and discovery go hand-in-hand. Sometimes this means
getting lost in a city’s backstreets, other times it’s opting for
somewhere low-key to rest your head. If less really is more, these
seven understated hotels certainly deliver. They might not be
insider favourites, but that’s precisely why we like them.

BnA Hotel Koenji
Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo is full of sleek, exclusive hotels, but this hidden gem
based in residential Koenji is for those looking to step out of
their comfort zone. The functional rooms double as art
installations, meaning with every stay the artists, architects,
textile designers and carpenters benefit financially – it’s a
win-win situation. The bar, gallery and rooftop lounge inside the
complex host various events, which guests are encouraged to
participate in throughout the year, so while the neighbourhood may
not be a tourist hotspot, it’s still buzzing with life.
