The entrance embraces classic Japanese architectural language—wooden frames, tiled roofs, and a pebble-stone pathway lead to a view of a minimalist rock garden. This design merges Kyoto’s ancient charm with sleek modern details (like clean-lined timber and dark stone), crafting a “timeless yet contemporary” first impression.
Inside, the lounge balances warmth and sophistication: Wide wooden planks and a checkerboard-patterned wall echo traditional Japanese craftsmanship, while a ceiling of dotted, star-like lights adds a modern, dreamy touch. Minimalist timber furniture, paired with vibrant yellow armchairs, creates a space that feels both rooted in heritage and suited for modern relaxation or light business interactions.
Guest rooms act as “frames for both nature and culture”: One side features floor-to-ceiling glass that draws in views of stone walls and greenery, blurring indoor-outdoor boundaries. Slide open the shoji-style partition, and the other side reveals a panoramic view of Kyoto’s old town—with pagodas and traditional rooftops stretching to the horizon. Natural materials (rattan, solid wood) and understated textiles embody wabi-sabi aesthetics, merging comfort with refined cultural expression.
Overall, the hotel serves as a “modern vessel for Kyoto’s heritage”—immersing guests in the city’s artistic soul while delivering the luxury and comfort of a world-class hotel.
