If you don't mind splitting the onsen from the hotel, I highly recommend the private onsen suites at Hakone Yuryo (http://www.hakoneyuryo.jp/english/hotsprings/), which I've visited a few times.

You didn't mention price - a nice, memorable Ryokan experience can easily top $800-1,000 per night.

Gora Kadan is a somewhat 'foreigner friendly' Ryokan option in Hakone with open air baths outside some of the rooms or suites, but can be pricey.
