"One of the city’s few boutique hotels, the Granbell is a step up from your average business hotel, though it’s priced about the same."

"Hoshinoya Tokyo is one of the capital's very few luxury ryokans...it promises to present a serious challenge to Tokyo's glut of luxury hotels, though a night's stay sure doesn't come cheap here."

"Set among the straight-laced skyscrapers in the city’s financial district, the property might not be one the loftier hotels in Tokyo, but what it lacks in height it makes up for in clever design."
