There are perks to travelling but if you’re doing it for business and you’re staying somewhere crummy it can be a pretty miserable experience. Staying somewhere comfortable and stylish can do a lot for your morale while you’re travelling and offer you what you need to be able to stay in touch. Here are the hotels with the “bling” factor in some of the trendiest cities at the moment:
Mandarin Oriental :Tokyo, Japan
As slick and seamless as Japanese technology the Mandarin Oriental works. Each of the suites features windows that reach from the floor to the ceiling giving you full views of the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Bay. You literally sleep in the city and soak up its innovative spirit.
The hotel boasts a fitness center, meeting room and wireless high speed internet access. It is also home to some award-winning restaurants, ideal to impress your business associates after that really important meeting.
Tribe offers a refreshing fusion of tribal African features and contemporary conceptual décor. It’s welcome in a city with a sea of colonially-inspired luxury hotels. Tribe has certainly brought a younger and trendier hotel concept to the cosmopolitan city of Nairobi since its opening.
It’s situated just 10-minutes outside of Nairobi and is conveniently close to Muthaiga Golf Course…need we say more. It also offers luxury spa treatments and world class service, as well as a more modern take on Pan Africanism in this historic African city.
The Carlyle : New York, United States
The Carlyle is a classic and has been part of Madison Avenue’s legacy of glitz and glamor since the 1930s. It’s sophisticated and it’s refined- and definitely the place you want to be seen in on the Upper East Side. The Carlyle Restaurant is a regular haunt for A-list celebrities, political figures and socialites and well worth a visit.
