【New Hotel Opening】Six Senses Kyoto

Six Senses Kyoto is nestled in Kyoto's Higashiyama temple district, where Blink Design Group has transformed eight century-old machiya townhouses. The design centers on a contemporary interpretation of wabi-sabi: guest rooms feature traditional crafts like washi paper and Bizen-yaki pottery, while the courtyard preserves ancient maple trees with "borrowed scenery" landscaping. Weekly activities include Urasenke tea ceremonies and morning zazen meditation led by monks. The spa offers a unique "Forest Breathing" therapy combined with guided moss garden walks by botanists. Blink Design Group is an internationally renowned hospitality design firm headquartered in Singapore, founded by Clint Nagata. Specializing in luxury resorts and urban lifestyle spaces, their designs focus on "local cultural narratives," skillfully blending traditional heritage with modern aesthetics to create immersive experiences. Their award-winning projects, frequently honored by AHEAD Asia and other international design awards, have established them as the "Asian hospitality design benchmark" in cultural fusion.
