"Sleek hotel on the top 14 floors of Kenzo Tange's 52-story steel-and-granite tower in West Shinjuku, with some of the city's largest standard rooms (they average 592 square feet).
Rooms to Book: West-facing rooms for dramatic views of Mount Fuji, east-facing rooms for panoramic city vistas.
Insider Tip: Take a dawn or dusk swim in the glass-enclosed pool at the 47th-floor Club on the Park.
On the 47th floor of the famously sleek Lost in Translation hotel, this 65-foot-long, four-lane masterpiece under a double-height glass roof has floor-to-ceiling windows that offer spectacular views of the Shinjuku district, the city, and Mount Fuji beyond. Visit at night when the pool is a fluorescent blue and the cityscape glitters below. The pool is part of the hotel's Club on the Park spa and fitness center, so you can order salads and juices from the spa menu while you recline on deck chairs under those tall windows."

"A 17-story tower on the Kowloon waterfront that houses two of Hong Kong's favored outposts—Nobu and Alain Ducasse's Spoon—plus, some of the town's freshest rooms, thanks to the recent $70 million overhaul.
Rooms to Book: Superior Harbourviews, for soaking in Hong Kong Island's skyline.
Insider Tip: Enjoy an outdoor pool-cabana spa treatment, then take a dip in the trio of infinity pools overlooking Victoria Harbour.
The infinity pool on the terrace of the new $11,200-a-night Presidential Suite at the InterContinental appears to share water with Victoria Harbour. (If only the pool had regular edges, you could rest your scotch on one of them as you gazed through the mist at those luminous skyscrapers.) The 7,000-square-foot suite comes with two 24-hour butlers, a gymnasium, and high-tech toilet seats that rise automatically when you enter the room. This over-the-top lair is just one of the impressive additions to the property, which has undergone an overhaul to stay competitive in the city’s heated hotel market. There’s also a fleet of butlers for guests in the 495 spiffed-up rooms (with iPod docks and Bose surround sound), and outposts of Nobu and Alain Ducasse’s Spoon. One thing didn’t require improvement: the hotel’s unrivaled views of Hong Kong."

"The crowd: International execs soaking away their jet lag; Asian beauties in town from Taipei and Shanghai for a little trendy shopping.
How's the water? Three pools, each a different temperature, line this second-floor terrace overlooking the edge of Hong Kong's famous harbor. Take a dip at sunset to discover the best seats in town to soak in the cityscape. The pools' glass walls magnify the effect that you're floating in the harbor itself. A recent renovation has brought new cabanas for spa treatments and a teak-decked dining pavilion surrounded by lily ponds. If you can afford to seriously splurge, book the presidential suite, which has its own, private 340-square-foot rooftop pool and Jacuzzi.
The poolside tipple: Johnnie Walker Blue with one ice cube.
The hotel: In addition to the views, the InterCon is known for world-class service and big guest rooms with big LCD TVs, iPod docking stations, and sunken tubs. Anglophiles will adore afternoon tea, while new agers go for the free tai chi and yoga."
