Hotels Own Introduction
In the Heart of Kyoto
Set in the vibrant centre of Kyoto, the hotel is just 15 minutes from JR Kyoto Station and moments from the city’s most celebrated sights. World Heritage landmarks such as Nijo Castle and Kiyomizu-dera Temple are within easy reach, as are the atmospheric streets of Gion and the culinary delights of Nishiki Market.
Above the City
High above the lively streets, the seasonal rooftop bar is a serene retreat overlooking the Higashiyama skyline. Soft lantern light, a gentle breeze scented with seasonal foliage and intimate, elegantly designed nooks create a calm, elevated escape. Here, Kyoto-inspired cocktails and spirits are paired with beautifully presented baskets of seasonal bites—your private nest in the Kyoto sky.
Wellness & Rejuvenation
During your stay, enjoy access to the fitness centre, indoor pool and spa. Our wellness philosophy is rooted in the surrounding landscape, with signature blends of kitayama-sugi, hinoki and kuromoji—symbols of endurance and vitality. Thoughtfully crafted treatments combine international techniques with Kyoto’s long-standing devotion to holistic wellbeing, offering a deeply restorative experience.
