We needed a last minute place to stay and Bean was very accommodating. We did not expect to end up somewhere with such important history! The hotel is a national landmark and much of its aesthetic is reminiscent of its early days. The owner was very kind and spent a lot of time telling us about the rich history of the hotel over tea. A very unique experience and would stay again! It’s also located in Japantown, so there are a ton of great places to eat nearby.
