Park Hyatt Kyoto is located in one of the city's best-preserved
historic districts, Higashiyama hills. The region, known as the
birthplace of traditions such as the Japanese tea ceremony, the
Ikebana flower arrangement and Japanese Zen gardens, will offer a
rich foundation for the hotel. Park Hyatt Kyoto embodies the
quintessential Japanese guesthouse, offering a serene Higashiyama
hillside retreat for discerning global travelers and local
residents. The hotel is next to Kodai-ji temple and within walking
distance to many of Kyoto’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, including
Kiyomizu-dera temple, and offers sweeping views of the city and
Yasaka Pagoda. Park Hyatt Kyoto is located less than one mile (1.5
kilometers) from the Kyoto train station, which connects travelers
to Tokyo in just over two hours via the Nozomi Shinkansen bullet
train.
“We are delighted to celebrate the opening of Park Hyatt Kyoto,
the second Park Hyatt hotel in Japan in 25 years, and to offer
guests a refined home-away-from-home in this remarkable city,” said
David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “We are grateful
to the hotel’s owners, Kyoyamato and Takenaka Corporation, for
their trust, support and deep understanding of luxury hospitality.
Park Hyatt Kyoto is a celebration of Japanese harmony and
tranquility and we look forward to seeing guests immerse themselves
in the city’s inspiring heritage and culture.”
Located within the same grounds as Park Hyatt Kyoto, guests can
find a historic garden with steps leading to Kyoyamato, a
traditional ryotei and culinary institution which opened in 1877
and serves authentic, seasonally inspired Kaiseki cuisine.
Kyoyamato, one of the hotel’s owners, is a seven-generation,
family-run business and consists of several historic buildings
including “Soyotei,” a teahouse from the Edo era with a private
room where feudal warlords once secretly met. Its storied gardens
and traditional houses complement the hotel’s modern interpretation
of classical Japanese architecture and intimate hospitality.
“We are excited to introduce the Park Hyatt brand of personal
and exceptional hospitality in a special place like Kyoto and look
forward to unlocking the unique character of Japan’s ancient
capital of high arts and craft,” said Mark de Leeuwerk, general
manager, Park Hyatt Kyoto. “It has been a privilege for us to work
closely with our neighbors in Higashiyama as well as the artisans
and craftsmen of this beautiful city.”
Concept and Design
Park Hyatt Kyoto is a modern interpretation of Japanese
hospitality steeped in culture and place, immersing guests in
nature. Jointly developed by Takenaka Corporation – one of the
largest architecture, engineering, and construction firms in Japan,
and Tony Chi and Associates, an award-winning interior design firm
– the hotel’s design and construction incorporates traditional
Japanese design, architecture and artisanal craftsmanship. Several
historic buildings including an Edo-era teahouse, as well as the
Japanese garden that is central to the site, have been preserved
and carefully restored.
Guestrooms
The low-rise hotel features 70 guest rooms, including nine
suites, offering calm and respite from the bustle of Higashiyama's
neighboring streets. The elegantly designed rooms and suites
highlight local craftsmanship and materials such as fragrant Tamo
wood, original artwork and Zen garden views.
Drinking and Dining
Park Hyatt Kyoto offers guests and visitors four distinct
culinary venues:
Kyoto Bistro is a casual, street-side café featuring
international and Japanese comfort food prepared with locally
sourced and organic ingredients in a lively, open kitchen. All
dishes are served on handmade earthenware exclusively created for
the hotel by Asahiyaki, a local pottery master with a heritage of
over 400 years in Uji, a city south of Kyoto.
Bathed in natural light during the day and the lingering scent
of Tamo wood from the open fireplace, The Living Room
welcomes guests to start their day with an authentic Japanese
breakfast expertly prepared by Kyoyamato or an afternoon enjoying
tea and light snacks.
Yasaka’s team of skilled chefs demonstrate their elevated
cooking skills on the Japanese “teppan,” or “steel plate,” which
guests can enjoy alongside the breathtaking views of Kyoto’s famous
Yasaka Pagoda.
After the stimulating teppanyaki action at Yasaka, guests can
head next door to Kohaku, where a fine collection of rare
and craft spirits, including artisanal whiskey, sake, and gin made
in Kyoto, awaits. The intimate bar exudes a warm, classic
atmosphere with its dark woods and leather textures.
Events and Wedding
Park Hyatt Kyoto is positioned to be the city’s premier location
for unique, timeless, and crafted experiences inspired by the
tradition and majesty surrounding the hotel and the city. Alongside
views of a Tsuboniwa Japanese garden, the elegant ballroom offers
2,153 square feet (200 square meters) of event space and
multi-functional meeting facilities, a show kitchen, foyer and the
latest audio-visual system.
Wellness
A tranquil heaven, The Spa at Park Hyatt Kyoto, has a
treatment suite for two with a private bath house including
Japanese-style bathtubs, as well as dry and mist saunas. The
signature treatment features an original signature oil developed by
Kotoshina, a Kyoto-based organic skincare brand using locally
harvested green tea. The spa and adjacent wellness center are open
only to guests staying at the hotel.
