Shangri-La Tokyo: underground entrance

The basic entrance to the Shangri-La hotel is actually underground.  Taxis and limousines drive down a ramp to a lobby.  Then you have to travel up around 30 floors to the real hotel lobby, and there's yet a 3rd lobby, many floors above that one for the "Horizon Club" floors with its own lounge-restaurant.  Even the below-ground entrance greets you with several ceiling chandeliers.  It's always dark down there which emphasizes the chandeliers and the light from the lobby.
