A prime location and recently-renovated rooms make the Conrad London St. James a solid choice, even if the lounge F&B isn't much to shout about.

The Private Room offers a modern, sophisticated take on luxury, but leans towards competent execution rather than shock and awe.

A royal journey to merrie England, featuring The Private Room, Qsuites, and the brand new Al Mourjan Garden Lounge.

STARLUX's Business Class experience remains stellar even on short-haul regional flights, with all the frills you could need (and then some).

The Roku Kyoto's stunning architecture and picturesque setting is unfortunately marred by indifferent service and underwhelming F&B.

The Conrad Osaka costs a pretty penny, but delivers on every front with stunning views, beautiful facilities, top-notch dining and impeccable service.

No flash or glitz here, but a prime location, great lounge experience and renovated rooms allow the Hilton Tokyo to punch above its weight.
