The Conrad Tokyo

AMENITIES The hotel features a full-service spa and gym, along with a 29th-floor pool, located in a greenhouselike enclosure with cityside views.

THE BOTTOM LINE The Conrad will no doubt be competing with well-known hotel chains like the Grand Hyatt, Park Hyatt and Four Seasons for visitors to Tokyo who are willing to pay top dollar. Short of the Park Hyatt itself, the 28th-floor bar and its nightly jazz band make it a perfect place for travelers to live out their "Lost in Translation" moment. Conrad Tokyo, 1-9-1 Higashi-Shinbashi, Minato-Ku; www.conradtokyo.co.jp; (81-3) 6388 8000. Doubles, 59,000 yen.
