Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Okura Kobe
2--1 Hatoba-cho, Kobe, Hyogo-ken, 650-8560, Japan
Rising 35 stories over Meriken Park, this is one of the city's best lodgings. Beautifully furnished, the hotel lives up to the Okura chain's reputation for excellence. Rooms were designed by David Hicks, who has also done interiors for the British royal family. The hotel has a well-equipped health club and stunning views of the bay from the beautiful Sazanka Teppanyaki Restaurant on the 35th floor.
PROS
- high level of customer service
- choice of Western or Japanese rooms
- great views
CONS
- the extras are pricey
- Western rooms are somewhat dated
- a bit of a hike to most of the city's sights
