Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma

Motto hotels connect travelers with the heart of a destination through dynamic design, active social spaces and a true sense of place. The signing of Motto in Kyoto follows recent Motto openings in Brazil and Nashville and signings in Paris, Shanghai and Sydney. There are currently 13 Motto hotels in major urban, resort and adventure destinations around the world with more than 24 hotels under development.

Located just a two-minute walk from Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line and Karasuma Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line, the hotel will offer convenient access to some of Kyoto’s most renowned attractions, including Nishiki Market, known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen”, the Gion and Higashiyama districts where visitors can experience the city’s traditional culture and historic streetscapes, and the Shijo Kawaramachi area, a popular destination for shopping and dining. With excellent connectivity to Kyoto Station, the hotel is well positioned to serve both domestic and international leisure travelers, alongside business guests, seeking a vibrant and dynamic stay in the city.

Since making its Kyoto debut with the opening of ROKU KYOTO, LXR Hotels & Resorts in 2021, Hilton has steadily expanded its presence in the city, opening five hotels over the past five years. With an upcoming Curio Collection by Hilton property, and the addition of Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma, Hilton’s portfolio in Kyoto will expand to seven hotels. 

Motto by Hilton Kyoto Shijo Karasuma will be part of Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest loyalty program for Hilton's 28 distinct hotel brands. Members who book directly have access to instant benefits, including a flexible payment slider that allows members to choose nearly any combination of Points and money to book a stay, an exclusive member discount, free standard Wi-Fi, and the Hilton Honors mobile app.
