“Exceptional Hospitality in the Heart of Historic Kyoto”

Feb 10, 2026WS12345678910

We had an amazing three-night stay at Park Hyatt Kyoto during the first week of February 2026, and the experience was exceptional from the very beginning. From the moment we arrived at the hotel’s front parking area, it truly felt as though everyone was expecting us. The welcome was warm and attentive, and check-in was smooth, efficient, and wonderfully relaxing. The property itself is stunning—beautifully designed and thoughtfully integrated into its surroundings, offering an immersive Kyoto experience. Its location is unbeatable, right in the historic Higashiyama area and within walking distance of many of Kyoto’s most iconic attractions. Mr. Toshiki at the front desk and his entire team took outstanding care of us throughout our stay. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made us feel genuinely valued. In addition to taking excellent care of us, the team was equally attentive and gracious to our friends who visited us at the property between our sightseeing activities, which we truly appreciated. Our guest room was spacious, elegant, and very well appointed, with ample storage and a design that felt both luxurious and calming. Every detail was clearly well thought out. Breakfast at Kyoto Bistro was a highlight. The food was delicious, made with high-quality ingredients, and paired with impeccable service. The added bonus of people-watching along the historic Ninenzaka street made each morning even more special. We also had the pleasure of enjoying a kaiseki lunch at the hotel’s partner restaurant, Sanso Kyoyamato. It was a wonderful experience—beautifully prepared dishes, exceptional flavors, and a serene, elegant setting. Sharing this meal with a group of friends made it even more memorable, and the service was attentive and refined throughout. One evening, we enjoyed drinks at Kohaku Bar, and it quickly became my partner’s favorite bar. He especially enjoyed the excellent cocktails in the beautiful, refined ambiance, along with the stunning views overlooking Yasaka Pagoda and the Kyoto skyline. The fitness and wellness areas were peaceful and relaxing, providing a perfect balance to our sightseeing days. Park Hyatt Kyoto has become our favorite property, and we are already looking forward to returning in the near future. A truly unforgettable stay.

“Tranquility in Kyoto”

Jan 25, 2026JM2007SJ

It’s hard to describe how fantastic this hotel is, but I will try! The hotel itself is tranquility amongst chaos. As soon as you step off the busy street and through the hotel doors, you are instantly calmed amongst the quiet. Even though this hotel sits on one of the busiest and crowded streets, you would never know this when you are inside the hotel. The decor is serene, and the design peaceful. Also, the way the hotel is designed on a hillside, you have incredible views over looking Kyoto, with an unmatched view. The hotel is laid out so you feel like you are in the country, not a city. Our room even had a little outdoor patio, which added to the tranquil ambiance. The location for us, this was perfect. While not close to public transportation, the hotel sits on one of the most quaint streets that is bustling with energy, shops and instagram worthy photos and is so incredibly close to the beautiful Shohiji Temple and so many other incredible sites. We were happy to use taxi’s and Ubers to get to the subway or where we wanted to go, and it was obvious many hotel guests were doing the same. The room itself was very comfortable, clean and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom amenities plentiful and the little patio was a treat, and we had plenty of storage and space. The service was incredible. The staff took the time to get to know you and seemed to genuinely want you to enjoy the hotel and your experience in Kyoto. We were left many little treats in our room, which was delightful! The dining in the hotel was outstanding - I highly recommend doing the teppanyaki - it absolutely exceeded our expectations and they were even able to do an all seafood meal for us as we don’t eat meat. My only complaint about the food was that breakfast was not included, which at this price point, I believe it really should be included. To sum it up, if you can afford to stay here and don’t mind the location not being right by the subway, I would stay here!

“A serene, deeply luxurious retreat in the heart of Kyoto”

Jan 15, 2026Megan T

Arriving at the Park Hyatt Kyoto felt like stepping into a wellness sanctuary, an extraordinary place to land after a long day of travel. From the moment we arrived, everything slowed down in the best possible way. We were welcomed with beautiful teas (or a drink of our choice), and check-in was unhurried and personal. The staff truly took their time, allowing us to relax and enjoy the welcome amenities rather than rushing through the process. The sensory experience of this hotel is exceptional. The music, subtle scents, and overall ambiance made it hard to want to leave the property at all it felt less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into someone’s impeccably curated home. And yet, just outside the doors is the lively energy of Kyoto’s historic old town, creating a perfect contrast. The sakura high tea was unforgettable. This review is from late March 2025, and revisiting photos recently, brought back how special the experience was. The attention to detail throughout the rooms, from the finishes to the creams and soaps adds to the unmistakably luxurious feel. What truly sets the Park Hyatt Kyoto apart, however, is the staff. They were consistently warm, gracious, and genuinely helpful. While this should be standard at a five-star hotel, it’s not always delivered with such ease, and when it is, it makes all the difference. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. It was the perfect final note to our Japanese trip, and a stay I will remember for a long time.
