Tokyo Dai-Ichi Hotel Nishiki

This smart-looking hotel is my top pick among Nagoya's moderately priced hotels in the city center. Located in the heart of Nagoya's nightlife and business district on Nishiki Dori, it has prices comparable to those of a business hotel but with a much classier atmosphere and decor. Targeting businesspeople as well as female travelers (some may find the flower-patterned bedspreads too feminine), it offers smartly decorated rooms with large desks and larger-than-usual bath towels. There's only one double, but some of the standard twins have two sinks (good for two people trying to get ready at the same time), while deluxe twins are separated into living and sleeping areas and even have two TVs. Rooms facing another building have glazed windows, so if seeing out is important to you, be sure to say so.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; concierge; smoke-free rooms
