New Otani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Otani is a chain of hotels, with headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. The main hotel in Tokyo opened in 1964, to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics of that year, and is known for the revolving restaurant atop the hotel, along with the New Otani Art Museum located on its sixth floor. The New Otani operates over 20 hotels in Japan and 3 hotels outside of Japan.

A 400 year-old Japanese garden is on the hotel site, dating from the 1500's when Katō Kiyomasa, a Samurai lord, had his residences on this site.

In the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice, the Hotel New Otani Tokyo is used for the outside scenes at Osato Chemicals, and appears as the Japanese headquarters of Ernst Stavro Blofeld's organization, SPECTRE.

Due to change in ownership, the Los Angeles New Otani has ceased to operate under that name and is now the Kyoto Grand Hotel & Gardens, effective as of November 30, 2007.
