This property, set around a central garden originally landscaped over a century ago by famed landscape gardener Kumakichi Kato, has been lovingly reimagined for a new era in homage to Kato's enduring legacy, and will offer travellers unparalleled levels of luxury, world class facilities and 83 elegant rooms.

Located in one of the city's most affluent areas Okazaki which is known for its collection of renowned villas, the hotel site is home to Tsuruya, recognised amongst Kyoto's top dining destinations. The 'ryotei' restaurant has a century long history with the premises originally developed and later used as accommodation and a dining venue for esteemed guests including the Japanese nobles and imperial family and state guests visiting the city. The Kyoto Imperial Palace, Heian Shrine and Nanzen-ji Temple are a short walk away.

The guest rooms will feature a modern interpretation of the tradition 'engawa' zone, by the window, where guests can indulge and connect with the surrounding gardens and the natural environment beyond, creating a seamless experience of architecture and landscape. This integration of architectural heritage and modern design will reflect Regent's philosophy of serenity, subtle grandeur and elegance.

    Regent Hotels & Resorts joined IHG Hotels & Resorts in 2018, reimagining a new era for the legendary luxury brand. Regent Kyoto will join Regent Santa Monica Beach, Regent Hong Kong, Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, Regent Shanghai on the Bund, Regent Phu Quoc and Regent Bali Canggu in exemplifying this new chapter for luxury hospitality.
