The Peninsula Hotel

Rising like a rose-hued lantern above the hurly-burly streets of Tokyo, the iconic Peninsula Hotel stands out against the skyline of skyscrapers. Tokyo is your oyster from this central locale, whether you want to hit the big-name stores of Ginza or wander through tranquil gardens. You'll feel like royalty after being driven through the city in one of the emerald-green Rolls Royces, before being welcomed in by a bellboy dressed in white from head to toe. The rooms are some of the largest in Tokyo and lack for nothing in the style department. It's easy to believe the Peninsula has received five stars from Forbes for almost a decade.
