The Stylish Kyoto Hyatt Regency: Sleek and Modern

Located in the historic Higashiyama Shichijo neighbourhood of Kyoto, the traditional and cultural heart of Kyoto, the stylish Hyatt Regency is arguably one of Kyoto's best hotels. Elegant and contemporary, the hotel is full of masterful, subtle touches that pay homage to Kyoto’s artistic and aesthetic traditions, from the grove of green bamboo that shields the building from the road to the pale wood rooms with panelled headboards made with large squares of kimono silks,  traditional paper lanterns and pressed summer kimonos and slippers thoughtfully provided for all guests. Designed by Takashi Sugimoto of Asia’s renowned Super Potato design firm, the hotel features several Japanese gardens, contemporary Japanese furniture, cedar tubs, a spa with shiatsu and acupuncture, wonderful restaurants, excellent gift shop as well as special Maiko dance performances from Kyoto’s Miyagawa-cho district, each evening. Ideally located, the sleek modern hotel sits right beside Kyoto's illustrious Sanjusangendo Buddhist Temple which dates from 1266 and is one of the world’s largest wooden structures with 1,000 life-sized statues of Kannon - the deity of mercy, while a 20-minute stroll brings you to Gion, where geisha totter along streets flanked by old wooden houses.
