JW Marriott Hotel Nara

What the classifiers highlight

Japan's first JW Marriott and Nara's first luxury chain hotel greets guests with a stag artwork nodding to the city's famous deer, then rooms modeled on traditional Nara homes in earthy tones. Forbes rates it Four Stars. Azekura serves teppanyaki, sushi and kaiseki, and mindfulness runs through the stay, from a check-in scent to a Mindful Turndown pillow mist.
