Deluxe in the ultimate Japanese sense — in that there's nothing showy or ostentatious, but you know no expense has been spared in delivering the best to guests. Once you make your way to the soaring lobby, look up! The walls and ceiling were fabricated to look like the inside of a traditional lantern. Rooms (and service) are impeccable modern layouts with traditional touches. There's also a gorgeous whiskey library and an insane Japanese breakfast, complete with designer fruit. You'd be a fool to not take advantage of the glassed-in pool: A morning dip may be rewarded with views of Mt. Fuji.
