From the deep dark elegance of Italian Piero Lissoni's interior to the hug oak bar hugging the lounge music, Tokyo's Mitsui Garden Hotel in Ginza is the boutique hotel for those of us who hate the name "boutique hotel". Tokyo is rife with hotels catering to the ultra-wealthy, ultra-short, and ultra-"I have a meeting in the morning and I don't want to see Tokyo"-crowd. Though this new Ginza location may be changing the way that visitors see Tokyo. Whether for luxury or unpretentious elegance, at $111 USD per night, the sushi won't steer you wrong.
