HOSHINOYA TOKYO

The wall of bamboo shoeboxes, the tatami mats, the kimono – all these deliver the ryokan experience, yet you’re in the heart of the city. The blend of traditional and modern makes this stay so special, with hot spring baths and a lounge on each floor enhancing the feeling of exclusivity. hoshinoya.com/tokyo

AMAN TOKYO

Designed by the late Australian architect Kerry Hill, the Tokyo branch of this luxury resort group takes up the top six floors of a highrise and offers spectacular views of the city. Aside from its exquisite Japanese furnishings, the award-winning design features a lobby with a huge washi paper lantern. It’s a sight worth seeing. aman.com/resorts/aman-tokyo
