RIHGA Gran Kyoto is the epitome of a modern Japanese hotel, perfectly showcasing Kyoto’s warm omomuki – its distinctive sense of atmosphere and charm. The refined design and artistic touches throughout the hotel create an inspiring base right at the heart of Japan’s cultural capital.
The hotel is situated on a side street near Kyoto Station in central Kyoto, giving you an ideal starting point for exploring the city’s atmospheric neighbourhoods on foot. From the station, you can also easily reach Kyoto’s outer attractions before returning to the relaxing surroundings of the hotel.
You’ll stay in a Standard Room featuring soft lighting and a carefully balanced colour palette. The bespoke bed provides extra comfort, and the bathroom is equipped with a separate shower area, washbasin, and toilet. Additional amenities include air conditioning, WiFi, a TV, a mini-fridge, a kettle with a Japanese tea set, a safety box, a hairdryer, as well as a well-chosen selection of toiletries, a yukata robe, and slippers.
After an eventful day in Kyoto, unwind at the hotel’s large sentō, which offers separate bathing areas for men and women. Here you can enjoy a soothing moment immersed in traditional Japanese bathing culture. The hotel also features several cosy lounge areas where you can relax to gentle background music.
During your stay, you can look forward to starting your day with an elegant “Four Seasons Box” – a true feast for the eyes – accompanied by a buffet featuring delightful local ingredients. During the day, the restaurant also serves as a guest lounge, while in the evening it transforms into an intimate bar offering Japanese sake on the menu.
