Kyoto Tokyu

The outlet of a major national chain is a beautiful Japanese-style hotel with a brilliant touch. Its excellence in mixing contemporary and traditional taste in design is highly appreciated and brought two related awards (Kyoto Scenic Beauty Award, Building Contractors Society Award Japan) to the hotel. The hotel is suitable for travellers who would like to enjoy traditional Japanese ambience inside and outside their accommodation, yet with modern facilities within reach.
Exterior: The hotel is a brown modern-looking building. It looks small from the outside, but it is actually quite spacious. Due to laws for scenic reserve in the old town, buildings cannot be over a certain height, so the hotel built two floors underground to make for more rooms above the ground level.
Lobby: The lobby is on the underground floor, after going down from the main entrance. A beautiful view of a Japanese garden and waterfall makes for a very peaceful setting. The lounge and restaurants are on the same floor. There are personal computers for internet access operated with coins on the lobby floor.

The hotel has 432 guest rooms, all in a sophisticated modern Japanese style. The spacious rooms feature soft lighting, filtered as it is through Japanese paper screens. Enjoy the relaxed pace of life unique to the ancient capital of Kyoto. All rooms feature an en suite bathroom with bath and shower as standard. Rooms are also equipped with a satellite/cable TV, radio, direct dial telephone and Internet access, along with a safe, hairdryer, minibar, and tea and coffee making facilities.

There are three restaurants available in the hotel. The main dining room is open throughout a day and provides a buffet breakfast, along with French and Japanese meals for lunch and dinner. There is a small bar counter and lounge in the restaurant. The restaurant occupies large space in the shape of "L" or two big rooms bordering at a right angle surrounding the courtyard where dinners are able to find artificial waterfall and bamboo trees. The buffet breakfast includes Japanese local dishes and local specialties as well as typical Western style breakfast such as bread, scrambled egg. The Japanese restaurant is a branch of an established restaurant chain that has almost 80 years of history and is known for local traditional cuisine of Kyoto. In the space surrounded by shoji (Japanese traditional sliding doors) partitions and flames, a finely presented authentic meal of Kyoto cuisine is delight for any guest. The Chinese restaurant provides dishes that come from four different major regions of Chinese cuisine and ones that are fusions with Japanese or Western cuisine.

Massage and spa treatments are offered, as is an entertainment programme for the guests.
