Japan: Tokyo & Kyoto Hotels

A chic staging ground for forays into Tokyo's storehouse of restaurants and nightclubs, the Grand Hyatt Tokyo first proclaims its style in its sleek lobby. The Hyatt is a 389-room, 21-floor citizen of the fashionable Roppongi Hills district, which has cinemas, shopping, the Mori Art Museum and more. The hotel, by the way, has its own collection of destination-worthy restaurants and bars.
