Park Hyatt Kyoto
Gion, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto
“Terraced hillside residence”
MICHELIN Guide
Vibe
Low-slung tiled roofs cascade down the hillside, where fragrant tamo wood and garden courtyards evoke a modern private ryokan.
“Terraced hillside residence”
Dedicated concierges arrange private temple meditation, accompanied by evening Champagne beside The Living Room hearth.
Tony Chi interiors layered in fragrant tamo wood, framed garden courtyards, and sweeping Yasaka Pagoda views.
Preserved Edo-period wooden structures and the historic 1877 Kyoyamato ryōtei anchor the terraced hillside grounds.
Set along the historic stone slopes of Ninenzaka, steps from Kōdai-ji Temple and Yasaka Pagoda.
Rooms
Pale tamo wood wraps each room, where floor-to-ceiling glass looks onto private moss gardens or the Yasaka Pagoda skyline.
Wellness
Private treatment suites pair with wooden saunas and a steam room, alongside a quiet relaxation lounge and 24-hour gym.
Backstory
The hillside grounds weave around Kyoyamato, a seventh-generation ryōtei founded in 1877, preserving Edo-era wooden pavilions and historic tea rooms.
Eat & drink
Sip rare Japanese whiskies at Kohaku overlooking the pagoda, or savor multi-course kaiseki inside the historic 1877 dining pavilion.
The neighborhood
Stepping outside puts you directly on the stone-paved slope of Ninenzaka, moments from Kōdai-ji Temple before morning crowds arrive.
“The brand-new Park Hyatt Kyoto... keeps a much lower profile, its low-slung interconnected buildings spread out like a hillside village in the city's historic Higashiyama district.”
