The Prince Akatoki London *****

🎢 A five-star staycation where Marylebone meets Kyoto. Akatoki means “dawn” in Japanese, and here, every detail echoes that fleeting moment between shadow and light, balance and purity. Light wood, washi paper, and delicate shadows shape an ultra-refined sanctuary designed for contemplation. Start with a yuzu-infused cocktail at the Malt Lounge, savor a perfectly seared tuna tataki at TOKii (not included), then drift off on organic cotton sheets, embraced by the space’s minimalist harmony. The ultimate moment? A fusion breakfast where marinated fish meets buttery pastries, and matcha takes a seat at the table. Halfway between London and Tokyo, this stopover is pure bliss.

⭐️ The highlight: Book a table at TOKii, the hotel’s restaurant, and indulge in Japanese scallops with seaweed butter, yuzu miso salmon bites, Cornish crab, or California uramaki with crab, brûléed yuzu avocado, and raspberry (extra).
