On March 1, 2021, the Kyoto Tokyu Hotel introduced its newly renovated "Concept Floor.” Located on the sixth floor of the eight-story hotel, these 66 upscale, sophisticated “Concept Rooms” merge charm with subtle, modern Japanese aesthetics. Original, mounted wall art and pillows feature traditional Japanese patterned cloth. The pillow shams are also accented with Kyoto Kumihimo (braided kimono rope ties). Each guestroom fully immerses visitors in the unique comfort and ambiance of Kyoto from their own room. This is further evident as guests are welcomed with a special Kyoto confectionary plate Kinsai Kogei, broadening the omotenashi (hospitality) experience. Other in-room amenities include: 4K TV, environmentally friendly LED lighting, new antibacterial carpeting, an air purifier/humidifier, and a handy viral sterilization/removal spray that guests can use at will.
The Kyoto Tokyu Hotel is located in the city center, adjacent to Nishi Honganji Temple and convenient to most major tourist sites. Waterfalls and streams flowing through the courtyard, enhanced by a calming bamboo grove, create a meditative atmosphere evoking an ancient city within the hotel.
Three classic restaurants serve: (1) traditional Kyoto style cuisine, (2) hybrid Chinese dishes, and
(3) a wide array of gastronomic delights in a relaxed atmosphere (including both Japanese and Western breakfast options). Guests can also enjoy a drink at the lounge or rooftop bar.
Kyoto has been the center of Japanese art, culture, and cuisine, since it was chosen as the Imperial Capital in 794. Today, with more than 2000 Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, 40+ universities, over 100 Michelin Star restaurants, 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, dozens of museums and galleries, and beautifully preserved traditional architecture and gardens, Kyoto remains the “cultural capital of Japan.” The Kyoto Tokyu Hotel is an ideal place to stay to experience it all.
