A sleek and stylish high-end accommodation option on the eastern side of Kyoto, The Hotel Higashiyama is definitely one for the design lovers. Think brushed concrete walls and low, angular ceilings, splashes of colour with the flooring and soft furnishings – all of these elements come together create an intimate and cosy feel while at the same time maintaining that luxurious touch throughout.
The hotel is centrally-located so you are within walking distance of plenty of Kyoto’s best sights – in fact there are a handful of temples right on your doorstep dotted through Maruyama Park which is immediately south of the property – as well as an ample selection of eateries to while away your evenings. You’re also located right outside a subway station and bus stop, so outings to Kyoto’s torii gate shrines, Imperial Palace or bamboo forests, as well as day trips outside of the city, are an absolute breeze.
