Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel

Frommer's Review

A location right over Nagoya Station makes this Nagoya's most convenient hotel. Occupying the 15th to 52nd floors of one of the twin towers that straddles the station, Nagoya's tallest building also offers the city's best views (ask for a room facing the castle and downtown; higher floors cost more), not to mention quick access to the many restaurants and shops on the lower floors of this "vertical city." Despite its central location, it doesn't skimp on facilities, offering a wide range of in-house dining possibilities (to eat at French restaurant Mikuni, considered Nagoya's top restaurant, you must make reservations months in advance) and a health club, as well as good-size, up-to-date guest rooms. Don't miss having a drink at the 52nd-floor Sky Lounge Zenith (daily 11:30am-midnight) -- but all this is assuming you can even find the hotel. Guests arriving by train not only have to search for the obscure ground-floor entryway, but have to battle the crowds taking elevators to the many restaurants. Luckily, it's worth it.

Facilities: 6 restaurants; 2 bars; 2 lounges; 20m (66-ft.) 4-lane pool, Jacuzzi, and fitness gym (fee: ¥3,150/$26/£13); concierge; business center; salon; bakery; florist; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms
