The Kahala Hotel & Resort Yokohama

A Hawaiian luxury resort that somehow makes perfect sense on the Yokohama waterfront, this blue glass tower holds a Michelin Key and earns it with floor-to-ceiling harbor views from every room. The interiors run crystal chandeliers and black-and-white geometry, with just enough Hawaiian and Japanese touches, fresh flowers, a traditional water garden, Lomi Lomi spa treatments, to keep the cultural conversation going without tipping into theme park.
