Hakone Onsen Recommendation for Foreigner - English-Speaking Ryokan?

I'm planning to take a foreign friend to Hakone Onsen, but I'll need to leave partway through due to other commitments. Could anyone recommend a reliable onsen ryokan (Japanese inn with hot springs) in the Hakone area where English is spoken, so my friend will feel comfortable and well-taken care of after I leave? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Are there any hot spring Ryokan (Japanese inn) in the Hakone area that are easy to get to by train? I'd like one that has an open-air bath.

We will celebrate our first wedding anniversary in mid-November, so we are going on a trip to Hakone for a hot spring to celebrate. We are thinking of going by train. Since it is an important wedding anniversary, the price is not an issue. Please tell me a luxurious hotel where we can go to the hot spring.
