Spectacular views from Park Hyatt Tokyo
pajamas for two . many hotels of Japan They offer pajamas. We don't dare to sleep with it, but we love to try it on in the mirror and take a picture of ourselves. We like this detail so much that we dedicated these words to it a few months ago. Something like this must be said and repeated until in the rest of the world good hotels give away precious pajamas that we do not dare to wear.
The breakfast. We thought that the combination of eggs Benedict, hand-cut potatoes, mango and papaya salad, buttery croissants, muesli and cappuccino was the pinnacle of our hotel breakfast. That's how it was until we went to Tokyo. There we have seen ourselves having breakfast of fish that we ignore without existence or if we have seen them in comics, soups of strange colors, rice, seaweed, green cakes and also the best French patisserie. There is a hotel before and after a breakfast, for example, the Hyatt Regency or the New Otani. And whoever says that they eat ham, nothing, we send it on the first flight back to Spain.
At some point in their history, the Japanese thought that traveling in pajamas made no sense.

The elegance . Much of what we know about hotel luxury we learned in Lost in Translation. There we discovered places like the Park Hyatt, where you could swim at night, listen to jazz with the lights of the city in the background and the rooms wrapped like an obi wraps the body. sofia coppola It is her fault that now any hotel does not serve us. Also that a large part of the travelers who visit Tokyo visit Park Hyatt. Sofía, life tourism councilor of the Tokyo City Council already.

Details, details, details. Once my suitcase did not arrive with me at the airport Narita . In my room at the Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo, someone had left a beautiful matte black box on top of the box. I opened it and there was underwear, a toiletry bag, T-shirt and socks. If anyone can think of a better definition of luxury, send me an email, please, and tell me about it. In my room at that hotel there were also binoculars to look out the window. The Tokyo MO is in my Top5 hotels on planet Earth.

A ryokan in the big city? Also. It is not usually the first option for accommodation in the city, but there are. They are, like almost everything in Tokyo, camouflaged. Beware: that they are traditional accommodation does not mean that they are cheap. In fact, they may not be at all. That they are traditional does not mean that they are old. For example: the Andon ryokan, so 21st century.

A hotel in the palace. Sleeping at the Palace Hotel is going to be the closest we'll ever get to the Emperors and the melancholy Masako . Opened just a year ago, this hotel overlooks the Imperial Palace and breaks with that preconceived (and true) idea that tokyo it's just cement. Tokyo is a lot of concrete, but it has amazing parks like this one.

Capsule hotels. They took that phrase that everyone has said to the extreme: “I only want a hotel to sleep in”. Well here you have just the space for this. They fulfill their function, they have a retrofurista look and we also fantasize about spending one night, no more, in them. To tell the tale, above all Beware: not all allow women, this capsule hotel in Asakusa does. Views and built-in wardrobes, they must have thought when inventing them, are overrated.

The views. Tokyo is not pretty. Go ahead with this. It's wonderful but not pretty. Of course, its views, although reserved for the very urbanites, are fascinating. Large hotels reserve the highest floors of buildings. What you see from them is a kaleidoscope of steel and glass, micro one-story houses and skyscrapers of many. The first time I went, when I got to my room at the Conrad, someone came forward and opened the curtains on a window that took up the entire room. It was dark night and when I saw the whole city illuminated in front of me, two tears fell.
