Ritz-Carlton Nikko

Nikko, Japan

Set in the heart of Nikko National Park, the Ritz-Carlton Nikko exudes Japanese tranquility from the moment you arrive. Its serene location sets the tone for a zen-like stay, amplified by interiors inspired by traditional Japanese design. Rooms and suites take design cues from Japanese inns with clean lines, neutral tones and light woods. A genkan (foyer) for removing shoes draws out an authentic experience and the Riverside Garden View rooms feel spacious thanks to the addition of an engawa (porch) for enjoying a leafy view. The spa too, is a haven of tranquility. Polished wooden walls encase treatment rooms, plus there’s a sizable fitness room, a sauna, and an onsen, filled with geothermal water. Expect locally sourced ingredients served on hand-crafted Japanese ceramics at the hotel's in-house Japanese restaurant, or experience Japanese tea rituals in the lobby lounge. For something stronger, The Bar has an inimitable collection of Japanese whiskies.
