| The Palace Hotel, Tokyo, seen across Hibiya Park | 
Returning to the Palace Hotel after several years, finding it completely rebuilt and absolutely stunning. I must have spent about a year of my life staying here between 1978 and 2006.

It was redesigned by a British firm, 
GA Design. Brilliant work.
