Aman Tokyo – Premier Room
The twinkly Tokyo skyline is deservedly famed (Lost in Translation, anyone?), but who needs the Park Hyatt’s New York Bar – and its 2,200JPY entry fee – when you can nab an even better aspect at the Aman Group’s urban debut. The Aman Tokyo sits pretty by the Imperial Palace, and even the entry-level rooms rep sofa-sided glass walls looking out onto the sparkly Skytree. More like ahh, man.

Rome Cavalieri – The Penthouse Suite
What’s better than a room with a view? A roof with a view. Make that a roof with a Jacuzzi with a view. From the private portico of the Rome Cavalieri’s Penthouse Suite the twilight vistas of the Eternal City really are, well, eternal. And the inside eye candy ain’t bad either when you’ve got original Warhols on the walls and Karl Lagerfeld furnishings. One can dare to dream…
