When you're Nintendo, creator of some of the most beloved games of all time that are just bursting with playful innovation, wonder, and creativity, you might expect that to be reflected in the building where the magic all happens.

By opting to reserve a room situated in the old building rather than the newly built annex , I could be sure I was staying in a part of history. These elegant nods are present throughout, including the intimate self-service bar on the third floor, which apparently also stocks Yamauchi's favourite whisky and gin .
