Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Amanda K picks out her first choice in Tokyo. Enjoy.

Pictures were already enough to make me want to stay at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, which recently picked up an award for being one of the "most beautiful public spaces" in Japan's capital. Then I checked some customer reviews and found crazily positive titles littering the page: "Absolutely stunning!", "Don't stay anywhere else", "High expectations were more than met" and "Fantastic splurge". Plus a comment from a travel agent with 25 years' experience who was prompted to write her first online review ever because Tokyo's Mandarin was just so good.

Sitting right in the middle of Tokyo in the Nihonbashi district, I can just imagine dreamily staring over the city lights from the 38th floor, or popping down to the 36th to enjoy nearly 10,000 square feet of spa. Rooms are categorized according to their view: that might be to Tokyo Bay, the Palace, or even Mount Fuji, or all three if you book the presidential suite. I think that if you're going to survive a city as big and busy as Tokyo, you have to spoil yourself to have the ultimate place to come home to at night, and that sounds like the Mandarin Oriental at the moment--arigatou!
