THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

With a private outdoor terrace ringed with maple trees, camellias, azaleas, and windmill palms, this suite feels like staying in your own private arboretum, a cloistered escape from any hustle or stress. The traditional ceramic tub for the outdoor hot spring bath, silky smooth tatami flooring in the sleeping area, and wattle and daub accent walls provide touches of Japanese elegance everywhere you look, but of course the comfortable terrace chairs and the lantern-lit garden beckon most strongly, turning an evening chat over a glass of wine into the height of luxury. Recommended for smokers.
