Four Queens Hotel Casino

This is the only upper-bracket, modern hotel in the Asakusa area, and it looks almost out of place rising 28 stories above this famous district's older buildings. It's a good place to stay if you want to be in Tokyo's old downtown but don't want to sacrifice any creature comforts. The medium-size guest rooms are pleasant, with sleek, contemporary furnishings and bay windows that let in plenty of sunshine (and smaller windows that can be opened, a rarity in Tokyo); rooms facing the front have views over the famous Sensoji Temple. Eight Japanese-style rooms are also available, sleeping up to five people; on the same floor are a small, rooftop Japanese garden and Japanese-style public baths featuring tubs made of 2,000-year-old cypress. Facilities 5 restaurants; 2 bars; lounge; 20m (66-ft.) indoor pool w/retractable roof (fee: ¥3,000/$29, but request 50% discount coupon at the front desk); shopping arcade; salon; Japanese-style public baths (fee: ¥1,050/$10); limited room service (7am-11pm); same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
