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

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

My first-ever cherry blossom experience, featuring Hilton Tokyo, Conrad Osaka, and Roku Kyoto, plus STARLUX and China Airlines.

Qatar's older Business Class seat lacks privacy, but is otherwise solid. That said, it'll always be a disappointment when substituted for Qsuites.

While privacy doors, double beds and wireless charging are neat, cramped confines and a lack of storage space hamstring this seat.

Emirates' new First Class is a stunning reimagination of luxury air travel, although the limited deployment means it's more marketing tool than true Game Changer.

Emirates' gargantuan First Class lounge has excellent dining and every amenity you could ask for, yet severely lacks character- a prime example of how less can be more.

Emirates A380 First Class goes for shock-and-awe, and while it won't be for everyone, it's certainly fun the first time round.
