JAPAN TOP 10

Park Hyatt Tokyo

Dozens of hotels have come and gone in the Japanese capital since the Park Hyatt opened in 1994, but it remains top of its game. Occupying the upper floors of a Kenzo Tange– designed tower in Shinjuku, rooms come with elm paneling, deep tubs, and views to Mount Fuji. The pool, spa, and New York Bar, replete with live jazz, are scene-stealers.
