About this hotel
General information
Hilton Kyoto sits in the city’s business and shopping heart, in the Sanjo-Kawaramachi district, within walking distance of the Kamo River, the lanes of Pontocho and the Gion quarter. The interiors take their cue from Kyoto’s orimono weaving: patterns in the tall lobby atrium recall the interlaced threads of traditional textiles, and the rooms pair contemporary comfort with understated Japanese motifs. There are 313 rooms and suites in all.
Four restaurants and bars range from an Italian osteria and a Kyoto-inspired buffet to a café in the atrium and a seasonal rooftop bar looking towards the Higashiyama hills. For downtime there is eforea Spa, an indoor pool and a fitness centre, while executive categories have use of the Executive Lounge. Events are hosted in the Raden ballroom and several meeting rooms.
Location
The hotel stands on Kawaramachi Street in Nakagyo ward, a few minutes’ walk from Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae and Sanjo stations. Pontocho is about 0.5 km away, Nishiki Market 0.8 km, Heian Shrine 1.5 km, Nijo Castle 2 km and Kiyomizu-dera 2.6 km; Kyoto Station is roughly 15 minutes by car. Osaka Itami Airport is 50 km away and Kansai 101 km; the hotel does not run its own airport shuttle.
Spa
eforea Spa looks to the landscape around Kyoto: signature blends of Kitayama cedar (kitayama-sugi), hinoki cypress and kuromoji underpin its treatments, which introduce guests to international massage and skincare techniques. The spa is open daily.
Sports & leisure
The fitness centre sits alongside the indoor pool with its lounge area and eforea Spa. The concierge helps with plans for the day, and many of central Kyoto’s best-known shrines, temples and shopping streets lie within a few kilometres of the hotel.
