Traveling across Asia offers a blend of modern comfort and rich culture. Here are four actionable tips to enhance your hotel experience.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Nearly 60% of hotels in Tokyo's Shinjuku area provide complimentary smartphone rentals for guests, like the Apa Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower.
Local Hack: When at a restaurant in Southeast Asia, use 'kopi' for coffee and 'teh' for tea; many hotels will suggest local spots that serve delicious, authentic options.
Hidden Gem: Check out the Yanaka District in Tokyo (a short ride from busy hotel areas) for an authentic taste of old Tokyo, featuring narrow streets lined with traditional shops and eateries.
Smart Tip: Booking directly through hotel websites can save you up to 20% compared to third-party sites, and often includes perks like breakfast or late checkout.
