The luxury boutique hotel was designed by Yukio Hashimoto and is centred around a Japanese garden.
The hotel offers a collection of 25 rooms, from the 40-45 square metre Deluxe Room, to the 53 square metre Rikyu Suite. Select rooms feature balconies with views towards Nijo Castle and all rooms overlook the Japanese gardens.
The hotel's restaurant and bar, Singular, will specialise in French cuisine, inspired by Japan's beauty and the rich culinary traditions of Kyoto. Chef Susumu Okubo, who trained under the French culinary masters Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagnaire, will lead the restaurant. Okubo most recently served as Chef de Cuisine of the one-star Michelin restaurant, Pierre, in Osaka.
The hotel is located in close proximity to Nijo Castle - one of the seventeen Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, which has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Nijo Jo Mae Station is just a short walk away, offering guests convenient accessibility via the Tozai Subway Line. For the convenience of guests who travel by train, the hotel offers a private transfer service from Kyoto Station.
