Perched on the summit of 625-metre Mount Poromoi above Lake Toya in Hokkaido, the Windsor Hotel Toya was chosen as the venue for the 34th G8 Summit on July 7-9, 2008, where George W. Bush, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy, and five other heads of state convened: a distinction that still defines its place in the canon of Japan's grand resort hotels.
