Situated in old-town Nihonbashi, Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo is the antidote to that feeling that luxury hotels are the same the world over. Many of the materials are sourced from local artisans, and the lobby and rooms all hint at traditional Japanese motifs, such as the antique woven obi and kimono fabrics that hang in place of paintings. The bird’s-eye view from the rooms trumps most of its top-end rivals, with a mosaic of lights from the business district in the foreground, and Tokyo Skytree and Mt Fuji beyond. 2-1-1 Nihonbashi-Muromachi, Chuo (Mitsukoshimae Station). 03 3270 8800.
