elements — a thoroughly contemporary business hotel with plenty of local color.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Yamashita Park sits two blocks away toward the water, and Chinatown is a five-minute stroll south.
The rooms
Rooms have traditional folding screen motifs, and wide windows look out across the port or skyline.
The gym
Life Fitness treadmills and elliptical cross trainers line the windows in the compact third-floor fitness room.
Restaurant
Harbor Kitchen
Herringbone parquet floors run through the cruise-inspired dining room, where an open kitchen prepares international buffet dishes.
The Union Bar & Lounge
A glowing circular bar sits beneath a tiered crystal chandelier, with lounge tables gathered near the grand piano.
At the table
Milano Grill uses French techniques for Italian recipes, cooking Saga A5 wagyu behind an open marble counter.
How it began
Architect Kuniken designed the facade to mirror the adjacent 1921 Russo-Asiatic Bank, a designated municipal cultural property.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
