The ANA typifies the ziggurat-atrium style that seems to have been a requirement for hotel architecture from the mid-1980s. The reception floor, with its two-story fountain, is clad in enough marble to have depleted an Italian quarry. In general, though, the interior designers have made skillful use of artwork and furnishings to take some of the chill off the hotel's relentless modernism. Guest rooms are sleek and spacious. The Astral Lounge on the top (37th) floor and the Executive floors provide superb views of the city and Mt. Fuji (on clear days). The hotel is a short walk from the U.S. Embassy.
