The Westin Miyako Kyoto

Perched majestically on the forested slopes of Higashiyama, The Westin Miyako Kyoto is a masterful fusion of heritage charm and contemporary restorative luxury. Originally established in 1890, this storied sanctuary has been reimagined by renowned architect Togo Murano to offer a seamless connection between the city’s imperial past and a modern wellness-focused future. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in Soka Sui, one of Japan’s largest natural hot spring facilities, where the steam rises against a backdrop of lush emerald gardens. Each room is a cocoon of tranquility, featuring minimalist Japanese aesthetics and panoramic views that sweep across the ancient temples of Kyoto. Whether you are indulging in refined seasonal cuisine at the rooftop restaurant or finding stillness in the historic Kasui-en annex, the hotel serves as an elegant gateway to the 'Philosopher’s Path' and the spiritual heart of Japan’s cultural capital. Here, true luxury is found in the whispers of the mountain breeze and the meticulous art of Omotenashi hospitality.
