Character and identity
Perched at the base of Higashiyama mountain with sweeping views over feudal-era Kyoto, this 130-year-old grande dame carries genuine historical weight: imperial families and heads of state have long made it their Kyoto base. A 2020 renovation refreshed the interiors with contemporary lines while preserving the manicured grounds and 19th-century bones. Dining now runs from Dominique Bouchet's French restaurant and teppanyaki room to an English tea lounge (MAYFAIR), a champagne bar (ROKUZA), and the mountain-view RAQOU. The Sothys spa, a striking new chapel, an authentic Urasenke tea room, and Spa Kacho's indoor-outdoor onsen round out the experience.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and culturally curious travellers who want a historic Kyoto address within walking distance of Nanzenji, Eikando, Ginkakuji, and Heian Shrine. The blend of onsen bathing, formal tea ceremony with an honorary Urasenke master, and serious French cooking suits guests who treat the hotel as half the itinerary.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers wanting a sleek, design-forward boutique or a central Gion or Karasuma base for nightlife and shopping. The hillside setting means a taxi or tram ride to downtown, and the grande-dame register skews traditional rather than contemporary-cool.
Bottom line
The pull here is setting and continuity: a hillside perch on the Higashiyama temple circuit, paired with an onsen, a working tea room, and Dominique Bouchet's kitchens. Book it if you want Kyoto's eastern temples on your doorstep and a proper Japanese bath at day's end. Request a room facing Higashiyama, and pre-reserve the Karaku-an tea ceremony well in advance.
