Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel

A location right over Nagoya Station makes this Nagoya's most convenient hotel. Occupying the 15th to 52nd floors of Nagoya's tallest building, it 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 health club; good-size, up-to-date guest rooms; and a wide range of in-house dining possibilities (to eat at French restaurant Mikuni, considered Nagoya's top restaurant, make reservations months in advance). Don't miss having a drink at the 52nd-floor Sky Lounge Zenith (daily 11:30am-midnight; ¥1,000 music charge in the evening) -- 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 (reception is on the 15th floor). Luckily, it's worth it.

Facilities:
6 restaurants, including Mikuni, 2 bars; 2 lounges; concierge; executive-level rooms; 20m (66-ft.) 4-lane pool, Jacuzzi, and fitness gym (fee: ¥3,150); room service; smoke-free rooms
