The Hyatt Regency Kyoto’s location makes it a perfect setting for exploring the nearby Gion district, while the city’s temples and museums are within walking distance. In keeping with its surroundings, the hotel’s clean modern lines, bamboo, shoji screens and tatami floors create an undeniable sense of place. Adding to the sense of cultural immersion are specialist Japanese treatments at Riraku Spa and Japanese afternoon tea at Touzan, but as you’d expect from the international brand, it combines these with western spa treatments and a selection of dining options, including Italian dishes at Trattoria Sette.
The 187 rooms and suites deliver sleek, minimalist Japanese design with wooden accents, fresh white linens, Kimono fabric headboards, paper lanterns and large bathtubs, and balance this with modern amenities including flat-screen TVs and a Blu-ray player.
Benesse House, situated on Naoshima Island in the Setouchi Inland Sea, seamlessly blurs the lines between hotel and art gallery.
