Location & Transport
The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the Kyoto Art Centre and 15 minutes from Honno-ji Temple. It's adjacent to the Kyoto Imperial Palace and Karasuma Oike subway station, which connects to Kyoto Station, Nijyojyo Castle, and Kyoto International Conference Hall. Nishiki Market is a 10-minute walk away, and Gion District is a 20-minute ride by public transport.
Services & Features
The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, concierge services, and a banquet hall. The lobby has black marble, exposed brick, and a large chandelier. A recreation of London's St Simon Zelotes Chapel sits in the inner courtyard. Ironing facilities, mini-bars, and trouser presses are available in rooms.
“The infusion of Scottish design into a Kyoto hotel creates a distinctive atmosphere, further enhanced by the thoughtful inclusion of amenities for families. Its prime location near Karasumaoike Subway Station also places major attractions like Nijo Castle and Nishiki Market within easy reach. Having access to on-site hot springs and a sauna, plus French and Japanese dining, makes it an appealing choice.”
