"The town of Atami brings Japan's love of hot springs right to the coast. Imagine sitting in the soothing mineral waters of your own private tub while gazing upon the sea, and you've imagined your stay at Hiramatsu Atami. The architectural details, inspired by a traditional Japanese house, are stacked with enough elevation that you can stare out at the ocean from your suite. There are only 13 rooms, which means plenty of personal care." - Brandon Presser

Imagine sitting in the soothing mineral waters of your own private tub while staring out at the sea, and you've imagined your stay at Hiramatsu Atami. What's the backstory? A small luxury chain operating domestically, Hiramatsu might not have the international name recognition, but locals are hip to its offerings. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book? The architectural details, inspired by a traditional Japanese house, are stacked with enough elevation that you can stare out at the ocean from your suite. There are only 13 rooms, which means plenty of personal care. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? Free. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? While Atami is famous for its seafood, the included breakfast and dinner to turn ingredients from all over Japan into multi-course meals. And the service? The omotenashi—Japanese sense of hospitality—is on point. What type of travelers will you find here? Privacy is paramount to these guests. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene? Atami is a sleepy town, but the tide is slowly turning—expect more hotels of this caliber to open in the near future. Any other hotel features worth noting? Bulgari bathing amenities are a fun international addition to the rooms." - Brandon Presser
