"More luxury resort than city hotel, this calm enclave invites a full exhale with minimalist, temple-evoking architecture—light woods, pitched-roof walkways, mirror-like water pools, and seasonal gardens. The heartbeat is Tenjin (especially the dinner-only Chef’s Table), and the showstopper for Kyoto is an outdoor hot-spring thermal swimming pool—ideal recovery after sightseeing in the ancient capital." - Danielle Demetriou, Adam H.
