Luxury Hotels in Kyoto

We chose a large corner room with windows on both sides. The hotel building has a history of more than 200 years. The location is great. It is right at the entrance of Kiyomizu Temple Commercial Street. It is quiet in the bustling city. The hotel is very quiet and elegant, with high-end decoration, complete facilities and excellent service! Breakfast is served in a library-style restaurant, which is very special. I highly recommend Japanese breakfast. Everyone thinks it is high-end Japanese cuisine when they post it on WeChat Moments. There are also vegetarian and children's meal options for breakfast. I also strongly recommend the window seat in the executive lounge. Drink Japanese tea or Japanese whiskey in the afternoon and look at the quaint buildings outside. It is worth the effort!

The Kamo Delta is a hidden gem in Kyoto and this place is right on the correct spot. The room is fabulous with great bedding and quality furniture. It’s more like a large studio apartment than a hotel room. There’s even a stove top, laundry machine, and microwave/toaster oven. The large window facing the river actually slides open so you can let the fresh air from the riverside into the room. My favorite was just watching people enjoying the rock crossing at the delta at sunset. Such a lovely spot and that I hope to spend more time at soon. Location is super convenient to buses, a subway station, and Shimogamo Shrine - a UNESCO world heritage site that is just spectacular and very much undiscovered by the hordes or tourists that visit Kyoto (and I hope it stays that way!)

So glad that I chose Six Senses Kyoto, love the design and everything about the hotel. I must say the pool was one of the best pools I ever swam, felt so calm and relaxed. Room was super comfortable and clean, overall experience was beyond my expectations. Thank you the team for their impeccable service, they are so well trained and professional. Excellent quality breakfast with buffet and à la carte menu.

We loved our stay at Hotel the Mitsui. Super nice and zen design . Absolutely adore their lobby area, which I think is designed by Andre Fu. Always drawn into his work somehow. Breakfast food was okay, but the view really made up everything l. Super relaxing & beautiful Service was great. Most of them were able to speak English proficiently. There’s a thermal spring at their basement, which you have to call the reception before you go to ensure there’s enough space. Everything was well prepared, including swimwear, disposable underpants, towels, water, etc. Since they control the # of people, everyone has their own space and it still feels very private. Room is nice with many details. Love their huge selection of pillows available for guests. It’s not huge, but the space is well used. Location wise, I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient, but if you take a cab, everything is reachable in 20 mins max, so it’s not too bad. There are still good restaurants and touristy places to go that are in walkable distance, so it’s not middle of nowhere. Overall, fantastic experience which I will recommend for others!
