So "Azabu City" is like saying "District City"...it doesn't make
sense.

Regardless of the difference in meaning, you are right... Azabu City is
totally incorrect.  Azabu-Juuban is a district within Shibuya Ward, Tokyo
Metropolian.

You get full points on the Azabu kanji meaning - linen/flax cloth being
the
literal translation (once I was able to locate the proper radical index
values).

... but you *really* should have consulted a map, as Azabu-Juuban is about
as smack-dab in the middle of Minato-ku as you can get. :)

I've already addressed the real-life existence of Azabu City Hotel in
another post.  However, here's a few links for the Google-impaired:

Don't need google.  I was just out drinking with some friends at Damon's
under Hard Rock Cafe, Roppongi Hills and A bar isn't it in Roppongi.  For
some reason I was under the impression it was in Shibuya-ku as when you come
by car/bike/taxi from Shibuya it seems like it still is... noticed on my
23-ku map that it changes ku at the light just after the tunnel on Roppongi
Dori...  And would you *really* consult a map about the city you live in if
someone asked a simple question?
