Hotel New Otani The Main is one of Japan’s most renowned classic hotels. I have usually stayed at international brand hotels, but perhaps as I have grown older, I have come to appreciate the charm of classic hotels more.
The restaurants and shops on the arcade floor have likely remained unchanged for years, continuing to be beloved by many loyal customers. Every store was inviting, making me want to explore them all. The room was clean, well-equipped with amenities, and exceptionally quiet, allowing for a truly relaxing stay.
My interactions with the staff were limited to check-in and asking for directions after check-out, but their professionalism and well-trained demeanor left a lasting impression.
Having been accustomed to staying at modern hotels, I found the timeless elegance of this one refreshingly unique. This stay reaffirmed why Hotel New Otani is a distinguished establishment with a well-earned reputation.
