And now, you can stay in the heart of it all at the brand new NH Collection Gran Via.

2. Hoshino KAI Enshu Resort, Hamamatsu Japan

If you can spare a couple of extra days from exploring the major cities of Japan, like Tokyo and Osaka, you must experience a high-end luxury ryokan, if only for the hearty breakfasts and kaiseki dinners.

1. Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong

For the classiest hotel experience, look no further than the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong where traditional service and attention to detail are still hospitality priorities. Every return to the hotel feels like a homecoming with the warm, friendly and familiar faces of the staff from the front desk to housekeeping. Their appreciation and recognition of loyal customers land the Mandarin as the best hotel experience of the year, especially after getting an amazing upgrade to their Tamar Suite.
