Concierge.com's insider take:
This discreet, luxury Rosewood hotel between Ginza and Nihonbashi was founded by Seiji Tsutsumi, a scion of a legendary business dynasty. It's easily overlooked, since the entrance is barely visible from street level, which is just the way the high-profile guests like it. The place is their little secret—their home away from home. In December 2004, the Seiyo hosted a dinner—at one million yen per head (about $8,600)—for 20 guests that was cooked by Michelin-starred chef Joël Robuchon and hosted by the world's most influential wine critic Robert Parker. But you don't have to be a boldface name to be treated famously. The level of service is exceptionally high: Knowledgeable concierges will arrange business and travel plans, and a 24-hour butler service takes care of everything from unpacking to laundry.
