Alila Ubud Review: The Bali I Had Imagined, Bugs and All
My Hyatt Privé rate was supremely good, and the hotel felt genuinely integrated with the jungle. The tradeoff was a dated room where insects appeared roughly once a day.

Raffles Doha Review: Doha’s Unquestionable It Hotel
Raffles Doha is over the top in the best way, with a mesmerizing lobby, an unusually detailed suite and a real sense that no expense was spared. My room had a few maintenance issues, but this is still my favorite hotel in Doha.
Alila Shanghai Review: The Room Was Good Enough to Give Up the Bund View
This is my current favorite hotel in Shanghai. The Deluxe Suite felt like someone’s really high-end, well-designed apartment, not a copy-pasted corporate hotel room.
Waldorf Astoria Osaka Review: The Rooms Are Amazing, but Four Seasons Still Has a Slight Edge
This is a phenomenal new hotel with grand rooms and unbeatable value for a Hilton free-night certificate. The major caveat is an overwhelmingly strong indoor-pool smell.
ANA InterContinental Tokyo by IHG Review: Fresher Rooms Than The Strings, With a Breakfast Caveat
I would generally choose this over InterContinental The Strings Tokyo for the fresher rooms and better facilities. The Strings still wins for breakfast and Shinagawa transport logistics.
Park Hyatt Tokyo Review: Excellent, but Farther Away Than You Think
The renovated room, white-tablecloth breakfast and one of my favorite hotel gyms in the world made this an excellent Tokyo staycation. The location is the major compromise.
Hyatt Place Kyoto Review: A Dream Budget Hotel
I stayed twice and found the same thing both times: an extraordinarily fresh, peaceful, well-maintained hotel for only 8,000 Hyatt points at standard pricing. It is basic, but shockingly cheap for how good it is.
Park Hyatt Doha Review: A ridiculous Diplomatic Suite for a ridiculous price
Park Hyatt Doha is a very solid city hotel in a very competitive hotel market. My stay was heavily biased by the fact that I booked a gigantic Diplomatic Suite for 9,000 points plus about $185, and that room was the whole reason to stay here.
