The New Ōtani was a showplace hotel when it opened in 1964 to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics. Even though this is no longer considered the pinnacle of Tokyo's luxury hotels, it remains worth visiting for its beautiful 400-year-old garden , which once belonged to a Tokugawa regent, and for the New Ōtani Art Museum , which displays a decent collection of modern Japanese and French paintings, as well as woodblock prints.
