Hotel New Otani Tokyo The Main

What the classifiers highlight

A ten-acre, four-hundred-year-old Japanese garden with red bridges and koi ponds wraps around the hotel's 556 rooms. Forbes rates it Four Stars. More than 35 restaurants include the only Japanese branch of San Francisco's Trader Vic's, and the largest hotel pool in central Tokyo turns into an outdoor champagne bar with a live DJ once the sun goes down.
