Designhotel, grand down to the smallest details
Since the Ritz-Carlton in Kyoto opened its doors in 2014, this urban resort has been widely praised. The location is an affluent, historic district in the center of Kyoto, beautifully located on the Kamogawa River with behind it the silhouette of the Higashiyama Mountains. Centuries-old Japanese design and modern aesthetics blend seamlessly. The Ritz-Carlton is a tribute to Japanese design of all time, and the spaces are grand, elegant and intimate at the same time.
Here you can retreat to your room in this urban oasis. Very fine bed linen, luxurious vanity products, and a second television in the bathroom are the details that contribute to a benevolent whole. You can choose from Western rooms, fusion-style or traditional rooms or suites with tatami mats and futons.
Due to its convenient location in the heart of the city, you can quickly find yourself in trendy shopping streets or in the imperial gardens. The cultural capital is at your feet, ready to be discovered.
