The Peninsula Tokyo, Japan

Recognised as being one of the best hotels in Tokyo by the Condé Nast Traveller magazine, the design of this stylish hotel has been inspired by Japanese heritage and contemporary elements, with all the high-tech conveniences and low-tech creature comforts you would expect from a luxury hotel.

You can have room service delivered through a hatch in the wall or enjoy the striking panoramic scenes from the twenty fourth floor restaurant with views that have to be seen to be believed.

We like: The stunning views of the cityscape.

Best for: A city break.
