Park Hyatt Kyoto  

Tucked into Higashiyama, Kyoto’s cultural quarter, a luxury 5-star hotel sits steps from Kodai-ji and Hokanji Temple. It’s within easy walking distance of Kiyomizu Temple, Gion Corner, Yasaka Shrine and the atmospheric Gion and Pontocho streets.

Seventy guestrooms blend modern minimalism with local touches. Rooms include minibars, espresso makers, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, down comforters and premium bedding. Private bathrooms pair shower/tub combinations with deep soaking tubs and designer toiletries; many rooms also offer bathrobes and slippers.

Pamper yourself at the on-site spa with massages and a sauna. Keep up routines in the 24-hour fitness center or with in-room fitness options. Complimentary Wi-Fi, concierge and wedding services, a library and limited on-site parking round out the offerings—perfect for quiet, temple-side mornings or late-night city returns.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout. Conference and meeting facilities are available, plus express check-out, lobby newspapers and dry cleaning/laundry services for convenience.

Four on-site restaurants showcase local Kyoto flavors, backed up by a coffee shop/cafe and a relaxed bar/lounge. 24-hour room service is available, and a Japanese breakfast is offered daily for a fee.
