You’d be styling if your living space in Tokyo had a walk-in closet, private gym, executive office, Bose surround sound system (in each room), and a bathroom with its own sauna and a jet bath overlooking the Imperial Palace gardens. But all this in a hotel suite? That’s just silly. In the August issue of Elite Traveler magazine, the Presidential Suite at the Shangri-la Hotel, Tokyo was named one of the top 101 suites in the world—the only one in Japan to make the list. Designed by Hong Kong heavyweight Andre Fu, the 269m2 (2,896 ft2) space features such amenities as Baccarat table lamps, Bulgari toiletries, custom-made carpets and two-story-high ceilings. Elite Traveler singled out the “rich palette of burgundy, gold, beige and salmon that lends a true sense of regalness to the decor.” The price for one night’s stay? A cool ¥1 million.
