Park Hyatt Kyoto

Kyoto’s Higashiyama District, tucked alongside the waters of the Kamo River, is an area of immense cultural significance with an abundance of classical buildings and historic sites - an ideal base for Park Hyatt Kyoto. Offering “a unique blend of modern heritage and hospitality,” Park Hyatt Kyoto features 70 guest rooms, including nine suites, with interior spaces designed to highlight the craftsmanship of local Japanese artisans. Subdued tones of tamo wood, original artworks depicting revered sakura (cherry blossoms), and garden views are standard. The hotel also has spa and fitness center, as well as services such as in-room dining and laundry. Culinary options are also highly diverse at Park Hyatt Kyoto, as several in-house restaurants and bars cover Japanese “teppan” style cooking, seasonal kaiseki (traditional banquet dining), casual bistro-style comfort foods and baked goods, and a curated collection of rare spirits, wines, and other beverages.

Why We Love This Hotel

Location: Park Hyatt Kyoto’s location enables quick, easy access to the old, historic buildings and streets of the Higashiyama District, but guests are also able to explore the other, more modernized parts of the city with equal convenience.

Aesthetics: Park Hyatt Kyoto boasts some of the most striking design elements of any five-star guesthouse in Japan. The hotel’s gardens alone are sure to inspire a feeling of zen and residential comfort.

Traditional Cuisine: Resident chefs at Park Hyatt Kyoto are classically trained and steeped in the traditional Japanese cooking styles of teppanyaki and kaiseki. While opportunities for gastronomic exploration are bountiful beyond the hotel, guests will be delighted to find such authentic options within the property itself.
