TRADITIONAL IDEAS AND COMFORTS
The Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto has been created around an 800 year old ikeniwa water garden.
Not only is the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto set amidst the ancient temples of the historic quarter of Kyoto – so it’s perfectly positioned to allow you to experience the spiritual essence of the old town – the hotel is also a symphony of traditional ideas and contemporary comforts. Your guest room will have the calm ambience, light and space you associate with Japanese interior design, but executed in a modern idiom. Double height windows frame your view of the tranquil gardens. A glass bridge leads you to the Tea House, for matcha, and on into the centuries old ikeniwa water garden. If you want to gain an insight into life in ancient Kyoto on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Japan, make sure you stay at Hotel Kyoto.
