I am so fortunate to have visited some of the most beautiful hotels around the world. While most of them are somewhat predictable, the Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo knocked me out.
I stayed here for two nights in one of their Tatami Suite accommodations.
I don’t know how I ever ended up in this incredible suite, but it was one of the most unusual, comfortable, and memorable hotel experiences I’ve ever had.
Most especially since this suite is located in a high rise hotel; one you’d never, ever, believe had such a suite. When you walk off the elevator and open the door to this suite, you are momentarily stunned at what you see.
To say it’s beautiful is an understatement.
It’s subtle, calm, and unique. It’s on a very high floor of the hotel (I think it was the 40th floor) which makes this even more amazing. The bed was a traditional futon; the room was large enough to accommodate at least four people, and the traditional Japanese bath was, in a word, incredible.
I’ll never forget this suite, ever.
Are we there yet?
