"On the outskirts of Beppu, a bayside city on the Japanese island of Kyūshū, Galleria Midobaru makes excellent use of the area’s famous geothermal springs. Each room comes with its own hot-spring onsen, plus a furnished balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows with overwater views. Public spaces split the difference between minimalism and brutalism with monolithic construction and airy, museumlike spaces replete with contemporary art. There’s a moody, wood-forward bar and an onsite spa, too." - Tablet Hotels
