It is guaranteed that this hotel will not disappoint your taste buds at any of its eight restaurants with unique specialties, offering you creative dishes by chefs and other culinary wonders. 

During our stay, we got to dine at the hotel’s famous rotating restaurant on the 14th floor, Top of Kyoto, which serves authentic French delicacies. It is Kyoto’s sole revolving restaurant, providing a one-of-a-kind dining experience and fabulous 360-degree panoramic views of Japan’s ancient capital. From its elegant bespoke chargers to its exquisite wine list, this Kyoto French restaurant offers an elegant and highly original spin on the city. You would be thrilled to know that you can enjoy this place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The breakfast served here is elegant, to say the least; it is a feast for the eyes as much as the stomach. Enjoy a healthy arrangement of fresh fruit, freshly-baked pastries, a salad, two kinds of juice, local dairy milk, and coffee or tea. Remember to sit back and relax, observing Kyoto’s historic skyline and distant mountains and temples, all waiting for you to explore. 

The hotel also provides an all-day dining restaurant, KAZA, where chefs will prepare and plate creative delicacies to your desire. KAZA serves an extensive and seasonally perfect breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet, but an à la carte menu is also available. Guests participating in the buffet can flow through five service stations: hot foods, cold dishes, fresh breads, beverages, and desserts. 

Accessibility and nearby attractions

Last but not least, this hotel does not only provide excellent facilities and rooms but is also strategically located near the hub of transportation, Kyoto Station, making it easy to travel from Kansai International Airport or nearby tourist cities. You will have access and proximity to local attractions such as Nishi Hongan-Ji Temple, Kyoto Aquarium, and Kyoto Railway Museum, including several shopping malls and World Heritage sites.
