Revitalize Your Senses at These Exciting Hotel Stays
Aman Tokyo Tokyo, Japan
Aman Tokyo feels like another world, nestled on the top floors of Otemachi Tower, high above the streets of the city itself. Here, you will be able to experience true luxury as you gaze over one of the most modern cities in the world—with views of the famed Imperial Palace East Gardens, no less. However, here, it's mostly what's inside that counts, like jaw-dropping rooms decorated according to Japanese design traditions with free-standing stone baths overlooking the city. Of course, no Aman would be complete without several magnificent culinary destinations, and Aman Tokyo is no exception, from Italian food at Arva to edomae sushi offering omakase style at Musashi by Aman, to the forest-surrounded The Café by Aman. Make a point to visit the spa, as well, as they utilize traditional Japanese healing methods to bring a unique twist to their world-class wellness offerings.

The dining is a particular highlight, with Twenty Three Grand, a not-to-be-missed restaurant from restaurateurs David Rabin and James Julius with Chef Ashley Rath leading the kitchen, offering al fresco dining in an interior courtyard, and a signature burger that is absolutely out-of-this-world. For a comfortable stay where the absolute best of New York is on display, look no further.

The offerings are glamorous, including many rooms with river views or patios, a dream spa with a plethora of treatments made onsite, and three distinct places to drink & dine, including an award-winning, ingredient-driven cocktail bar from mixologist Ryan Chetiyawardana and an eclectic rooftop bar and terrace overlooking the city and river.
There is no stay as youthful and buzzy in New York's historic East Village as the rooms at the neighborhood's iteration of The Standard, a 21-story hotel that merges the best of the city's vibrant past and present.

While NYC is a great place to get out and explore, there's also plenty to do on-site, including Café Standard and NO BAR, which even locals come to hang out at. Plus, at the end of November, they're opening a cozy seasonal restaurant, Partridge, which puts a mid-century twist on classic winter dishes. You can even order a disposable camera from your waiter to ensure your best holiday memories are perfectly captured.
