Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Located in Higashiyama, the Hyatt Regency Kyoto attracts guests wishing to stay in close proximity to the neighbourhood’s temples while also enjoying a respite from the crowds to be found staying in the city centre. The hotel’s design, both in the lobby, restaurants, and guestrooms, strikes a balance between modern elements and traditional accents such as kimono fabric, pottery, and brass fixtures.
Amenity highlights: At the Hyatt Regency Kyoto’s Touzan Bar guests can sample an extensive selection of Japanese sake, including varieties locally produced in Kyoto’s Fushimi district, renowned for their smooth and mellow characteristics. Three restaurants also serve Japanese, Italian, and Continental cuisine. The on-site Riraku Spa and Fitness day spa offers health and beauty treatments featuring organic products from Chidoriya, a supplier to geisha and traditional dancers.
Insider tip: At Maiko Hana no Seki guests can see traditional dance performances and be served tea and confectionaries by geisha-in-training. This is an ideal way to experience this aspect of Japanese society while sidestepping large-scale demonstrations that lack the personal touch which is at the core of geisha culture. Performances are held on weekend afternoons; directions available at the concierge desk.
