“An elegant luxury hotel with a fabulous location set by the UNESCO heritage site, Nijo Castle. While the design is undeniably contemporary there is a traditional feel from tatami mat flooring, washi lights, and kimono textiles. With a thermal spa and two good restaurants, this is an indulgent stay.”

An elegant cocktail of Kyoto’s traditional heritage mixed with deluxe modern design is showcased at Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto (the dream team included André Fu). The hotel has 161 rooms, hot spring onsen bathing, a contemporary tea room, kimono-clad staff, and a location on a historic site just opposite Nijo Castle.
