Mercure Kyoto Station  

At Kyoto’s transport crossroads — just an 8‑minute walk from the Central Gate of JR Kyoto Station. Close to Nishihonganji Temple and Kyoto Tower, it’s a prime base for temple-hopping, shopping and fast train connections.

The hotel riffs on Heian-era pastimes with playful design touches like an origami kemari installation and a blown-glass sphere wall. Interiors feel calm and boutique. All rooms are non-smoking and come with air conditioning, a fridge, TV and hairdryer.

Expect a lively bar and a restaurant, free Wi‑Fi throughout, elevator access and facilities for guests with disabilities. There are safe-deposit boxes and a courteous staff ready to help. The design-forward public spaces make for a stylish place to unwind after a day in Kyoto.

On-site restaurant offers local cuisine and a bar serves evening drinks beneath the hotel’s striking design features. Perfect for sampling Kyoto flavors without straying far.
