The article describes several travel destinations. Standing on the 54th floor of the Mori Tower in the Roppongi Hills complex, with all Tokyo spread out around you, it's clear what makes this" Urban New Deal" such a striking phenomenon. Tokyo is a horizontal city. The tower itself is taken up mostly by business space, leased to tenants like Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs, but the complex has become one of Tokyo's top tourist attractions. In the sun-deprived depths of winter, while other Alpine tourists were grappling with skis and ski fashions, I landed at Salzburg's W. A. Mozart Airport with a fistful of concert tickets for Mozart Week, Salzburg's annual celebration of the January 27 birthday of its wayward son. Because it's in Anguilla, an island known for hotels and villas of stark-white, fantasy-shape architecture--a little Greek, a little Moorish, a little outer space--Altamer fits right in. The arty-chic Soho Grand Hotel in lower Manhattan has combined its original five penthouse rooms into two sprawling, roughly 1,500-square-foot suites.
