The lure of the boutique hotel

Jun 26, 2008 by FN Blogger Kissa CastaƱeda

claska_1.jpgBoutique hotels have a special target--those who crave for a different hotel experience and are willing to pay for it. It usually is a small and very discriminating set, and they expect subtle luxury evident from the uniquely designed rooms down to the service.
 
The best boutique hotels pride themselves not only for the architecture and interiors but also for carrying designer furniture and one-off pieces not to be found in the usual Hilton chain. Claska, the only luxury boutique hotel in Tokyo, offers this plus more. It has a gallery, a studio (often booked by fashion magazines for shoots) and a dog salon called DogMan.
 
Located in Meguro, it's quite hard to find (even for Tokyotites) but is well worth it for those who want to escape the city. It's also perfect for visitors who want to see a different side of Tokyo.
 
Everyone knows that true luxury is in the details, and attention to detail is what boutique hotel Claska offers.

  • They offer a carefully chosen DVD list to save the guest of the tedious editing procedure
  • Claska also shares its musical taste and preference through compilation CDs. If you're more inclinded to listening to your own playlist, they'll be happy to bring up Bose iPod Speakers for you
  • There's a special bath menu (dead sea salt, rose, etc.) for those who want to soak away the stress
  • Your very own travel guide called Claska Neighbor (for an edited shopping and dining list) and a chance to explore the area through stylish bicycles
  • You can rent your own hookah
