Spend a day exploring the nearby shopping district of Gion, the Nishiki Market, and Nanzenji temple complex, before heading to the spa, 20m indoor pool, steam room, and dry sauna to unwind. Dining is equally enticing, from Michelin-starred Japanese dishes to elegant Italian cuisine and sweet treats at Pierre Hermé.The 134 rooms combine traditional motifs with contemporary Japanese design, 600-count linens and oversized baths for a welcoming retreat, while large windows frame the view of the city, courtyard, garden, river or mountains. From checking-in over a cup of traditional tea to the modern Japanese art displayed throughout, it offers a comfortable stay that honours the heritage of the country in the food, experiences, design and service.
