A truly sublime luxury hotel in the Southern Higashiyama area of Kyoto, the Four Seasons Kyoto is a top choice for a relaxing Kyoto stay.
Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto
Located at the southern end of the Southern Higashiyama sightseeing district, the Four Seasons, which opened in 2016, is one of the finest hotels in the city. The rooms are immaculate and spacious and the grounds are sumptuous, with a wonderful pond that is visible from many of the guest rooms. The on-site restaurants are fantastic and the staff is extremely helpful.
The hotel is within walking distance of the Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangen-do Temple, among other sights. And, it’s a short 10-minute taxi ride to the other main sights of the Southern Higashiyama district.
All told, the Four Seasons is highly recommended!
